DMac runs sideways taking the space from Tele'a. Thankfully Cane was there.

Jesus that was so bad, DMac took up all the space, bloody crab

But clearly Plummer, who allows his outsides space to play, is not the answer

This offers zero preparation for playing England, Ireland and France away on consecutive weeks.

It's also kinda boring if I'm honest.

Great falcon by our captain.

@Jet Yeah, trying to score of every play isn't much of an examination.

McKenzie had plenty of support to put it through the hands there, the cut out pass killed momentum
