@kirwan He does look a little more trim. Big chest though.

Yeah his upper body looks bigger

[sparky]

Christie and Blackadder not good enough. Decent Super Rugby players, but not Test match animals.

[Tim]

@nepia He'll be a good player for Tonga.

[Frank]

Codie Taylor seems a step down from Taukei'aho.

[canefan]

Sloppy

[Chris]

Classic Bridge being the only breather that missed a tackle

After Ennor missed the same guy you mean?

Have a look again it was Bridge who missed him,Ennor tidied it up.

Have a look again, Ennor missed him causing Bridge to miss him. Then Ennor tidied up.

Ennor made the hit and was on the ground through making the tackle when Bridge missed the tackle.Then got of the ground to make the cover tackle.
I just replayed it.

[Victor Meldrew]

WTF was that from Christie at he lineout?

[sparky]

AB Forwards have done well in this test. The backline has been poor.

[antipodean]

FFS Beaudy what was that?

We seem utterly incapable of getting into their half.

Just as I typed that...

[Machpants]

We do not deserved that try

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Don't do that Vaai. Twunt

[Kirwan]

Backline lost all punch when RI went off.

[Tim]

That was fucking awful from Barrett.

I think both need time.

Christie is 4th-ranked HB (probably 5th after Fakatava) and Blackadder is a bench player so we’re unlikely to see much of the first, and a bit of the other.

[canefan]

Nice try. Forward skills on display

[Stargazer]

Geez, Christie and Blackadder are rookies. Some are writing them off way too early. Let them learn in games like these.
Blackadder has done many good things in this game, too.

I paid 200 bucks for that?

Possibly, if he has to have the extra extra stand down.

[chimoaus]

They make it look easy when they hold onto it.
