I was expecting more cunning ploys from ultra fox Eddie, then I thought he must be keeping his RWC powder dry, then I saw his face in the coaches box... he's not that good an actor is he?
If the answer is Will Skelton the question must be a big slow forward with a lack of athleticism. Eddie is clutching at straws.
Yes Will is even more of a lumberer than before. But Eddie always liked physical dimensions. Over skill, even.

Papali’i 21 tackles no misses. More than the 3 other loosies combined
Lol he was awful. Zero impact at the ruck. No carry. No solid hits.
We missed Cane
Cane looked a bit off the boil last year, but one thing he never lost was defensive starch.
He stops guys dead in their tracks.
Now that his body has had the opportunity to heal, he's playing vintage rugby again. Should be the first name down on the sheet.

That starch matters at test level. DP needs to find that.

He did play the 4 subs at once move. Didn't quite work out.

is that the first AB game in a while that the bench actually made good impact? Could have gone on even earlier.

Roigard and DMac on the bench. It's not rocket science.

Roigard with the Trophy. That's nice.
Isn't that tradition? The most junior player has to carry it.
I knew they had to carry it, but he actually let him be first to lift it.
