For me, the most pleasing thing was the performance of Sorovi & Stewart + Fotuaika & Hoopert. My biggest question marks were around our halves and our depth at prop. On the evidence of last nights game those boxes are ticked. Kerevi & Petaia both did well.
The Filth have taken their systematic cheating to a new level this year. The off season obviously spent working on the game plan essentials re live broadcasts ensuring that any New Zealand try is not exposed as being dubious. Wait till the game officials ignore forward passes before discussing reluctantly and briefly the forward passes leading to tries. The pass at the line out from Smith was a yard forward. The process from that point on is so familiar

Move on
The WWE would be embarrassed by the sustained and unrelenting CHEATING that is on display
This is not “rub of the green”, this is THEFT!!!

Erm, Hegarty lost ground regularly, most notably in his kicking contest with Ioane starting on the Highlanders tryline and ending near the reds 22.
He didn't seem to look for touch very often (despite a dominant lineout) and when he did, didn't get very far. If you are looking to relieve pressure, kicking right to Ben Smith doesn't seem like a good idea. Didnt find grass very often when keeping it in. Goal kicking seemed good though.
Sorovi's box kicking looked a lot better.
As a team they kept kicking it away on set piece, which was obviously trained but pretty ineffective. There was the early blindside play off the scrum which was terrible. Sorovi also kicked it away off the scrum after 70 minutes where holding it seemed far wiser.
In my opinion their kicking game should be aimed at their strengths more. A conservative clearance strategy with pressure on the lineout, a strong running game off set piece etc.
Edit: i'd like to add that's its literally the only criticism i have of their entire game. They were otherwise fantastic. Pretty excited by Petaia. TK and Kerevi have some real competition for the 13 jersey.
