Foster apparently got a lot out of that. I can only assume he means a little bit of job security by not losing to Tonga
I liked his comments about playing the Islands though

@kirwan World Rugby need to change the eligibility rules and make these games more meaningful though.
I mean how cool would it have been to see a Tongan team with the likes of Fifita, Piatau and Fekitoa in it.
So much better than one-sided training runs that draw poor crowds.

Yeah I'm not sure they would have passed up a bit of extra dosh at their club to play for Tonga.

The post game stuff was probably the best part especially Dagg with the debutantes.

Will Jordan has 7 tries after 100 minutes of test rugby. Must be easily the fastest AB to 7 on a per minute basis.
Cully had 7 in his first two tests. Started both but can’t remember minute wise when he scored his seventh.

Okay, so to all the tossers, exactly what is poor about Bridges game stats???
The stats that aren’t there. Like being a winger that took nearly all game until he beat a man. Like being handed the ball 5 metres out from the line with one defender in front and failing to make 2 metres.

Scintillating
-
the metres for Coles doesn't seem enough?

Surely that will be enough evidence for NZR to extend Foster for another 6 years.
No doubt it will also be enough for Foster to keep picking Bridge in the starting side.I still think RIoane is wasted at 13. Him at 11 with Jordan at 14 would give us serious gas.
Liked what i saw from the loose forwards. So much depth there.

If RIoane is proactive and goes looking for work at 11 I'd agree. Thought he played ok in the midfield today but I guess not many questions were asked of him.
