Put Dangunu or hopefully Vunivalu on the wing. The French outside backs have struggled with direct and straight running.

Eh, I can't say we were hard done by. Wright's dropped ball, that lineout on the 5m around the 65th mark, that scrum, little to no support play and giving away so many penalties were bigger impacts than the Ref's interpretation.

Those 5 points Korobeite scored are looking real handy hey Tom......

Why though. Bloke pushes passes like there's no tomorrow.

Why is To'omua back on?

Kerevi coming back on the inside would be lethal against this rush defence. Sigh.

Honestly, why are we acting surprised? The team we play the most at an international level are known for bending the rules at ruck time. If the Ref is going to be more lenient with his interpretation at ruck, don't whine, adapt and push the boundaries yourself.

That's two Queensland halfbacks that are better than Gordon now!

I don't think either bloke has played for a QPR team though.

Probably highlights the Wilson and Valentine combo is as athletic as we need.

How good are backs.............

Sure and I agree about a knee jerk response, which is why I would prefer the bloke who is coming back from a serious injury to be doing it from the bench.

Honestly, I think the fact we won is clouding the judgment of a lot of people. Imagine if Gordon played like that on a match deciding Bledisloe. There is absolutely no way in hell would anyone want him touching a gold jersey. Why shouldn't there be repercussions for not performing?

Bit disappointed to see that you can play as poorly as Gordon did and still retain a starting spot. I'd understand him starting if Tate didn't play well, but it was night and day between the two.

02 we came mighty close. Big Kev was the captain, also had Will's older brother and Geoff Abrahams aka Quade's laptop mate. From memory, all three made the Australia school boys team. Honestly, as a BBC old boy, nothing makes me smile more than jealousy from other schools!

If Banks can't execute one of his core skills while fresh in a low stakes game, what hope does he have to do it while fatigued and under pressure? I also wasn't happy that Hunter kicked, but we were chasing the game. Out of the '3' play makers; Gordon, Noah, and To'omua, Hunter's option taking...

Just like a Hooker who can't throw, Banks's inability to do a simple kick to find touch put us under immense pressure in the first half. Rennie and past coaches talk about doing the basic things right. Those type of mistakes have cost us tries against the All Blacks before. But yeah, we're...

Banks and To'omua would be a good starting spot. Wright didn't do much to inject himself into the game so I could see either Kellaway or Vunivalu going straight on the wing.

Noah is worth persisting with. He didn't do too much wrong and is still bloody young. The service he had both inside and outside of him was woeful. To'omua was largely non-existent and for the most experienced back in that team, I didn't see him guiding Noah around the pack. I'd have Tate and...

Core skills better? Based on what? Last night's performance? Gordon passed a try scoring run by Pasami forward. Gordon rolled the ball forward in a ruck. Gordon passed a right to left pass from to Noah as first reciever so much in front of Noah, he has to dive to catch it. Killing any...
