Which part was poor other than the two restarts an area he has excelled in in previous games, was it his earlier kick which put the Brumbies on attack at the start of the game or his cut out pass which put Speight away down the right or was it his cover tackle on Turner which nearly saved a try or was it his run and pass which put Mogg on the outside of Tapaui or was his speed to the breakdown which created a number of opportunities for his outside backs.
Up against the worlds best halfback IMO White more than held his own and I did not see Genia have the same influence for the Reds and White was sorely missed in the closing minutes after retiring with cramps.
The cynical play by the Reds forwards in interfering with the half to prevent his progress to the next phase is a compliment to White.
Relax mate. It was just my opinion and didn't stem from any specific events but my overall impression of the game.
Genia had a good game, but continuiing to call him the world's best halfback when we haven't seen that sort of form for a few years is a bit of a stretch.
White cemented himself as Australia's second best halfback last year and was a huge part of the Brumbies success in 2013. He's critical to their success this year and I didn't think he was close to that last Saturday night.
I agree that the Reds forwards caused him a lot of issues slowing down the ball and interfering with play but that is something he needs to deal with. If he can't get the referee to protect him he's got to work out some other way to deal with it.
I guess I'm expecting big things from White now and if he doesn't deliver that I don't think the Brumbies will be nearly the force they were in 2013. He's one of their star players playing in a crucial position. His performance will go a long way towards whether they win or lose the tight games.
