I was only able to listen to the radio commentary in spells at work and heard Kibula only took 1 drive in 15 mins. That simply isn’t enough but I won’t judge an 18 year old prop on just his debut. He’s got the talent and years of development in him and I reckon he’ll be a cracker.

It wasn’t because he was lazy and didn’t want to run it in, I remember a few times he was desperate for the ball but they just floated it to Tautai

Official stats for him were 5 drives for 50 metres which is more then acceptable on debut.

It was defensively you’d worry stats wise. He missed three tackles on the night.

Agreed,for my money he shouldn't have been there if the club had replaced FPN I wonder if he would be anywhere near the first team, at the moment for me personally he's not ready,nor should he be he's still a kid despite, and maybe. because of his size he should be very limited in his appearances for the next year or two and let him build up naturally.

It'll be interesting to see whoever the new coach is take on him, handle him right and he could play for year but with that size send him in too early,it doesn't bare thinking about,
