Bullshit he had a solid final - made a positive contribution, the first time he got the ball beating a defender and breaching the advantage line.
I watched to minute 6 and just recall after watching Chasing the Sun 2 he had a very impactful WC
Consistently the best 12 in the game for years now

I posted the ESPN stats that were disputed. But having looked at the whole match they are right….all his runs were behind the advantage line, and they were as scarce as hen’s teeth. He had literally no impact at all with the ball in hand.
But he did kick twice tactically, once, into touch and the other easily fielded….both when the Boks had good attacking positions.
And he was the player who got the ball a meter out after the Kolisi run and was turned onto his back by Barrett. Super naturally powerful…..not!
So just a bunch of fails on attack….and a bunch of embarrassing flubs on defense. Stepped with ease by Taylor down the wing, isn’t that supposed to be the center stepping the hooker. Bounced by Barrett in a NZ build up in the last key minutes. And goose stepped and rounded by Mo’unga for a try that was fortunately called back.
There is absolutely nothing positive to report. Can we move on now and find a real inside center to create some excitement.
