Re: All Blacks 2024

Caleb is continuing to give Razor good reasons to pick him. I would like to see Clarke #11 and Tele'a or Reece #14. Reece and Tele'a are very similar in what they do on the field. Clarke offers many "points" of difference. I thought Newel had a good scrummaging game in yet another Crusaders loss, a...

Re: The Blues returning optimism 2024 Thread

Tuipulotu is in top form for the Blues. The game plan and support from cleaners really suits his game but have to wonder if his game will be suited to the ABs if Razor wants to use a different game plan.

Indeed. Tom Taylor 2.0. He could do a job if needed. He's very good under the highball and playing for field position. He's also very useful for the Blues game plan. Everyone needs to hit rucks well in the Blues and in that regard there probably isn't a better 10 at hitting rucks in the country. He...
