It's not just that he's not done anything at test level at no.10. It's every level. He hasn't produced any kind of form at lowly Super Rugby since he won the title with the Hurricanes in 2016.

THis is the worst NZ team since the Taine Randall era. Possibly even worse than that.

The AB backs seemed to have more, er, penetration with Rieko at center than Proctor.

It’s surprising how military medium they are outside of Roigard. Actually Tu...
