Well, after seeing this first half, I think BFA at 14 is clearly the wrong decision. Naholo would have been a better option. Cue BFA proving me wrong in the 2nd half (I hope).

He has played some fantastic rugby on the right wing in his early test years , may have had a bit more spark in his attacking games in those days though .

Which begs the question - is BFA past it? He's old for an outside back, and Jordie is playing the house down at 15.

@no-quarter It's bound to happen at some point. Rather this year, than next.

Forwards being schooled on try line work

I guess u have to kick for the corner that time having given up the easier kick first half , and the fact they have 38 mins not 90 seconds to make it work.

Not that I agree .

[No Quarter]

Grrr chip kick just hands back possesion.

Quite correct. One of my favourite players.

[taniwharugby]

[broughie]

Alright. Lets see what youve got 17.

Not a bad first scrum for the big fella.

[Rapido]

Chaaaaaaaa hooooo!
