Clan on a warning already.
They backed off quite a bit there in the 2nd 20mins of that half. Let the execution slide and a bit of I'll discipline creep in. They need to be more precise, clinical and keep the foot on the accelerator in the 2nd half. These lulls have been the difference this weekend. We fall into them and the Kiwis seize the initiative.Only 10 points of advantage after dominate the first half??? Mmm... a very small prize. I hope they can keep the dominance
Not only is he far and away this teams best player I actually reckon he is currently the best player in Australia. His ability to come off the scrum/ruck base and keep opposing flankers and inside defenders guessing is priceless. Even more so at the next level up.Nic White is on fire!
White’s very good when his side is winning contact. He’s probably better against NZ sides who are happy to concede ground but fan out.It’s funny, I think he’s been poor so far this season against the Australian teams (relative to his usual high standards that is) but he’s definitely stepping up today. Which is exactly what you want against the NZ teams - many regress!
Both Gordon & Tate played good games too. Maybe some healthy competition between our 9's.It’s funny, I think he’s been poor so far this season against the Australian teams (relative to his usual high standards that is) but he’s definitely stepping up today.

They're letting some errors slip into their game and keeping the door wide open. That throw from FF (Folau Fainga'a) was a shocker.Brums in danger of Redsing this...
