    Retallick's best game in years. Body position much lower, getting through the line instead of being driven back.

    Nisbett got Ioane and Savea confused at least six times.

    Nisbett wasn’t alone. The Aussie commentators got them mixed up also.

    How could they, Ardie is at least 5 or 6 inches taller than Akira.

    @Tim I'm wondering if he's put a bit more bulk on after his time away. He's always been a bit heavier than Whitelock but seemed leaner when he first got back from his stint in Japan. I'm stoked he's getting into some form, he's only 31 and even with the demands of the modern game that's middle aged for a tight forward.

    You've been super judgemental but he's actually had a good international season. We, right now, have a very good 3 lock attack
    Just keep one out of the 6 shirt

    Did the Aussies make meters up fat man's ally? Did they destroy our maul? Did they gain the advantage on the blindside? All nopes? I think Akira had a great game.

    Stuff has a different view

    Akira Ioane: Didn’t do much to solve any No 6 questions. Aside from a ripped ball near his own line, nothing much to catch the eye apart from showing his skills with a deft left-foot kick and speedy chase. Replaced in the 70th minute. 5.5

    Just a poor take.

    He defended well, used his bulk to move bodies, this fabled thing about him not using his shoulder is simply untrue. Several examples in this game alone.

    Played tight like many have been asked him to show he can and did it well. Was throwing players back in gang tackles like a beast. Was fun to watch.

    He’s particularly strong in the maul too.

    One opportunity out wide and showed good skill to earn the team a 5m scrum. Rest of the time he did what he said he’d do the press conference, the dirty work so Ardie could run out on the wing.

    I didn’t see his game that way IMO he’s not the answer at 6

    Akira Ioane's try saving tackle on Wilson at 30:35 was brilliant. Wilson had great low body position and pace, and Ioane had to get super low and turn him back from the line in the tackle.

    Then a ball at 33. When Australia was hot on attack there was some defensive heat.

    Taylor lost three or four lineouts in the first half. There is no way he can be a starting option again.

    At 36:45 Ioane took the ball forward and there were no supporting players. They were all watching the previous ruck. I thought that he had gotten isolated, but he just had no reasonable level of support. We should have scored there.

    Caleb Clarke under the high ball and on kick offs was absolutely faultless. Shame on anyone who tried to bag him.

    Wallabies without their best 3 players are no good. Should have dropped 60 on that mess. Poor Rennie.

    Thought Lomax was the pick of the forwards an excellent display at TH. All the pack was good, except Ioane who was fairly anonymous. Daltons best game in black.

    Best back was j Barrett. Excellent display at 12. With B barret and Jordan at the back plus rieko, heaps of pace.

    Worst thing was the kiwis on Stan. Mehrts has become a whining Aussie with a kiwi accent. SBW sounds like a guy who left school aged 15 « yeah, lads, we’re seeing some kicking and passing out there ».

    Foster said they've been working on JB to 12 in behind the scenes 🤣

    Oh Foster you really are a muppet.

    Whats wrong with saying they been working a while? Genuine question.

    Do you believe its true? If Havili was cleared to play would JB have started at 12? Foster has never even moved JB to 12 during a match let alone started him there

    You’re reading too much into a comment in your glee of having Jordie doing well.
    It worked tonight and I hope it continues. He’s a much better option than Havili I will admit but he’s no “classic “ 12
    Tonight was a game that was made for him to get stuck into and he was very good in getting going and involved.
    I hope he can do as well against the sides ranked higher than 9th and I don’t mean that in a snide way, I do hope he can.

    When did we last have a classic 12? Nonu wasn't...

    Jordie’s only keeping the seat warm until Fozzie and co realise that Ardie is the answer at 2nd 5.

    Jerry Collins played 12 for his club side.

    What a pleasure and a surprise it was to watch JB at 12. Have missed the bulk and the security of a big boot there. Every time he touched the ball he made meters. Not afraid to cart it up either. With Whitelock and BBBR rolling back the clock also. The tight five got through a shedload of work and mowed over their counterparts. Very satisfying. Now keep JB at 12 please.

    He only said they been working behind the scenes, when JB moved to 12 last week things looked ok, so wouldn't be surprised if they had dome a little.
    I will add JB went bloody well, but one test doesn't make him a fixture just yet.

    Best I’ve seen our back line play in a long time.

    I really like Ioane at center. Makes a few errors but makes more plays. If can temper the errors will be awesome.

    Disappointed in Akira, game was quite open he should have been more prominent.

    We look terrible when we're indecisive.

    That's the kind of insight we expect on this site. 🙂
