@stargazer right, so how many tries have been scored against us directly from his offensive and defensive errors? He misses more tackles than any other player I've noticed. He's made shitty mistakes with the ball too.
Annnnd Collier winds back the clock and finishes the game in true Collier style. Has a free run to the corner, tries to bump off the tiny player and throws the ball out at the same time.

Agree there. Koroi did not look fit enough from the early matches. I think that leads to the ineffectual or high tackles, and the poor passes and ball security.
Knewstubb had a very high workrate. but I still think his kicking needs some work still.

So you win a tourny and get RSA and Samoa in your pool.
Finish 4th and get Spain, Canada and Japan.
Yes I know all of them are capable of beating us but ...
I suppose it shows the development in the game.

Well I'm happy because that little arsehole Rasta has been destroying sevens for me for over a decade. Prick. I wince whenever I see him come on to the field to ref us.
How long do you have to hold a player up for it to be a maul FFS?
I wonder who he is going to hate in the super "pick a number" and ruin that too?
-
The fact Rasta is promoted to Super Rugby is sufficient proof to me that there is no professional review or merit based system.

@antipodean that's probably been obvious since Mark Lawrence didn't make the world cup.
