This might sound weird - and bear in mind I only watch the internationals so domestic form I have no idea about.. But in a way to me this feels like a team that's less than the sum of its parts.

They're all pretty good to great players but as a team they don't feel like the individuals would do as well as they would if they were just in their home setup.

eg, Jones outside Aki doesn't feel anywhere near as strong as Tuipulotu-Jones or Aki-Ringrose.

It feels like an AI has written the article to me in hindsight

Lazy article for sure but I don't think it's AI. Usually the LLMs have a cut off point when their most recent training material is from so they can't pontificate about stuff in the past few months.
