Re: 2024 Rd 2 v Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

My concern with Hoppa is his 'sit down' method of taking bombs. He is so low when he takes the ball that Bula will hardly have to leap to catch the ball.

Well said PJ. Have to feel for Carey being so close to his ton, but a win is a win is a win. That was an exciting finish. Test cricket is best regardless of what some death riders may say. Go Aussies.

I left that game thinking he had a good game, but before he scored his opportunistic (yet fantastic) try, I’m fairly certain I was cursing him on several occasions, most notably being the “strip”. So is his performance being overblown due to a single try? Hard to tell. Did the team look better once...

I don’t think there’s any sign of change. He signalled that the only reason it wasn’t permanent marker was due to third party relationships.

I hope to see Xav at fullback for a time during this match. Very easy to switch Rapa and Xav for certain plays eg a scrum move where extra pace is essential.

As for suggestions that Levy is a better defender than Woolf, I've seen zero evidence of it.
