Tangitau in my fantasy with a whopping 1 point as he's subbed off 💀

@KiwiInLondon like I said earlier, he's not even noticeable apart from the odd lineout, definitely haven't noticed any niggle.

I notice it a lot around the ruck. He has resorted to pushing and pulling players in trying to disrupt but completely ineffective. He’s young but he’s had u20 and AB XV caps now and was touted as an all black. You expect those players to stand up in adversity, not shrink

Pretty hard to argue against though eh. Not a good look from Withy.

Robinson straight to ground on the scrum set , Way says play on last week he was penalising the Landers for the same infraction..🤔

Great work from the 2 front rowers to shift the ball into space , how many props would have just carried into contact .?

Haven't even noticed Holland is on the field the last few games. About time he showed he's not the second best highlanders lock on the field.

That’s a few passes off the mark from Taine Robinson at set piece now. At Gilbert’s ankles earlier, behind Tangitau earlier on a sweeping play and behind Gilbert again there. Needs to sharpen that up asap

I fking had him as my captain. Typical.

Should of stuck with Dmac after all 😉

Trying to be too cleaver. To make it worse my other winger only scored 5 points. Somehow I’m still doing okay this round.
