Rieko again has been poor, even in a team performance this dominant. While Jordie has stepped up.

Billy Proctor is surely our best option at 13 now.

100%

[chimoaus]

Credit to TV, has stepped up tonight.

Sad we can't keep up the intensity, this half had been crap

Which happens in 99% of non minnow games when the score is a blow-out at halftime

[Donsteppa]

At least the scrum has stayed dominant

Disagree rieko has been poor - he's been solid.

However - would bring in Proctor sooner rather than later - he has a higher ceiling

Has he though?

Barely been a threat on offense, and had some very poor passes when we had opportunities on.

Also looks much worse when the people around him have all stepped up several notches.

And we haven't be dumb or ragged, just less intense.

Come on guys….

Not once props have changed, it hasn't. Been the better but not dominant anymore

I was really hoping for 70+ … mainly being greedy after last week

Pop Ioane on the wing, he’s still a bloody good rugby player.

The starting pack started very well indeed this evening.

[Donsteppa]

Lousy lineout option

[Machpants]

Ofa it's a donkey

[Mattasaurus]

that lineout option was a waste of good ball

[sparky]

ABs' tackling still at 93% which is excellent.

I wonder if it was coached.

[KiwiMurph]

Hate when Rieko runs that short line

Drops the ball way too often in that scenario

[sparky]

Reiko and Telea looking a bit off it.

[Machpants]

The last ruck was so illegal, but good try

[Stag]

40 good minutes and then straight back to last weeks bollocks for the second half, driven by extremely poor decision making and implemtation.
