Eventhough I think they only have themselves to blame I think both SA and Arg will improve dramatically next games, just in terms of assimilating to local conditions. Arg in particular just looked really short of a gallop and puffed by half time. South Africa obviously will be upset and come out with a point to prove, for all the chest beating prior about the Lions, they were incredibally inaccurate
Boks also didn't look fit. Partly the quarantine but partly that they were forced to run around a bit more than usual. I'll reference Eddie Jones' book again, to paraphrase his game plan against the Boks: shift the big boys around - they don't like it and opportunities open up
yeah hardly like the "eight pack photos" coming from them last world cup

Covid cases in Brisbane. Wonder if they will move the last round to Perth if a lockdown happens.

@akan004 If the players stick to their big bubbles, playing without a crowd makes much more sense.
@stargazer As long as the Qld govt permits that then you are right. For now it looks like the tests will go ahead, the Premier hasn't mentioned the possibility of lockdown yet.

are they actually in bubbles?
Even public shit like their Townsville Esplanade photo shoot?
Either way it wouldn't matter, the chook would sacrifice a looot of people to ensure that she puts on the NRL GF when NSW couldn't

Brodie there on reputation, Scott was better this series. Even with only one game, Aaron Smith still best 9

@machpants fair enough, akira probably gets there more on the first few games than the last couple

Very true, I'd have Sia there instead (numbers rather tan position cheat!) Also I would have RIoane at 11, one of the players of the tournament.
Other wise pretty good. Not saying Scott should be there, but BBBR shouldn't

@machpants RI only played two games at 11 and his biggest contribution on the weekend was when he popped up in midfield

They must have watched some different fixtures to me.
The most egregious selections:
4. Shadow of his former self. Hardly imperious and one of two standouts.
11. Did what apart from stand offside?
13. Never had the ball and if he did invariably coughed up.Most deserving are 12, 14 and 15.
