Couldn't agree more. He's always been a handy test player rather than a game breaker . He never really makes an impact off the bench either.
Never really makes an impact, come on bro, surely you watched the RWC QF against Ireland. His impact late in the game was massive.
Some fun facts also, in the 33 tests he has come off the bench the ABs are
Wins - 26
Draws - 3
Losses - 4 -
@ACT-Crusader Top work there!

Losses - 4Many bench appearances in 2020s, during which AB win performance c. 71%. Excluding gimmes falls to 63.4%, if my figures correct.

Rewatched Q3. Excellent try at beginning of half. Seven replacements 51 - 54.
Papali'i a tackling machine -- at one stage three in a minute!
Noticeable that ABs after try became sloppy. Five or so errors which kept dissapating pressure over course of rest of quarter.

Q4.
ABs should be shot for not scoring from 5m out at 69.
First a smart arsed short throw, and then backs couldn鈥檛 manage draw and pass to go over. Ended up with Pumas scoring at other end near sticks.
My other takeaway was BB at 10 and WJ at 15 made mainly poor decisions. Big step down from DMac/BB.
