@Tim TBF, him along with most of the Drua were looking behind where Dalton was
More to the point, watch where Renata was in that maul. The refs pick and choose when they penalise lifters being in front of the jumper when the maul forms.

Akira Ioane's calf tightened up. Tuipulotu needs to be evaluated tomorrow. Darry and McWhannell should be available. Heem might be available too.
We miss Heem's direct lines.
I thought lam was bloody strong, some great tackles and busts

Agreed. Forgot to comment on it last night but he was responsible for snuffing out a lot of attacks.

@Machpants Is he a potential AB bolter somewhere down the line with his ability to play both wings, centre and 12?
I mean, it's unlikely, but last year's mob picked Dallas McLeod in that role to start the season and no disrespect to McLeod, but AJ Lam is twice the player he is.

Was impressed with us last night. Obviously we've had better performances, but the Drua put us under a bit of pressure in the 2nd half and I thought we handled it very well.

@Kirwan Helps that he's been given a regular go at 10 for the first time in his career. He got unfairly written off after his rookie season.

Plummer’s control from ten was incredible, wouldn’t look out of place at Test level
Clearly at least the number 2 number 10 playing in NZ. I will be very disappointed in the new selectors if he misses out on a spot.

I noticed the Blues pack was close to 950kgs on the weekend. Jeez that's heavy. It doesn't seem that long ago we were getting g excited about 900kgs. I wonder how long until packs are regularly 1000kgs?

The improvement in his field kicking this season is quite something. If I had to guess I would say O'Halloran has had some involvement there.
-
@Crazy-Horse The Boks will give it a good go.

Yeah that's with Beehre and Riccitelli too...

Yeah I thought that too. They could have easily been heavier.
