    Lolesio too green to be critical, but Rennie needs some gold at 10. Simmons depowers OZ forwards - @NTA isn't there ANYONE else?

    🤔

    Harrison. Who is also 21.

    I was ambiguous. I meant alternative to Simmons at lock.

    Is Arnold's arm mended yet?

    Will have to watch again but thought Frizell was really good, as he was in Auckland.

    He was ridiculously busy, especially in the first half. Pretty low impact ball in hand but certainly didn't stop him doing it time and time again, which must have an influence on the opposition defence.

    I said it earlier, I thought he had a really strong game, him and Whitelock were the pick of the forwards for me. I do feel like this back row is a very tight one, no one shirks the hard stuff and they just get buried in everything. Great for wet weather matches. I think with Ardie a little looser, more turnovers and more on the wide channels. Both combinations great, love having all four players in the 23.

    Yes, he has a big workrate but I wonder what Tom Robinson could do at the highest level. His workrate is immense too and he is an excellent LO option, a pain in the neck on opposition's throws.

    Gotta agree. They complement and play off each other really well. Frizell may not knock people back like Sam Cane does but, jeez, he gives 100%.

    Yep and if Sotutu's game grows like it did in SRA (where at times his attacking play and stealing ability was like a man amongst boys) they could be excellent. Then bring on Ardie for any of them to finish the opposition off completely.

    Aaron Smith should walk away with NZ rugby player of the year.

    Thought coles was excellent too.

    Pity SA not in RC.

    All Blacks seriously need some succession planning at halfback. The gap between Aaron Smith and the rest is that big.

    Return to the status quo. Halfback has always been our weakest position historically.

    It's been a treat having a Rolls Royce halfback for the better part of a decade after always being outmatched.

    @rotated Yeah last HB this good was probably Bachop. The new Wallabies 9 looks to have potential.

    This, A Smith was excellent but when Smith is excellent you can almost guarantee the forwards were the reason. So props to the engine room.

    If someone just stitched together all the man love shown after scoring, and winning it would do very well on certain websites. 🤔
    I like seeing the raw emotion and how much it means, but after Rieko scores I think TJ jumps up into his arms with legs wrapped around, in isolation that is very strange from two adult men. But with sport it is completely normal. Funny how these things happen.

    @Bones some good stuff on IG, Jordan interviews Clarke who has glasses like Doc when he returns from the future and Clarke said he got them from the $2 shop to protect his eyes expecting spraying champagne about everywhere if we won.

    @taniwharugby Yeah the team culture looks strong, I haven't seen any footage from the Wallabies changing room but I suspect they were enforcing Covids 1.5m rules.

    Why were the forwards good? A good halfback can drive a forward pack.

    Like in Wellington?
    Smith like all HBs struggle with slow messy ball, if the forwards don't perform the HB often struggles. He was his normal excellent self because the forwards performed.
