A few more players should go to Ireland on Sabbatical rather than Japan it seems.

Rieko will hopefully come back stronger

Stronger than Reiko

Pedant

So...

Quite like what we're doing apart from the lack of patience. Just slow down a smidge. Go like fuck when it's on, but be patient ... like that last try.

21-13. Reasonable reflection if not slightly flattering to France.

Vaa'i misses one down the blind.

Have we got a centre? Or was he the guy that waved in the Frog try?

Holland is a fucking unit.

Lineout good.

Scrum good.

Patience Grasshoppers, patience.

Lio Willie is a good foil for Ardie, I think. He’s industrious without being flashy.

I can’t overstate how much I prefer Reiko on the wing. Shame Proctor’s making a meal of it in the midfield.

Who is next to line at 13 after Proctor and Rieko?

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader Caught a replay of that ruck, it was Taylor and Ioane on the spot with clean out

[Victor Meldrew]

Some thoughts:

Good leadership when 10-0 down
Focussed - didn't fold when things went wrong
Very settled after 20 minutes
BB;s kicking is an issue
Proctor having a 'mare but improved by half-time
Loosies combining well - pretty outstanding as it's a new combo

Ennor I assume?

[ACT Crusader]

Just on the replay of some of the highlights, the French centre has also waved through his fair share of black jerseys too.

[Tim]

Can someone please get Dagg off the screen? What a braying moron.

[Gunner]

Lots of good ball movement, finding plenty of space, but on the back of that we’ve seen a lot of sloppiness.

Proctor getting done on the outside off set piece defence was fucking ugly.

Overall plenty to like.

[MajorRage]

I’m loving both DMac snd BB on. Yeah some diamonds n dust, but overall it’s a net gain and makes the game more fun to watch

[Frank]

Read does not look good being that thin.

I’d prefer to see Tavatavanawai. Need a bit of power there.

QT plays both midfield positions too.

Not really. Only found his feet once he became a permanent 12, always looked a bit lost on defence at 13.

[Tim]

All those guys are untested on defence at 13. Except ALB, and he stinks.

[ACT Crusader]

I don’t think Proctors pace was the issue, he was far too compressed and had to make up too much ground.
