Great defensive effort from Hansen again

Hansen wouldnt be far from a complete second rower if he could add a more consistant try scoring rate to his game, hes got the size, pace and runs belting lines too.

He needs to add ball handling ability IMO as that's what stops him from being able to create tries in attack like Hock does, and like Hoffman and Joel Tomkins did.
There aren't many second rowers who offer the complete package though.

A back three that consists of a runner, a tackler and a ball player always works.

All of our forwards proved they have the potential to belong in a top side on Saturday in my opinion.

I like what I see from Flower. He's rock solid, another Mick Cassidy which is no bad thing. Lauaki on form will provide useful impact. Hock is showing good signs of getting back to what we know he can do whilst Mossop is terrific - a cert for the England starting 13 at next years World Cup.

Someone needs to have a word with Lockers, only 26 tackles, Lazy sod
