@MiketheSnow same for me. Footwork from Coles and Anton got us through that rush D.

I actually thought it wasn't a great pass but I had had a couple of wines (whines) by then.
It was a terrible pass. He had Beauden on his outside screaming for the ball and he threw it a couple of feet above his head. Thankfully Beauden had the skills to haul it in without losing too much pace to enable him to still take the space on the outside.

Went with BB, Coles and A Smith. BB was sensational, his kicking is always hit and miss but without him we lose that game, probably by a bit.
Coles and A Smith both had a huge impact off the bench. Taylor/Coles and TJP/A Smith combos are a real point of difference for us.

SBW is simultaneously overrated in the media and underrated on here. Quite amusing.
It was not a terrible pass at all - it was the perfect time to throw the cutout pass as there was space on the outside - it was slightly high but was nicely weighted and allowed Beaudie to run on to the ball.

ARHS obvs a Canty fan, Todd was anon
I only realised he was on the pitch when they showed him down injured.

@Bovidae BFA was easily caught by loose forwards, that's the problem most of us see. Slow
I think that's a bit harsh on him. Both times, he was significantly behind the advantage line when he got the ball, thus reducing the ground the Bok loosies (I think both times it was Kwagga - who is rapid in any event) had to cover to tackle him. Only Rieko skins the cover defence in such a situation, IMO.

I was at the game, and it might have been the most lacklustre one I've seen for a long while. So many players were average, the first half was littered with handling errors. The second half was better, the double pivot strategy showed signs of promise. Not our best game but I wonder if the coaches used the game to probe the saffa defence to assess their tendencies for later. Shag has earned my trust, this is a stepping stone toward the ultimate goal #trusttheprocess

I thought he was OK (well, no worse than others) until he seemed to get a injury at about 30mins

@KiwiMurph That probably applies to most ABs.
If anything, all the handling errors killed the few opportunities we had.
Whilst I agree with that. Todd is just one one of those solid reliable players - he probably ain't going to win you a match - or lose you one. I like a little more excitement in my life.
If only Matt Todd’s highlights video on YouTube had hip hop music on it like Ardie’s, some would find his play more exciting....
