Absorbing game so far. Is Bentham the best ref at the moment? The games he's reffed have been pretty good

I like the look of Chris Hill for England. Good footwork at the line. Tigers should have a chat and see if he wants to test himself in the big league. A few of their outside backs look pretty handy too.

Great ref. Only blows the whistle when he has to. How it should be.

Wass thinking the same, impressed me last time I saw him and tonite so far.

Ref is very good, a few boo boos but that happens

Taupau seemed to be i'changed with about 2 mins till half time..strange move

SKD has impressed me again , I know he isn't the Forum's No 1 fan but he has played well in 2014

He is 10 times better than any other centre we have at the moment

 

[innsaneink]

SKD is a great player….dunno why some dont rate him

Did Taupau play in the 2nd half? Dont think he did

Don't think so

Blair was enormous for the Kiwi's …lost count of the offloads he got away....made some pretty crucial tackles too...Taupau was good in the short time he was on always seems to make metres after contact..

Agree with you both on SKD as well...he's quicker than you think too.

Taupau was great, don't know why he didn't get more game time.

I think he is ready to start for us alongside Woods this year.

Agree, I've got Taupau, Woods and Lodge all ahead of Big Kathy. Geez the big Red needs a big year, I'm not sure if he has it in him.

I thought the same thing at the time and when he took no further part in the game I started thinking injury although there has been nothing said to suggest it.
