@BerniesCorner I understand your appreciation Laumape but i I think he’s a one trick pony. If he diversifies his game he might be something to reckon with.
He was dropping goals and doing kick passes in the warm up

@sparky Could easily be the next Nonu and end his career at 12.
Dear Caleb
If you stumble across the Fern in your google search, and read this, no pressure aye bro...😎
You’ve played 80 minutes of test rugby over the past two weeks and made an awesome start to your career. One test at a time. Your old man was a hell of a player, but he knows the ups and downs of form and selection so don’t worry about being the next Lomu, Nonu or Eroni, keep doing your thing young fella. Keep working hard and that will put the pressure on the selectors to keep selecting you. The rest will take care of itself

@Machpants exactly

I wasn't totally convinced but much improved from the team today. We seemed a bit out of control on attack in the first half and a bit too passive in our tackling as well. But we grew into the game and a number of players performed individually strong. It all clicked in the second half and the aussies frayed as the game went on. Much needed win but plenty to work on as they say

@Kirwan Not convinced yet. Looked like a reversion to type to me. I knew we would lose, but i was keen to see the DR tactics which we used to good effect employed again. But we just dropped all the good stuff from our game like the sniping at the base and intelligent out of hand kicking and threw in even worse stuff like throwing hail mary out the back pop passes and aimless kicking to the most dangerous players in the field.
Oh and trying to exit our 22 right after the half time restart by spinning it wide. It all felt very Michael Cheika.

My mind was blown at that point - low percentage rugby executed well keeps you in games.

@Derpus we missed more than 20 too...86% vs 73%
we made as many as you attempted

@nzzp high percentage you mean? like, i dunno, a clearance kick? ugh. Not impressed at all.
Kicking? From inside your 22? FFS matey, get with the modern programme.
And yes, HIGH percentage. Just watchign bathurst with a few beers. Don't judge. @broughie and I are PUI?
