Akira did OK. He will be much better for the experience.
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.
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.

Where's all the love for Akira gone? And the hate for Blackadder?
The fern is fickle
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.
When ALB is injured who should we play at centre instead?

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.
So just like you and any other Ferner?

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

Some are more oblivious to their faults than others.

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. -

@kirwan It sounds like you're talking about yourself ...
No, I’m talking about you in particular.
Top Crusaders fluffer. It’s tiresome.

Akira worst game this year. Only about 10 quality minutes.
So many players choked. Havili awful. Perenara and BB terrible. Retallick penalties early. Savea missing.
BB didn't run on to the ball ever. Injured?
I expect a brutal debrief and a better performance by us next game
The thing is, they have halftime to change the gameplan if they can't do it on the field, I worry this coaching team is very slow to react and choose plan B.
Yup. Just like 2019.
And others

@steven-harris Yep, it's really annoying to watch that negative play. It's just as bad as watching football players faking injuries.

And as I said last week, when did our standards drop so far that that many missed tackles and penalties gets a pass?
If he did that this week that’s a loss.
