I agree with the comments that an in form Cooper is our best 10. I think the Cooper/Barnes combo at 10 and 12 is excellent though and certainly the best option we currently have. They balance each other beautifully.
Barnes' try was an excellent piece of work from both of them. Cooper threw a beautiful ball, but Barnes did wonderfully well to catch the pass behind him and score. I think most of our players would drop that pass. Barnes showed fantastic handling throughout the match.
Barnes is surely now going to be our 10 for the Baa Baas and Wales games. It will be interesting to see how he fares with a more settled backline.
I thought Horne looked pretty good. He tried one silly offload which turned the ball over, but overall was good. He makes the gain line with ball in hand and looks threatening. His tackling was excellent.
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) had a pretty good game but as always, fails to pass at crucial times which limits opportunity. Bit of a shocker by him not to score although he never really caught that pass particularly well in the first place.
Slipper was superb. I can't wait to see Robinson back. I think Robinson, Moore, and Slipper can quickly become a world class front row. Ma'afu was very solid in the scrums and made some good tackles. Probably doesn't deserve the ridicule he receives.
I thought both TPN and Saia Fainga'a did some good things. Certainly Taf's best impact so far with some big tackles. Hopefully we're starting to see some of the old TPN back.
