Just out of interest did Ioane play 12 or 13 this year for the Blues and if so how did he go there? Potential to do an Umaga/Nonu and move in (not that the ABs are flush in wings to cover it)?

With the view to building depth for next year's world cup, I'd like to see Richie Mo'unga get a few starts in the championship in place of BB. I still think BB is our number one 10 but what happens if he goes down injured? I'm not convinced Dmac has the goods to quide the All Blacks backline (then a...

Tussock

I'd be prepared for the AB's to drop a few matches and possibly the Championship (not the Bledisloe), in order for Mo'unga to get a start. Not saying that he is a step down from BB but he definitely needs a start. Smith fullback and McKenzie on the bench (if Mo'unga starts). Not sure about the wings...

Well deserved!! Considering he missed a lot of the early season has come back strong.

UncleFB, can't really recommend any but the link attach may help.

Another one that I agree with.

Yep, watched the other week and nodded off... rubbish.

Star Wars - anything after Return of the Jedi

Terminator - anything after T2

Apart from Savea starting in what is a very weak loose trio I am very happy with this team. Nervous about them given our depth is being tested but happy we are testing now. Would have been happier with Todd starting to get in there and compete on the deck but happy he is at least there. Very please...

Host keep the gate - make a payment to the travelling side (not sure about payments and expenses for the refs). As you progress thru the playoffs you "earn" more money as the travelling side. Profits are there if you have the crowd numbers but the TV packages already paid by Rupert add to that Chee...

While I understand the need for each 'conference' to have a representative in the super finals... how is the profit sharing split? Particularly when one team finishes above another but has to travel away. Very hard to find details on this.

C'mon highlanders... stop being such softco*ks.

Cheers GS & MB, will have to reconsider spending my Sunday arvo watching.

Tussock

So every page I look at is 10 minutes plus slow... final score and is it worth watching? YC's deserved or homer reffing?

Ta. Watch on delay.

Crotty update?

SBW I forgot to mention

And here's a new (related) blog post Thanks frankster. Was in the Alsace over Christmas and visited Domaine Marcel Deiss. Incredible complexity in their field blends and was lucky enough to try some of their aged releases (we had a private tour and the tour guide used to work there). Another favour...

Well done Crusaders, rested a few players and a couple coming back from injury. Hopefully a settled team for the business end

At 28, feel for him. Solid player for Tahs/Wallabies.

Haven't read all the pages or look up WR injury regs, but if Shields is injured will the RFU compensate or cover rehab costs for the Canes/NZRU/potentially Wasps (if a particularly bad injury)? Given that his Wasps contract won't have begun. How does this apply to other international players repres...

Yep, couldn't agree more. Richie epitomizes rugby and how it should be played.

All the best Kaino, up there as one of my favourite players and an absolute machine.

Man there are some alarmist All black fans on this forum. Would any other supporters be so negative and gloomy after a 5 point win at Murrayfield? Of course they wouldn't be. We've got a relatively young and inexperienced team, especially in the tight five, where four first choice players are missi...

12. Sonny Bill Williams (43)
13. Ryan Crotty (32)

Hopefully a complete game on attach & defense for this combo... been underwhelming all season

Tussock

I think the all blacks need someone in 12 who can either distribute the ball quicker (which SBW isn't able to do even with his 50/50 offloads) or can change it up with a deft kick (yes taking some of the pressure of whomever is at 10. The almost constant running the ball into contact and knockin it...

SBW is first choice 12 every day of the week. And deservedly so. Have to disagree ... decidedly average and this game would've been perfect to try someone else at 12.

While it was a deserved win for the wallabies... this RC has felt like the all blacks are trying to build depth and cover injuries & breaks.

SBW/DMac/Squires/Hames shouldn't be in a top AB team.

Tussock

McKenzie was shit, costs as many points as he creates SBW is not a starter, best give 30 min at the end against a tiring defence Brodie is a god. Whitelock is not rated highly enough Reiko will hold the record for most tries ever by anyone by age 25 B.Smith will be missed Cane was missed out there ...

Hoping Crotty (passing multiple HIA tests) and ALB start next for the ABs... SBW too inconsistent and case of droppsies..
