@KiwiMurph it's not a serious question surely? Wobs won that in spite of Lolesio. He did bring a new string to his bow though - the ability to freely and easily give away penalties as well as crumble under the tiniest hint of pressure.
i didn;t actually watch much of the game but i thought id seen people raving about him...not so?

Wasn't the impression I got. I thought he gave away at least 3 dumb penalties. Maybe he played well when you compare to his usual standard.

glad we got that sorted

@Kiwiwomble 3 penalties and a YC. Kicked some goals for a change and made a decent amount of tackles, so maybe that combined with his 9m of running makes for a really good game.

@Bones im not arguing either way, that just the first critique ive seen, doesn't read well

I'm more than happy for them to continue with him. Brings a smile to my face to see he played really well.

which you can hardly blame him for
Interesting take!
Fingers crossed he's there for the RC.

Neat jersey.
agreed, its pretty sick
its funny the "new fans" coming on and raving about this brave new approach and thanking rennie from instigating it...no idea they've had variations on this jersey for years
I could be tempted to get an old school All Blacks jersey like that, especially if they put like the old Adidas logo to really go with the theme

I thought Lolesio had a bloody good game, I don't read stats just watch game, and he seemed to do everything I want a young 10 to do. Have been inpressed with him during super too.
I actually wonder if this was the breakout performance Rennie etc wanted, not saying he absolutely killed it, but looked for first time quite comfortable at this level, and thunk he will go forward with a lot more confidence going forward. -
If playing well is getting the ball to Kerevi, then he played well…
I reckon Lolesio still stands too deep which means he doesn’t put doubt into the defenders mind of being a running threat. You want a young 1st 5 to be a threat with ball in hand and they should be taking on the line or at the very least setting up to do so.

@KiwiMurph Kellaway is a gun player. Just does the right thing more often than not.
Jordie at fullback, that’s unexpected!

@KiwiMurph I would of had Perese at 13 instead of Paisami. He was one of the form backs in Super Rugby before getting injured.
