Someone tell Fat Guts that there’s a reason Frizell is constantly on the bench for the Highlanders.
Too right. Obviously he can do the business against a shit team like Argentina but the Boks is a whole different kettle of fish.
At least we have Fifita for some impact in the second half.
Yep, I’m mostly sulking because neither Cane nor Savea is available to rescue us from the bench...

Thank god Barrett is on the field.
I actually like him at fb
I'm obviously BB's no. 1 fan but have to agree. He's really good there.

@Donsteppa yeah Todd has been busy but ineffectual. Game is made for Canes bruising defence

@Rancid-Schnitzel He's done everything well tonight. Best AB on the park, and it's great to see. Goodhue has been shown up a few times this year. Second season syndrome?

Too many of our big players having an off night together

Even though we are ahead and who knows might smash them in 2nd half I think backs have looked dangerous but skills let us down. Still big issue is lack of go forward however. Every test for cple years have harked on about its Chalk and cheese vs SA forwards carries. Reality is for us SA has some better players than us and a simple and effective game plan to nullify our game. I don’t think players are playing bad just SA have good players and coach.
Let’s go ABs!

Heard quietly that Steve had a few beers during the week. He then staggered down to what he thought was the NZRU cellar to get a bottle of red. But it was the arsenal! As he was hunting for that precious bottle he needed to take a leak. “Why that looks like some sawdust”, he thought. “Sweet, I can take a slash and no one will be the wiser”. Relief as the yellow stream hit the floor. Just as he was zipping up he saw a little sign: Powder. Keep dry.

BB has been great this half but a lot more time and space at the back than 10 against the Boks fast moving defensive line so hard to judge RM
Would BB have played as well as he has if he had been at 10.not sure, I like BB at the back he looks really good at FB -

If we still had dan carter , fullback is where he starts imo, right now, it’s a debate obviously,
I personally think he is more dangerous with the extra space
