@KiwiMurph Thompson stole a crucial lineout in there too. As you said, McWhannell is very good in the collision. We have some good locks at our disposal when it looked like it could have been a problematic area for us over the last year or two.
Was nervous when Nock came on but he did well and kept the tempo up.
Clarke continues to go from strength to strength, how good was he off the bench!
Eklund actually went quite well apart from getting hit by Fa'agase early. Hard to tell who should be in the matchday 23 between him and Vikena, but Eklund was the better one tonight.
Cole Forbes has been a brilliant signing. I didn't know a lot about him, but he's a very well rounded player, does his core roles very well and is very good as a 2nd playmaker and also a good runner of the ball to. There doesn't look like much to him, but he is hard to put down and is very reliable in the air. Scotland should have capped him haha.
Scrum went well , Renata has improved massively under Cotter and Fusitu'a is coming along nicely.
Funaki again, WOW! The guy is everywhere. Am I going over the top in suggesting that he's worth ABs consideration?

Easy to get lost in all the mayhem but I thought McWhannell was strong from the bench. Smashed Wilson in one tackle. He is physical and accurate.
Darry played ok I thought but there was a noticeable shift when McWhannell came on.

@Damo Exactly. You're making do with what you have and just defeated a team that's just come off giving the powerhouse of the competition an absolute hiding, so yeah, I'd be pretty happy grinding out a tough win, which makes next weeks game in Tonga even bigger.

Forbes, Funaki, Clarke.

Patty Tuips, Funaki, Clarke.

Blues fitness this season is why we can win late like this. Credit to the coaches.
