That was another great turnover from Todd. One of the best on the field, tonight.
Todd's been great as has SBW, DMac, Taylor, Scott Barrett - and Aaron Smith's been v. good as well.
Hard to pick a MoM TBH
@victor-meldrew DMac is a very mixed bag. Two intercepts, some mixed kicking options, poor kick off, plus some great running. Still doesn’t look to setup players outside him but very good at beating defenders.
-
Naholo has been utterly awful, I think we can go back to Ben on the wing or NMS, Jordie great full back
-
Next time more time for Mo'unga, hopefully. This was just good for getting rid of debut nerves. Played well during the little time he got on the field.

I’m no fan of DMac, but Mounga is now firmly in third place on the back of that performance.

@machpants NMS has shown nothing this year. Much like every year since 2015.

Cruden was our last 10 who actively looked at setting up players outside him - BB and DMac look to make the break first and then feed (and kick pass for BB) and in general it works!

@tim has to be Ioane, JB and BFA.
@taniwharugby Is Ben Smith still going to be in the team next year?

@kirwan Yep, because Dmac is Hansen's pet project.
And Damian delivered tonight. Not mistake free, but a big improvement. Fantastic goal kicking, and the length of his field kicking was impressive.

@tim doesnt really matter right now, cos we know it aint Naholo.
BFA still looks pretty slippery in broken play.

@kev I think he needs a brick shithouse playing alongside him -SBW (or SWB) is a perfect foil for him - like James Lowe used to be in the Chiefs
-
@kirwan still too many errors for me. I wouldn't want him in the wet or a tight game, against a forward dominant team. Like last week.

I still prefer him at fullback, in the old B.B. supersub role

@shadowtrooper agree it’s about balance in a team.

That will be his role , tonight was about getting experience to cover an emergency I reckon
