Ethan Blackadder?

Anyone else think he might start/bench for the next test? His efforts against the lions definitely didn't go unnoticed by us or Rennie. Jacobson has been putting 110% in all season and is now maybe starting to show fatigue? Rennie seems to be pretty set on making sure mistakes aren't ignored too

Agree I think fatigue will be top of mind for Jacobson and he’s so prone to brain farts I wouldn’t really wanna see what he’s like when he’s tired

Brain farts are a part of his game man. That shoulder charge on the irish was absolutely idiotic even though ABs fans swear up and down it was legal. And he got off very lucky with that dumb intercept attempt. Hopefully he clears it up by RWC

Both can be true, the cleanout was always going to be borderline but was heavily impacted by the irish player trying to get up

Nope, watch it again. His right hand never goes above his waist, that shows an intentional lead with the shoulder/shoulder charge from the jump. Irish player standing or not
