Big difference in kicking stats - I presume Barrett kicks more for territory and Mo'ounga kicks more with the high ball for possession.

Or the cantabs keep the ball a bit more and don't needlessly kick away possession

what an utterly worthless graphic

@Nevorian plus our lite-weight forward pack makes us really shy about playing within our own 40 or so. A fumble and we have a scrum (going backwards), and coming out of our 22 we don't want them getting a lineout and getting a maul rolling. All reasons to kick long and sometimes when we are knocking about in the middle of the pitch.
Actually I'd love to see the point of origin graphic for the above stats. Just to see if my hunch/armchair analysis is accurate or hot air

@Machpants A better comparison might be number of times kicked and number of times passed

@Nevorian
Ball carries: BB 27 RM 26
Total kicks: BB 45 RM 12
Tackle completion: BB 87% RM 71%
Passes: BB 98 RM 61If there's one thing RM needs to improve it's his tackling. It's not a dealbreaker as it will improve with time as it has for other 10s, but right now at test level the big boys will target him big time.

Hurricanes: Garden-Bachop out; an extra forward on the bench (didn't hear who)
Crusaders: Bridge ruled out; Ennor to 11, Jordan to 14, Reece gets the 23 jersey
Edit: according to twitter, Garden-Bachop got injured playing for the Hurricanes Hunters this afternoon; he's replaced by lock Kane Le'aupepe.
