England vs Fiji

Korbin needs some improvement if he wants to play regular first-grade I reckon. When he's fired up, you get the aggression & powerful runs in his game but he becomes prone to losing the plot, making mistakes & missing tackles. When he puts his head to it he can be a real hard worker & his stats are really good but you lose the aggressive side to his game & he fades into the background doing his work quietly. Bennett needs to get Korbin to harness both at the same time if he's ever gonna become a real superstar player.

100% agree. He's definately a work in progress, but does have the ability to be real good. He is still only young though, so still a couple of years to get him going.
 
What a game of 2 halves, I was really looking forward to the second 40 being as close as the first but it wasn't to be, England's tries just before and after half time broke Fiji. Still a decent game.

I thought Korbin was very impressive but as said he gets a bit too fired up and does some stupid things but I think that will leave his game as he gets older, he's still one of the best forward prospects in the game. Was it just me or was his try saver one of the best ever? It didn't get much attention because Fiji was already behind but if the game was in the balance and he did that, it'd become one of the more famous ones, absolutely brilliant effort.

I'm surprised the commentators didn't praise it more? Was a great try saving tackle! And was it just me, or where the commentators biased towards England?
 
Yeah exactly they made it sound like it was just a normal held up but Korbin came out of nowhere while the England player was already over the line and wrestled him by himself, it was amazing.

The commentators praised Fiji's defence alot in the first half but they were definitely cheering on England lol
 
I actually like the British commentators. They are the commentators when the minnow matches are being played and I almost prefer them over Vossy.
 
They did say it was a brilliant tackle or some other adjective. I guess they mustn't have made a massive deal about it because it didn't mean anything to the game as Fiji were far behind & it was a 100+ kg prop man handling a tiny half.
 
Yeah that's what I mean, if the game was closer it would've been made a bigger deal of. One of the best I've still seen even though it meant nothing.
