Piutau's appeal has been dismissed. He remains banned.

Not quite sure how you practice unstructured play as surely by practising it, there's some structure to it!

I thought the same when he said that last night.  But then I guess jazz musicians still have to practice!?

Ha, wonder if it means practicing broken field and line breaks in attack and defence. Early in the season there were lots of line breaks and turnovers but little support so they got isolated. The team have certainly been thinking on their feet.

The support play is crucial in playing this style of rugby. Too many times in the past, we made the line break and the player got isolated. Result turnover penalty. We are now playing a very AB style of game, which is not without errors, but is brilliant to watch and not easy to defend against.

Hear hear!  So good to watch.

Cruse's supporting run with Gopperth's break in the build up to Spink's try a case in point.  That must be something that's been worked on in training as front rows do not tend to do that instinctively!!  ;D

Cruise does seem to though.

Seen him do it quite a few times over the years.

He was on Barbeary's shoulder for his third try, I think.

Yes, Cruse is consistently dynamic in the loose. He cuts some great lines and carries well. It's a position we're really blessed in.
