@Bones to proctor is the best in SR ATM, not the one in Melbourne but international is different beast

Gotta start sometime. I'd have zero problem with Billy Proctor at 13 for ABs.

Me too, just that not every SR great player gets straight into the international grove

Like Laidlaw said post match, B Proctor makes players around him look better and is the first name on the team sheet for a reason. He’ll go bloody well for the ABs I reckon. Similar to Conrad Smith defensively but is harder to put down when he attacks.

Who wasn’t there last week against the Brums… it definitely showed.

One thing I've noticed

Caleb's defence seems much better that previous times I've seen him live

He uses his speed very well to cover

Clearly been an off season well spent focusing on balance issues.

He also looks fitter. Not as many glaring mistakes.

Rebels are a pretty well drilled side.

If I were Joe Schmidt I’d be seriously looking at Josh Canham for a call up. An athletic 6’8 that attacks lineout ball and has a big workrate. He’s still young but this boy looks to have a big future.

Proud of the boys. Gotta stick to our processes. Respect to the opposition, they're a great team, and played well.

Love the words from Cotter there.

Ofa is officially a donkey

Great hands telea. Tupou did very well to get in the region

[Old Samurai Jack]

What was Tupou doing there?

[Damo]

Nice try in the end. However I am still not convinced that not taking the 3 from in front was the right play. Up by one with a PK directly in front should take a shot I reckon.

[ACT Crusader]

Tupou ran from the far side of that ruck and made it to the wing.

[Bones]

Fuck yes Clarke! Through a tackle instead of falling over before it!

[Canes4life]

@Bones Clarke looks the goods this year.

[Bones]

Funaki is looking like what Fakatava promised to be.

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely centre play from Hoskins.

It's not THAT crazy to think he could cover midfield from the bench in a test match if you wanted to run a 6-2 split
