Here are my few points from the night!
- I love the look of most of the first back line - matheson, holmes, godwin, not sure about junior still, badger.
- wasn't impressed with Marcel, he was caught out of position on one occasion and seemed to get back slowly on turnover ball (esp with that wind), got bundled into touch taking the wrong option, and seemed to dawdle a little bit.
- The saffa 4 looked pretty good, solid in the line out too
- Skills were really good, i didn't see too many dropped balls at all. They managed to keep on the front foot a lot, though not super competition
- discipline was really good
- kicking was minimal!!!!
- some of the kicks were crap, kicking way too high into the howling wind.
HIGHLIGHT: Alby got smashed in a tackle, and had to come off... because he had lost his shoes... SHOES!!! thats right, he got knocked out of both his shoes. he seemed a little pissed as he needed to find some more shoes. What had us all really puzzled was, where did he put his shoes, he didnt come off with them... pretty sure a Samoan forward ate them, only explanation really...
Shaping up to be a tight unit, and will be good to see them against a quality side.
