Wow 41-0. Didn't see that coming. Even less so once i heard anout the weather. Even more less so after the first 10-15 mins. Thought it would be a 10-6 slug fest at that point. BB awesome. Would be happy with him starting for the ABs after seeing him control the game. Tjp was awesome again. Think he has played himself back into a full AB squad spot for the TRC. <br><br>
Thought the ref was fine. Didn't change the result. <br><br>
Much like the Brumbies last night who ran out of ideas once their lineout turned to shit nullifying their only attacking weapon the sharks looked a bit clueless when their kicking and pick and go didn't work. Only with 3mins to go down by 34 did they try to run it and it was pretty comical. -

<p>He seems to lack composure at times, it remains to be seen if he can get past it</p> -
yeah the 13 spot is still wide open IMO,<br><br>and Moala could be the bolter

<p>I couldn't agree more. He was always raw, but now he is still raw after a few years at Super and AB level.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember when he left the Blues with an attitude problem, JK was lambasted. Maybe he wasn't totally wrong after all.</p> -

<p>Considering he played for the ABs would he technically be a bolter?</p> -
<p>There's two issues with Fekitoa that the coaches need to rectify - when nothing is on he tries for the outside break and his ball security in the tackle must be the worst in New Zealand.</p>

<p>Well, he wasn't picked behind Ngatai, Crotty, Fekitoa and Tamanivalu, so I'd say getting a starting spot would constitute a semi-bolt</p> -
