Rather French on the wing, Fergo in centres than Takairangi in the centres, easily

If Taka is back in the centres we’re in trouble. Too broken, too slow. BA might be hanging onto the combination Taka and Semi had ... where Taka used size to create space before offloading. Perhaps he can still do a bit of that, but he was shown up a lot in defense...

Does anyone know if tuigamala in Jersey flegg is related to the great all black?

  Yeah they're brothers. Tyler is the younger of the two.
