@crucial I personally thought Frizell had a bloody good game, was in the thick of it most of time on field. Agree De Groot was good. Fakatava looks to have picked up where he left off last year, which is pleasing.
I think Scott Barrett ahd had a couple of good games too.
Last week I had been inpressed with Cane, Retallick for Chiefs as well.
I haven't mentioned some others that impressed me to keep with brief of being ABs which is good. -

Frizell was great
always looks the business at super though.
I like De Groot, alot of potential, especially if guided properly, even more so that I know a local club prop that reached out to him on Social Media for some advice, and he responded with a numerous messages, training stuff, advice, encouragement and chat....top bloke!

Can I ask why? You must have been the only one other than the AB coaches to see his ability from the Highlanders bench.
I thought he had a fairly busy game last night, but to go all buzz phrase he doesn't really bend the line that much for a guy his size and reputation.

George Bower
was very good last night,
Gave Honeck a dust up in the scrums and carried well.
Luke Jacobsen
I thought until he got injured was busy last week he looks in good nick.
Tyler Lomax
Pretty good last week scrum went well while he was in for the Canes.Adding a few who haven’t been mentioned.

@nepia I didn’t think it was a surprised he is often talked up a few years ago after super rugby, I mean his first game he scored three tries and walked all over the blues, I also didn’t think he was as bad for the abs as some did, I think he was given a different game plan…but, can’t argue ioane (and even Blackadder) often makes a much bigger impact in the black jersey, finally with his drama last year he just doesn’t seems like even a good bloke

I think lots of people were surprised when he made the ABs from the bench. Maybe he was more noticeable to you as he was a Highlander so you were more knowledgable about him. You, @Chris-B , and TJ were probably the only 3 who knew who he was.

Alex Hodgman played well for the Blues, active around the paddock, solid at scrum time, worked hard at the breakdown with some nice touches with the ball.
And he can ran and catch a ball unlike Moody

He could be by the end of SR, but he's not yet
BTW I don't know what a thrashwank is nor whom you consider "NZs best luxury player"? WTF is a luxury player?

Luke Romano's new house in Auckland is next door to a KFC.
And a maccas, and a dominoes...
I did wonder if maybe he discovered Wendy's, or some shit that isn't in ChCh, but is in Auckland.
Is there a Wendy's in ChCh?
I don't care. Luke got fat, and WTF?
