OOoooooooo I don't really want to ask this as I'm reasonably ignorant with front row goods and bads but are we over-egging the pudding saying how well our props went given the oppositions historic rubbishness at being a front row strength?
@nta will have a thing or two to say about that - the Wobs scrum isn't what it was; if they are poor, then so are all scrums in SRA

That would be you if other teams aimlessly kicked to yours.
Actually the ABs did a couple of times, but we don't have Caleb Clarke.
Teach Koroibete to catch
That was actually taken care of - had a shocker.

No.

@Machpants not to mention no arm tackles from both sides.

@akan004 ..lot of fun doing TDM .Rayasi was contracted to the Hurricanes, but did not get any game time ..would love to see the Blues pick him up especially if the Canes are not utilising him .

I think he has one year left on that deal? It's likely he'll want to go to the olympics (if they happen) so his time at the Canes may effectively be over.
Blues 2022 makes sense for him given his combinations with the Auckland guys -

Would he get a start on the wing at the Blues if Clarke and Telea are fit? Blues looking for a fullback?
-
I think he's better than Telea

Rayasi might want to go back home and end up with Wellington and the Hurricanes.
He could've done that already. Instead he's flown to Auckland during Canes seasons to play club rugby in Auckland.
That surprised me, I expected to move south when he first signed with the Canes a couple of years ago

Rayasi played in the Hurricanes' last SRA game against the Highlanders.

11 minutes off the bench.

Hodgman was the one that tackled an obstructing Oz player at one stage - it was the most glaring example of his engine not quite being there as he could've just run past him but it almost appeared he saw a chance to have a lie down. Watching him slowly roll and gesture to the ref was quite funny.
