Two teams having to rely on emotion to perform. Pumas look flat and NZ responding like they did after SA.

He's not as good as advertised in the scrum, missing on defense and can't carry for shit.
Ok I'll take a SH opinion as I won't have watched him as much. I'll have Koch instead but start Atonio
Koch is much better than Malherbe IMO. :thumbup:
