DMac a little stiff to get overlooked?
. His timing is off and he's still putting people on his own side under pressure. He's probably trying too hard.
You've summed up his talents perfectly there. Not just this game, his whole career.
pre-injury last year he was reigning it in and with his ball skills and speed was creating some great opportunities. I'm a fan, happy to white knight all you like

I've never been a fan. So helter skelter. I just don't trust him in black, he can wear the Chiefs kit all he likes.
Hope he proves me wrong, but I'd be terrified to see him starting in a major test match

Could equally be a discussion about J Barrett

Oozed talent pre-injury. Created tries from nothing. Amazing player, cut down the error rate and there's a reason he was a locked in member of the matchday 23. Hansen seriously rated. him.

I'm not his biggest fan, but i feel like ypu are doing his 2018 end of year tour a massive disservice. He was just about our best player

There was no EOYT tour in 2018, in particular no trip to Dublin, and nothing you say can change that. [inserts ear blocking gif/emoji if I was able]

- Beauden Barrett
Can't comment on the other game as haven't seen it yet, but this wasn't Beauden's best outing. Some really average option taking, not sure he sparked much, and was solid without being outstanding. Didn't really seem to get a chance to stretch his legs.
So, if either 15 in the toher game played well, they'd be strong contenders.
Agree. DMac was better than Barrett.

@nzzp Failing to understand the lack of love for Beauden from Blues fans. I thought he was very solid for a guy playing his first game back.
Oh he was solid. But 15 of the round? That's a stretch unless the other two in the game played poorly.
He was solid, but if you'd told someone new there he was World Player of the Year they woulnd't believe you. Rieko, Telea, Clarke all looked really sharp

At the ground, and I haven't watched on TV yet (apart from finding myself and the wife in the crowd pics!), Sotutu was there pick of the games imo
