[QUOTE="ozzy, post: 106350"] This game really exposed how much Donald relies on having another fly half to play outside him. He is simply not a player who can handle the multiple responsibilities of a fly half. His running game is about the only thing he does reasonably well. I cannot for the life of me understand why he has been given the kicking and goal kicking duties as he is so totally unreliable. What was it 3 penalty kicks not in touch and a shitload more in general play, not to mention he can never kick the penalty goals that really matter in a tight match. Hard to judge Lavea on 1 game but he played far better than Tuiplolotu has in that position all year, i.e. he actually "did" something. Lauaki is extremely crap and will most likely not be an all black again in the near future. I kept screaming at him to take the ball up. Instead he runs up, stops, palms off 2 defenders and then runs sideways, totally useless and hes looking fat as well. Masaga's head appears to have grown larger than his abilities. I think after he dominated Habana he has begun to overestimate his abilities and thinks he can crash over players ala Jonah. I hope he got the wakeup call he needed last night as he did absolutely nothing worthwhile for the entire game and seemed to think he could run right over the lions wings. If the opposition had been half decent the Chiefs would have been on the verge of losing the game for the entire match as they showed an inability to completely close out the game and looked to be reverting to form early in the second half where the lions looked to be building some momentum. All in all a pretty boring game despite the high score. [/QUOTE]
