Far out Genge is soooo tough.

Stuart Barnes has written a eulogy on how TKB’s fizzing pass and Ihaia West’s gain lane attack has set European Rugby alive at La Rochelle.

Was TKB previously known for his passing?

I recall he used to be able to throw some very wide cut out passes, usually in general play rather than general halfback play. None of the Smith precision bullets though.

@bones

So far Fakatava reminds me more of TKB than Smith, he' s reasonable passer, can throw a grater skip pass, and is really good over the ball and on defense around the ruck.

Maybe no SAFAs...

It's a pretty cool period of play, which in a nutshell is a series of errors by teams with terrible finishing abilities, but half to half running play for a good 3 minutes or so. Sale versing Gloucester.

[Machpants]

@bones Sale versus Gloucester

[Bones]

@machpants no it was on the TB.
