Akira Ioane turns on Man of the Match performance for the Blues

Akira Ioane now has 4 tries to his name this season and is building nicely ahead of All Blacks selection for the 3 match series against France in June. The massive 22 year old was named Man of the Match for the Blues on the weekend, and it’s easy to see why.

Whats better than Kwagga or Esterhuizen off the bench? Both Kwagga and Esterhuizen on the bench at the same time. Snyman is a huge miss

Thats why laws need to leave less if anything to interpretation. If the laws were just the laws the coaches would have less room to jockey for attention or cast aspersions on the strong points of the opponents

He blew a try when he slipped then broke through inside pass to Roigard he is going in under the posts, Dmac slips a heap as he often stops quickly then changes direction like that kid we all know at lunchtime

Jeesh DP think it’s undeniable the ABs been throwing some great combos so far and our weaknesses have not been fatal….yet but still exploited.

It’s going to be huge for ABs to keep Boks out of the 22 as the 3 tries were very similar and felt kind of inevitable once they got going.

DMac will be gutted with that one.

On Jordan’s break I think Hooker does really well to cut off the space and then make the covering tackle. He shut Jordan down in that second half

I think this is the way P. I’ve seen others say Blackadder and for good reason but Lakai has been outstanding all season and is still growing by the game. Jump on that momentum.

Both S Burger and Read have been impressed with him and I believe they know what they are talking about 😉

I actually reckon your solution of playing the scrum through if it’s safe will take so much shenanigans and interpretation out of the scrum.

Okay the attacking team can still feed it straight to the 8 and then collapse it but maybe having the put in strait solves that too.

All Blacks need to knock the front door down first

It may have a rebound effect though with the next ref going against Rennie. Looking at other forums it is amazing how many comments have uncovered the cheating SA scrum this week, absolutely nada before then.

'I'm not going to moan my arse off': Erasmus fires back at Rennie's accusation

He never claimed he was free from being an interested party. His reasoning was strong though as the Irish and French scrums have been beaten up and there was never any hint of cheating with the brakefoot coming from them.

No one has played themselves out of contention which is encouraging.

No - but but if at the last minute they swap out Fourie with another Hooker - that player would be coming in pretty cold to a pretty key position.

Then you can start with Fourie and finish with Marx (what I expect) - but again a 39 year old backing up from Saturday at altitude on what should be a pretty fast game? Seems like an interesting call.

Where does Cheslin Kolbe rank in the elite goalkicking wingers' club?

That works out to about $850000 US per year of his pro career which sounds about right if you think he has been at it for 12 years or so and is give or take on a million plus now

I was really happy with Ma'u getting 20 against the Lions. His scrum went well with his general play. Maybe a bench option but I would like him back playing for Otago with test selection on the northern tour later.

Well this is a different scrum. On a telephone screen with two scrum halves and a ref in front of the two props, at live speed, I can’t see where the bind is, let alone clearly, and I had my glasses checked today.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by showing this scrum?

I think to be fair we need to see the Bok side of the scrum at the same time too or are we suggesting that the ABs bullied the Boks into moving left? And Rassie pleaded guilty - that is the best evidence in most Courts!
