We're big fans of both me but, on this occasion, the Welsh scrum-half came out on top.

Malakai Fekitoa will have been hoping to send a message to the All Blacks selectors in the Highlanders clash with the British & Irish Lions. The 24-year-old is a genuine game-breaker - as he demonstrated against Ireland last November - but he had a rough start in Dunedin. First off, he blew a three-on-two try-scoring chance - with Robbie Henshaw scrambling excellently - and then he came up against Webb. Fekitoa burst up the left flank and looked to have shaken off Jack Nowell's low tackle before Webb thundered in with a chest-high hit that left him reeling. https://twitter.com/IlltudDafydd/status/874533897027112961 Fekitoa went off for a Head Injury Assessment but returned within 10 minutes to carry on with the game. https://twitter.com/Jughes18/status/874533512065449984 https://twitter.com/therealbeckman/status/874533592461955076 https://twitter.com/AlexFrancis31/status/874533381446434817
