    Patt T got facial fracture out 6 weeks probably depends on surgery if needed.

    Mind you that easy to defend, just have back 3 well back and run everything back. If you don't run the ball back you will find the outsides of opposition will just cover. I think you underestimating our backline .

    They’ll have to when they get back but no point this week - Sam Darry you’d think?

    Would Robertson? Or is Lord there ahead of Darry at the moment because Darry was injured at the time?

    I did note that Holland started at TH lock and then moved to LH lock in the scrums when PT came on.

    To me, Holland is the perfect mould for a tighthead lock. Darry and Lord are definitely more in the Sam Whitelock build. Vaa'i, if he were to keep playing in the second row, is a bit of a hybrid.

    I pretty happy with whoever they take out of Darry or Lord, like em both. Along with Holland very much the future of AB locking stocks until 31-35 WC.

    They want to keep them all close, we don't want anyone leaving the country to play overseas

    What's Jacobson's injury status? Could they keep Lord in the squad and introduce Darry as cover for Tuipulotu? There's more than enough cover in the loose forwards with the other injured players now fit and it'd mean there's less potential for Vaa'i to move back to lock.

    I would think they'd bring him in for the SA games. No point flying him to Argentina to sit in the stand.

    And yet we had two well executed tries out wide by Reece. Of course we should never throw it willy nilly out wide, for me it’s just being patient in our build up and the wide ball will be on.

    @ACT-Crusader

    Dominant forwards, great defence, intelligent kicking, pace and great finishing out wide.

    That's the blueprint that served the All Blacks very well over the years and what Robertson seems to be trying to work towards.
