Really think the ABs have missed a trick not developing Akira Ioane at 6. His raw power would trouble both these teams.
TSF this Super season is gonna have a field day at 6.
Nearly as many contenders as the Melbourne Cup
In no order Akira/Ethan B/Frizell/MMT/Flanders/Jacobson/Finau/Lio-Willie/Suafoa/Rush etc etc

And God knows where Sam Cane is gonna fit into that
Mix. -

I'd be really worried about facing these two teams with an AB 2021 vintage, but the last 3-4 AB games have me thinking we can beat these two teams.
Maybe not on consecutive WE's and we still have some fragility, but so do the teams today - esp. France.

TBF, he's had the chances in the last 18 months and is still in the mix. He hasn't been thrown on the scrapheap a la Hansen.

He has done his best in a 2015 team pattern.......

That went well.

@KiwiMurph hah yeah just came to post this.

That first Irish try was a nice piece of analysis and execution. France hopelessly exposed on the fringes of the ruck.
France will want to improve considerably to win at home in a few months.
It's unfathomable how someone with as much experience as Barnes can be so poor and inconsistent.

What are peoples thoughts on players going for low percentage push overs leading to a goal line drop out. I guess the hard thing is knowing if it is low percentage at the time and to their credit Ireland did score from in close but how many times where they held up? Sometimes I'm yelling don't go for the try too many bodies, but I guess its just part of the game now.

@sparky if he stays fit Blackadder will bolt into the 6 jersey. All the power but 3 times the work rate.
Exhibit A haha.

France went to pieces under pressure. 1st half was even, second half was even worse.
After Italy last week, have to wonder if France is as good as
wethey think they are.?
