So we're about to test this mid-field cover theory...

Just lethal.

Sopoaga for Crotty. So our backline is now...
9. A.Smith
10. Sopoaga
11. Savea
12. B.Smith
13. Naholo
14. Dagg
15. Barrett
...I think? That's a quite the mess. On the flip side, that must be some kind of record for the most number of back three players on the field at one time.

Mid field obviously not working. 10 has to do it all himself....

A Conrad kick from Dagg would've been nice there. Still, doesn't look like there will be any tries leaked late game this week.

Oh good, that last try at least made the scoreline respectable.

It was a nice touch for Liam Squire to take the field wearing Duane Monkley's haircut.

Dixon and Squire are both playing well enough, they'll probably be OK.

They'll be fine.

They'll be fine, and Moala has been decent at 13 this year. Crotty is a steady pair of hands, even if he may be holding the fort until Ngatai can be looked at properly, but he's not someone who'll lose a test.
Fuckin' told you so.
Most of the work was done by 9, 10 and 15. Yes, the mid field was adequate but it wasn't the 12/13 combo setting the Lunchbox on fire, was it?

Yeah. But how many meters did he aimlessly kick, eh?
