@taniwharugby if you’ve ever been on a stats or analysis team and reviewed games just focussing in on one player, it’s quite a different what you notice, especially when your focus is on specific things the players does (or doesn’t do).
I did a little bit of basketball player analysis (all post game) and I was amazed at what I was able to pick up that I didn’t when just watching the game live. Couple that with other data and it can paint a different picture.
@ACT-Crusader yeah appreciate all that, but the glaring issues some players seem to have, how the stats paper over them...
But even with glaring issues you can sometimes live with them if there are other things that they are doing and the other option has issues too.
Or you throw all of that out the window and just select the guy that plays in red n black….
I think that Japanese team looks very similar to last week's team, but with last week's bench players starting and some starters moving to the bench.

Nareki almost fucked that try up
Yeah, Weber saved that for him.
Lovely from Proctor again. Try no 2 for him tonight. The Goodhue and Proctor centre combo looks classy.
Proctor has been defending well too. Some good work just before Strange got isolated and Japan scored
Fantastic 40 20 and try set up from nareki. Yes he screwed up a couple of times. But, it is all about pumping the positive.

Oh. What is a 40-20?
Edit. Ah, Google says League
@Machpants dude let it go. I have come home after a few beers to watch this. I got the terminology incorrect. Fixed it in a later post. Stop getting on a spectrum buzz.

It was a genuine question which Google answered, apologies for my denseness

Zarn or Reuben? Important thing for me is we have 2 up and coming talents getting international experience playing alongside experienced Test players. Love the AB XV concept.
@Victor-Meldrew bang on. This is a concept where we celebrate the good things. Let the coaches iron out the fuck ups.
