Enjoyed that, bit wet and it slowed things a bit, but still good game and my thoughts are, right at the start I couldn't believe how trim Akira looked KFC was surely closed during lockdown, he actually played ok, not great but ok. Papalii's bin/penalty was fair enough, he missed the ball at first attempt and when he stepped over player he should of just driven thorugh, ruck had formed and ya can't pick a ball up then!! Sotutu looks a bloody tasty player to me, now all you jokers that have been screaming about Akira for the last few years, this is how I wanted HIM to play, he seems quick, he tackles well, looks to be looking for work and seems he a good lineout target. so at 21 if keeps improving he will be pretty bloody good!! PT has gone to a whole new level and is really showing what selectors could see in him, he looking like a bloody good international lock to me! Blues backline looks bloody good doesn't it? And BB is certainly giving them good pay for getting him, he is constantly chatting and seemingly guiding them out wide, and f*** me a blues backline that thinks was always going to be f***en dangerous!
Also add other thing that showed you need some real experience in tighties, and Chiefs are going to struggles until Ardon etc are back, loosies can do bugger all if they in tight too much. I suspect we will see this reinforced agin with the Canes today. sigh!
