@chimoaus Yep. Him at 13 and Rieko at 11 would have been nice.
With the performance of Havili tonight, we might need ALB at 12.
I think we looked off in so many areas that few came out looking good
ALB and RI would be a tasty combination. Jordan and Reece on the wings.
QT on the bench to win last minute games.

For all the shit Patrick got this week , he was great today. Very physical
A fair few pointed out that he often does well of the bench. Just don't ever start him, still hasn't got the engine at international level

What really gaps my axe is that the first 11 points for the Bokke were gifts through brain farts. Piggybacking penalties downfield, incredibly poor skills, and shit decisions. And yet that's almost enough to win a game of footy.
Take that away, and they have absolutely nothing. A push on the 9, and something else - a scrum penalty?
Next week, more accuracy, different ref, its' on like kong.
How many box kick bombs were there? Must have been close to some kind of Guiness Book of Records effort.

I think the one player whose stock went up the most with me was Blackadder. I already had Jordie as the first place 15. I hope the coaches will also start to question their assumptions about some of the 'strengths' of certain players (i.e., Bridge). We also need to start working on bringing through some young props.

Did anyone notice Karl when he came on?

They constructed nothing offensively
Their stoppages were offensive.

But he was at 7. Are you tempted to replace Akira with him, bring on Paps and rest Ardie? Don't think they will rest or bench Ardie due to captaincy.

Both Tuungufasi in and Moody were well underdone. Ideally, both would have had much more minutes before playing this kind of game.
Oafs worst game I think, and Moody was shit too.
Maybe both short of game time .

Ofa has brain farts all through his AB career. A pity, because he is massive.

Would have been a perfect game for Dalton and Luke.
I’d go Akira, Luke and Ardie at seven, with Dalton on the bench.

I'd like to see Weber and Mo'unga in the halves, Havili and ALB in the midfield, with Rieko, Reece/Jordan and Jordie back 3 for the next game, but it's probably too soon for RM and ALB's injury is a question mark. They may prefer to give him more time to heal. In that case, Rieko at centre, and Reece and Jordan on the wings.
