TJP went well today. More influential than Roigard.
Proctor had a great match.

Jeez I dunno about that. TJ blew a clear try with a no-look pass and made several other mistakes. Roigard looks short of a run unsurprisingly, so not the highest bar - but still.

Best player on the field for me was Higgins, then Aumua. That try they put together he almost had a bit of Tim Horan about him.
But fuck me I'm sick of these rolling subs. Higgins once subbed should stay off the field.Agree, Higgins is by far the biggest attacking threat of any centre in NZ right now, his footwork and offloading ability is out the gate. He’ll need to improve alot on defence though.

Him and Lakai are probably to the two biggest talents to come out of Welly school rugby in the last ten or so years, so glad they’ve both made the AB XV, hopefully they get plenty of opportunity on that tour. Both of them are still so young so it’s scary to think how good they could be.

@MiketheSnow better forward platform?

Quite possibly
But what you want to see from your 'Dupont Killer' is the ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck even when on the back foot
If he can't do it at NPC level then it's unlikely it's going to happen in the Test arena

Lol he's just come back from a serious knee injury, give him at least a couple more games to find his feet again. Roigard wasn't as influential as he was last week but he wasn't bad at all, up against a fairly stacked Wellington side.

The way he's been bigged up I was expecting him to walk on water

He played about 5-10 mins right at the end of the game. I reckon he would go well at 10 if he wanted to play there, definitely has all the skills, just needs time in that position.
