Has anyone else won the series with only one tournament win?

@Dice And he plays defense too.

NZ 7s to play Ireland in the QF. If they win that, they face Argentina or Samoa in the semi.

All of the backline issues stem from the decisions of the 10. Our biggest problem is that we keep selecting 10s that are extremely well skilled players that seemingly have zero tactical awareness.
For all the talk of how good Mounga was in SA, last night he may as well have renamed himself Beauden.
No use looking for answers in the midfield if they are being expected to do things that aren’t on. That only leads to them trying things they shouldn’t or aren’t equipped to do.
Both RM and BB are front foot geniuses but terrible on static ball or breaking down set defences. We get blinded by their skills when they get to use them. They want to attack from everywhere rather than earn the right.
Even DMac for all his crazy will use his boot to steer the team or pick out straight runners.
I’d like to see Perofeta given a chance to run the show. I have no idea if he is the answer but RM and BB aren’t.Perofeta maybe, but if he gets a run it will be on the back of bugger all play at 10 this season. He even played 15 for the Naki last week when it would have been an ideal time to give him some time at 10.
So yeah, given he played well for the Blues at 15 Foster will probably play him at 10.
Perofeta did get a few starts at 10 for the Blues this season and looked sharp there. He also finished some games at 10.
I think he got an AB spot because he performed at 10 and not just at 15. If he only performed at 15, I'm not sure he makes the All Blacks.
In saying that, I would probably wait for Japan to get him a chance at 10.

Pretty bad concussion. Radley convulsing.
Decent game. Storm worked their way back into it. Still 8 minutes to go.
-
Roosters looking a class above the Storm at the moment.

Thank you Walshy 💰
How poor was that tackle attempt by him for the first Panthers try. Useless.
Him and SJ are two of the worst defenders in the comp.
Terrible defense by the whole team in this one though. 53 missed tackles.

I was meant to pick Waikato for top scorers, but somehow see that I picked Shield Snorters.
-
A draft might mean some players just go to league because they don't want to have no say in where they go.

Hopefully Lam's injury isn't too bad.
Let's hope RTS gets released to play next week, especially if Lam is out, or else we're gonna see Hickey starting at 10, with Plummer moving out to 12 and Evans at 13. I'd prefer Plummer/Evans/RTS.
-
Not enough points for all the breaks we're making.
Highlights will have plenty of RTS in it. He's having his way with this BOP defense.

@Dice why is Joshua furious with decision (BBC)? To my relatively untrained eye it was close. but Usyk was busier with more meaningful shots.
Doesn’t sound too furious according to this article.
Where to now for Joshua ? Gonna be incredibly hard to be taken as a serious contender after this.
Would love to see Usyk against Fury and/or Wilder although I feel he’d have no chance against the former.
Just in case you missed what happened post fight. AJ snapped. His speech after this was even weirder.

AJ's corner kept telling him he was winning rounds that he wasn't, so I guess he was surprised when he didn't win.
The crowd probably won AJ a few rounds that he didn't deserve.

What the hell is this. AJ needs to stop it.

Beautiful day in Auckland.
BOP look to have the better pack. We probably have the edge in the backs.
-
@Bovidae Dominic Gagaeolo is the other one. A very athletic lock/loosie.
-
@Bovidae A couple of boys from Kelston in there.
Senita Lauaki following in the footsteps of Sione.

Booth might regret taking that quick tap. Should've taken the 3.
