    I can see Maitland being taken off with Kearney coming on and HP going to the wing later in this match.

    The Waratahs out half has made some incredible decisions so far. Really impressive.

    Some lovely play. Drew Mitchell pretty eye catching too.

    They've got a point about Vunipolou not scrummaging straight...he just turned 90 degree there

    Maitland isn't doing well though. If North is out (I hope he's isn't because he is a crucial player) then Zebo starts by default I guess.

    I wouldn't say that at all. Cuthbert isn't out of the running at all. It wasn't a coincidence that Halfpenny played 30 minutes the other day on the wing either.

    Zebo has been good, looked sharp and gotten over the gain line a couple of times but he hasn't demanded inclusion in the test side based on 20 minutes of looking sharp.

    Zebo going well but POC is immense

    Warburton quiet again, few nice tackles but that's it

    Phillips is a very poor nine when his breaking threat is marshalled

    Great steal from O'Connell there?

    POC must have made 3 turnovers by now all by himself ....

    With Zebo starting, I'm assumingthat North is out and Cuthbert is on the other wing.

    Obviously I was taking the piss saying Zebo can play 10 but he does step in at first receiver a lot of the time.

    POC is the leader in all but name.
    Incredible turnovers.

    Though I've been impressed with all the backrow.

    North being out of today and North being out in a week is a big difference though. If he's at 80% fit, they'll start him, I think. Currently, I reckon Zebo has a great shot at the 23 jersey.

    He'll need to do something special to get a test spot. Busy won't be enough.

    Agreed.
    O'Connell is doing more no 7 groundhog work than Warburton.

    That is how to chase a kick. Excellent from Zebo again.

    Agreed, North is important enough to risk.

    Zebo is having a stormer, and tbh, making a mockery of his non selection

    Vunipola was totally sideways for that scrum!

    Heaslip should have kept it tighter at the back though.

    Not a good start for Heaslip.
