I don't think Hansen learnt too much watching that, flush it down the dunny

@nta

I reckon you’ll break the duck tomorrow.

So - if the choice is between Milner-Skudder and Lam for the fifth outside back slot
(after Rieko, BFA, Jordie and Waisake) - who's it to be?

...too far.

Ben Lam before Waisake for me

Chris B.

@infidel That's an option as well and if Ben is to make it, that might have to be his route.

Those two offer similar things.

I doubt that’s in Hansen and co’s thinking. If Naholo even has one good hamstring they select him...

Naholo is a certainty IMO.

Lam might get an opportunity in the June series to prove himself to see if he makes it for the 4Ns

Just watching the replay. My favourite bit of that early blam try is Hansen's dedication to the nose rub.

Bones

Wow. Shocking not straight and shocking forward pass for the last reds try. Oh dear Ben.

@dingo he has attempted to take the ball, so he is deemed to either have the ball or not....if not then YC, if so then legitimate tackle, you can't call him as being tackled without the ball the...same as when you get passed the ball and fumble it but a tackle prevents you regathering....no penalty there either

Bones

I wouldn't be upset if Louis was an AB bolter...

I would prefer they tried him before bringing Pat T back in.

I hope they they aren't thinking of playing Fifita as a lock. He has too much Isaac Ross about him for my liking.

Havent read the thread. Anyone else think Proctor looks fucking average without Laumape?

I think he looks average every game, never been too excited about him to be honest. Would much rather see Aso there, when fit.

Pretty sure we've seen that one before. Isn't it called "opposition score loads if tries"?

Aso is an exciting runner but his defensive lapses when he plays in midfield would be unacceptable at the international level.

@pukunui I would prefer Lousi to PT at the moment. He has made some pretty impressive strides since the days of the Tahs. Would add some needed starch to the AB pack compared to Barret.
