Who would've have though vaii would be top 8 games in
He had a good Super season, who’d think picking form players pays off?
-
Vaa'i, Ioane and Sititi.
Honourable mentions to Clarke (YC aside), Ratima and Jordan who went much better at fullback this week.
-
Vaa'i is just achieving. He's trusted with the important lineout takes. He's putting heat on opposition ball. His ruck work is excellent. He's not overly physical at the moment but he's accurate. Scrum looks good too. I'm very impressed.
Sititi had a massive game today, busy and effective. Huge find.
Loved Ratima's game, and Ioane was bloody good.
-
Sititi, Ratima, Vaai.
Honourable mention to Cane

Vaai and Clarke seem classic examples of players the coaches seem something in and develop over a season or two.

Or...guys who weren't ready and hitting form in super rugby has allowed them to carry that through.

Clarke was great every time he got the ball, improved so much since his debut. YC a big black blot this match, unfortunately
Yeah I thought he played well until the superb dumb YC. I couldn't vote for him after that brain explosion.

I can. If a saffa wing did that it would just be a penalty.

Maybe. But perhaps managing the step-up is just as important. Darry looks a real find and Sititi looks born to Test rugby, but managing them is key.

Sititi , Vaai, Ratima

You mean, the guys selected on form in super rugby? Sneaky sneaky.

but he's accurate
Not something you can say for most of the team so that's MOTMing!

Ratima was outstanding. Has some real sting in his tackles as well which is a nice bonus. Nice that we don't have to settle for the ginger abomination any more.
