I think there were more HB players in the MP team.

There must be an agreement not to tackle their provincial teammates. Refer to MMT's try.

Gilbert ... shot at higher honours?

I think he’s worked his way into that group of players that…if given the shot because of injury or whatever, wouldn’t let himself down, I hope that growth continues

Loves Groot, but think he could do with a few fitness sessions

He is becoming a monster. Dominant in the collisions and set-piece. Looks tailor-made for test rugby but yeah... it looks like needs to take ballet lessons or something for the quick pace of early rounds SR.

Was anyone else disappointed with PPP, he gave away a few real dumb penalties I thought!

Thr penalties were annoying. But, he was ammense around the park early on.

Dawai made 1 tackle missed 5
TUJ made 1 tackle missed 4

Not quite so bad for either in the end.

Dawai - 4, 5
TUJ - 3, 4

But Glibert made 2 and missed 4. Smith and Fakatava missed 7 tackles between them (3 and 4, respectively).

Agreed, I think his presence around the park was very welcome, I’ll take someone actively trying to impose themself of the game any day, he can work on the penalties

It's not like our top locks don't give away penalties either ...

@Nepia and they weren’t for late or high hits I don’t think (could be wrong)…generally offside or ruck penalties…ie wants the ball

Gilberts biggest chance would be as a bench replacement. Can play everywhere in the backline.
