That first Counties try was a thing of beauty
How Razor can’t find a place for DP baffles me
Roigard looked sharp. His double step offs for his long range try showed he’s fit

I agree
The only explanation is that he didn’t play alongside his old man
-
At the moment Paps, Sititi and Savea looks an option.
I'll be disappointed if they don't give JB-Proctor-Ioane a run (12-13-14). They need to try various options. -

@Landers92 Have you got the Hollandaise Sauce?
Haha not bad from you.
Got tagged above earlier too for any other squad chat but haven’t heard a lot so far. Things seem tight lipped this far which leads me to believe there won’t be a lot/if any changes other than Roigard added.
Only thing I have been told is not to expect all 3 of Plummer, Perofeta and Love. Its expected only 2 of them will be named in the AB squad with the 1 missing out to be in the AB XV.
LIFO?

Some great sleight of hand in the pass to him from Hoss.

I think Dalton does offer skills and power in attack ( especially at 6 4 and 113kg or whatever the official stats are ) but for whatever reason he hasn’t shown much at the highest level. Anyone care to guess why ?

Have to say I’m gutted to find out the province Holland was born in was not Zeeland (it was Noord-Holland).

Can't wait for Holland to get into the ABs so I can make some Dutch Oven references.
If razor doesn’t select him it’ll be a clear cut case of tall poppy syndrome.

Speaking of double dutch how big is his younger brother Quentin who apparently is a well built lock/6 himself?

Yeah I suppose promoting him straight to the ABs would require Dutch courage.

I've compiled these stats from the following source (https://www.espn.com/rugby/scoreboard/_/league/242041)
This was following a discussion in another thread regarding Perofeta/Plummer.
Just some stats (yes they don't tell you the full picture etc etc) covering Dmac/Plummer/Perofeta and their super rugby season. (only using Perofetas games at 10)
Try assists per game
Dmac - 0.375
Perofeta - 0.33
Plummer - 0.27Metres made per carry
Dmac - 6.1
Perofeta - 6.1
Plummer - 4.5Linebreaks made per carry
Perofeta - 0.11
Dmac - 0.07
Plummer - 0.03Defenders beaten per carry
Dmac - 0.36
Perofeta - 0.26
Plummer - 0.19Tackle %
Plummer - 85%
Perofeta - 83%
Dmac - 75%Turnovers conceded per game
Perofeta - 1.5
Plummer - 1.2
Dmac - 1.06Kick %
Dmac - 85%
Plummer - 74%
Perofeta - 66%According to this (caveat that these are assumptions based on the statistics provided and do not guarantee anything)..
Dmac is the best ball in hand with defenders beaten, creates the most for others, is the best kicker by quite a margin, and actually makes the least mistakes (turnovers) per game. He's also the worst tackler (not a horrible tackler but the worst out of the 3, pretty much average tackling percentage per NZ 10s this season).
Perofeta is the worst kicker by far, makes the most mistakes (turnovers), decent tackler, but also very good ball in hand and the most effective at creating linebreaks.
Plummer is the worst ball in hand by quite a margin, creates the least, is the best tackler, is a worse kicker and makes more mistakes than Dmac but is a better kicker and makes less mistakes than Perofeta.
Perofeta/Plummer have the top tackling percentage per NZ 10s this season.
This may be useless to people, stats miss many intangibles on the field etc. Just thought some of the data points would be interesting for some.

He’ll be fabian in the XV.
If razor needs to borrow him for the ABs will he tell Clayton to pass the dutchie?
