@pakman Haven't you been watching Super rugby?
Nothing wrong with the question from @pakman Havili's had some problems on defence. He missed five tackles against the Brumbies for instance
Not a big deal, he's still in the early stages of learning the position
Both Havili and Tupaea have had some issues this year. I think it was Ioane who made Tupaea his bitch when we played the Blues.
I think that might have been last year? Tupaea exposed Plummer badly in Hamilton. The Chiefs should've got more points with the space that created. But that's just another example of how hard the position is on defence

Yep, you've got a better memory than me, it was in the first game of last season when Tupaea was at 13 and missed 4 tackles. He and Nankivell had a mare on defence that night (he also had 4 misses). Tupaea ran well though.
At least I didn't dream up my post above, I was starting to get really worried that I had gone right around the bend.

Two of the best players in Europe on the Fiji team.
Botia has been a try scoring machine for Rochelle for a long time now.

I was on the Leone and Nadolo, so yeah maybe 3!

'I was warned': How Beauden Barrett earned himself two black eyes
One of the more unusual sights to emerge out of All Blacks training this week was first five-eighth Beauden Barrett sporting two rather sizeable black eyes.

“I’ve seen Finlay Christie get smacked out of a ruck and do a somersault and I chuckled and said ‘welcome back Brodie’ and that was a non-contact session,” Foster said last week. “That means that Brodie is back, doesn’t it?”

Looks like another really poor crowd. This can not be a good sign for NZ rugby
I understand it's not a tier one edge of the seat thriller, but this is poor.
