Hell of an effort from Vaa'i to go 80, but the only time I've "seen" him is when he's dotting down. Struggling with if that's a good thing or not.
He's not much of a presence eh.
Can't say I've noticed him carrying much. Seems to be used as support.

Is sotutu hurt?
Yeah looked like he stayed down eh.
Tupaea is gassed. Get him off.
I thought he had a great game today
Tupaea? Yeah great game for a kid in midfield. But he's absolutely spent now and that's where all the holes are (before the pen he only nearly got the spilled ball because he was too exhausted to track back). Test rugby is a bit tougher eh...
Yep, agree, looks to have real class though. And he's spent because he's worked really hard, some of his clean outs in the first half were great. And he hasn't stopped trying
I wasn't having a go at him bro, I was saying yank him because he's got no more.

The Last 25-30 minutes have been pretty painful to watch
Not uncommon in second halves vs Argie when the score gets one sided.

Oh I know, I got your point, I agree!

He's been in the thick of it doing a lot of the unseen grunt work.

I've never heard Christie speak. But if I did, I'd be staggered if he didn't have an Irish accent.
He's Scottish isn't he? Terrible poach if so.

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.How old is Christie? He's crap, not going
He's only there because Fakatava is broken.
And not a Kiwi
Regardless, he wouldn't have been there if Fakatava wasn't out injured.
Plus, Christie is only slightly more a Kiwi.

Good win, now let’s show the Boks who’s the real no 1.

8 tackles made, none missed
Third highest run getter of the forwards (39) off 9 runs, with 7 passes as well, and 2 defenders beaten (1 clean break).
He’s been doing pretty well I thought (without being a BBBR or Whitelock).
