Re: RC: All Blacks vs Argentina: MATCH THREAD: Nelson
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)?

Re: The All Black no.10 jersey??
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...

Re: All Blacks Rugby Championship Squad
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...

Trying to get my head around the super finals
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.
