Wellington need a bigger ball carrier at 6. Kafatolu is the weakness in this forward pack.
But he is not responsible for the working over the Wellington front row is being given

Oh hey Sam, at the lineout I should be penalising you but I'm just ignoring it because why not. OK.
Yeah good one ref.
They're often marginal calls .. but was a bit weird
Hah. Thing was s he said they should have been penalised, not that it's marginal!

Goosen is class

Hala is also a decent player! (not in Goosen's class yet)

@Canes4life You ststed that he was the weak point of the pack, completely overlooking the woring over the front row was being given. By your statement it appears that you do not consider a poor front row to be a weaskness.

Use the backs for christs sake.

@Canes4life You simply stated the the blindside flanker was the weakness in the Wellington forward pack. I was merely pointing out there are other big weaknesses in the Wellington forwards, particularly when scrums are involved. My apologies for thinking scrums are probably the biggest part of what front rows are rated on.

How was that not a knock on at the lineout..?,

@Higgins these guys are bloody young though, so no, that's not all I'm going to judge them on at this stage of their career. They all showed in that last passage of play that they are all devastating ball carriers.
And yes, Kafatolu is the weakness - he is an aging club player and it's showing.
