Akira did OK. He will be much better for the experience.
Like most of the team he had a below par game but has been outstanding all season. He'll be fine. As mentioned I strongly suspect that Jacobsen wasn't the only one spending time on the shitter this week.
I get like that with too much protein sometimes

@kirwan DH didn't have nearly as bad a game as you've been saying. As I said before, he was very good on defence. That's something QT still has to learn. QT should probably get more minutes though. Only got 9 today.
I wasn’t the only one saying it, but I guess they were all wrong too?

Each week one Ioane has to get opprobrium on here, it is TSF DNA. The keyboard warrior equivalent of Highlander.
Rieko doesn't get much does he? Playing him out of position does, and we'll it should.

What did he do OK?
Defended well, mauled well, was moving bodies at the ruck. All the tight stuff you don’t think he does.
Got close to turning poor ball into a try as well.
Yeah, in that second half especially he did a lot of that tight work that people complain he doesn't do, now they're complaining he dropped two balls.

There wasn't much hate for Blackadder last week, mostly just comments on his lack of accuracy despite how busy he was. He fused it together this week.

The dot down technique when he was winger comes to mind.

It’s pretty pathetic at times.
Certain posters ignore anything good they do and pounce on any mistakes.
Yet gloss over any mistakes their pet players make.

How the hell can you tell if he mauled well? I mean you can tell if he was particularly bad, granted, but beyond that?
Sorry when are you referring to with the try?
There was messy ball in the second half that he cleaned up, had a nice run that got to within a metre of the line.
As for the maul, watch his body position and what happens when he joins. His power gets the thing moving, and he defends it well too, some of his Blues play is defending mauls.
Ah yes remember that.
I'll watch out for that, thanks.

@delicatessen He's played against the Lions twice, and done well each time.

When ALB is injured who should we play at centre instead?

😄 Yes well when it cost him a try we suddenly shat the bed. Hasn't got much recently. Funnily enough he's been playing brilliantly recently.

To be fair you were pretty hard on Blackadder last week and you are pretty gentle on Akira. Not a fault, we all have our faves...

I don't think I'm arguing his capability as a backup centre. But Tupaea looked good with Havili tonight. Beyond that we're lacking in depth big time.

World Rugby really needs to look at these continuing stoppages, you get penalised for a delayed put in at the scrum time so why not delaying walking to a lineout..?

I can see how people prefer him at 11. The thing is we don't have many 13s and he does have potential and pace there (and can pass ok on occasion) and he is still young.
I'm a Goodhue as 13 fan but I don't have high hopes he will recapture his form (played at 12, injuries), and we have to have backup for ALB.
