Horne blowing another try :rolleyes:

Scott Michael Fardy with the turnover again

Tahs defending for extended periods. Let's see if Hooper can get some pilfers ala Captain Fantastic Hodgo. #blueblood

Anyone got any info on Rodney Iona?

He's off in Clermont now isn't he

Nafi Tuitavake and Johnny McNicholl - have either of them even made a tackle at this level?

Skelton played 56 minutes in his debut, while in comparison, Palu - generally considered the MOTM - played 63 minutes. You can't have a team of workmanlike players or a team of high impact players. Skelton will naturally slim down with age, and his fitness will improve, but why make him into...

Yeah. Nah.

Taulagi let in more people than a turnstile.

DEBRECZENI. DAT HOWITZER BOOT THO

Beat me by a minute ;)

Gee......... Lord doesn't rate Holmes highly enough to start him over a makeshift prop-cum-hooker Murphy who struggles with lineout throwing, if the Club 10s was anything to go by. Good to see Benny Alexander recovered from his neck injury. His battle with the other Ben will be intriguing...

A practically identical French team played New Zealand last year in a June tour. The biggest winning margin for the All Blacks was 30 points (30-0). Could argue that the All Blacks were playing much better last year than this year, too. But to say that they are so good that they would put 70...

What does the team lineup look like? The bolded are contentious, but could we perhaps see: Cowan, Charles, Longbottom, Wykes, Steenkamp, Stander, Hodgo, McCalman, Mathewson, Ebersohn, Cummins, Tuatara-Morrison, Rasolea/Brache, DHP, Hayward. With a bench of Tessmann, van Wyk, Hoskins...

This might please you immensely then:

Could we possibly be turning a corner in regards to the scrum? Watching our bench front row of Sio, Charles, and Weeks dominate in a couple of scrums against the French warmed the cockles of my heart. Thomas Domingo, Christopher Tolofua, and Vincent Debaty are no mugs, that's for sure. I...

Man of the match: Steve Walsh with two penalty tries for South Africa
