Impressive live.
Got some speed too.
Not impressed with brainfart when he laid out Lynagh. Cut that out.
But otherwise he'll to the yeah.
whatever. let the 10 know you're there. it was a fraction late, nothing in it. The cries for blood from softcocks on line make me laugh

I agree. A heartbeat in it. And if you're going to run to the line with the ball, expect to get tackled.

Disagree. It was unnecessary and dumb. Good form on the actual tackle though. Ironically it took Lynagh out of the game and the reserve 10 was instrumental in Reds winning the game.

that's two 10s he's taken out in 3 weeks

I kind of laughed, remember being at Athletic Park in mid 70s, Auckland challenging Wellington for shield. First play that Wellington had the ball on attack, Thorn (I think, Auckland flanker) did similar hit, maybe even later lol, on John Dougan and although it cost Auckland 3 points for rest of game Dougan was a nervous wreck and Aucks won shield.

It was one step. Take away the microphone and they'd be nervously tittering behind their handkerchiefs. The moral outrage was because Finau munted him. Had it been a normal tackle, nothing would've been said.

It was barely legal and don't like the idea of putting himself at risk of being officiated out of the game.

I thought it was just the kind of grubby we are looking for in an AB 6 - it was late but was not high and he folded him like a load of washing. I like the idea of the opposition backs having that in their minds.
"get your first hit in early, even if it's late" kind of stuff?

This guy sounds like the next Jerry Collin’s/Jerome Kaino.
No Ethan Blackadder obviously but he might get a bit of game time this year.
Honest truth, I think Segner is probably in Balckadder mold, can play 6-7-7 all pretty well and hell of a workrate!

Segner actually makes it on to the field.
I still wouldn't pick em, but.

I'm not confident Segner is big enough for Test rugby. He was probably the Blues' best loose over the weekend, mind you.
Finau is definitely big enough but he's not the most involved player. It's great when he puts in a couple of clattering hits or makes some nice ground on the outside, but he'd need two very hard-working loosies to complement him.

Regardless of his ability, some random
German guy who decides to try his hand at rugby and makes the ABs would be a cool story. Not to mention all the Panzer brigade references etc. -

Well our loosies had good practice doing that at the business end of the season with the useless Tongan piece of shit.
Edit: I think Segner is looking bigger this year, he's filled out a bit.

I thought it was really late and pretty obvious, still a bloody good tackle though.
Like his attitude and work rate and totally agree he needs to be in Black.
