I think every AB has beaten a player except Bridge....
He beat himself for the first.

@crazy-horse Bridge has been fine tonight, hasn’t done anything wrong and a lot of things well.
Dropped passes, bombed two or three trys by just not doing the basics. Can’t beat a man in a game like this is very poor
That is being fine and doing a lot of thing well... for Bridge

No matter the score in a game like this, can't really take anything from it, good or bad.
You saw the ABs intensity dropped about 20 mins which causes those micro second delays in decision making and then accuracy drops.

@stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.
And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.
Fozzie can't risk doing that, remember how much shit Hansen copped in 2015 when they did that.

Play one guy goalie, has to stay under the posts, practise playing as 14

He tidied up some ball, passed well occasionally, had ok ball security, has a good workrate. But we won't get many trys from his side and he shouldn't play against the top teams. Am wondering who should be our top 11s.. Big Leicester would have at least one try already IMO.

It's only the press and public opinion, NZR board do things their own way - that's all he cares about

He knocked on 5m out from the ABs try line.
