Re: Under-used players in Super Rugby Aotearoa 2020?
We easily have depth for 6 but not really the hone bases for it. Where would no.6 go? It’s why I’m all for opening up eligibility for NZ players in Aussie to allow our depth to get game time instead of getting stuck on the bench.

Tekau ma tahi is eleven. Tekau ma rua is twelve etc. it’s simple once you know the rules.
There’s a big push in the public sector to strengthen all this so I’ll be on a course soon I’d say.

Naki, all this is true but which changes do you think would have made a positive impact? Certainly at the time the only questionable selection was Scott but the armchair critics best friend is a little hindsight. Edit: I personally think very few positions would have made a difference. Smith at 15 m...

I recall Cruden having a shortish punt for maybe a season before it miraculously seemed to disappear? He was never going to match Carter but I always had the impression he worked hard on it and there was definite improvement.

I don’t see much gloating, though it probably explains the OTT responses I sometimes get when I say I think, as a nation, we did pretty well. I guess I don’t move in those circles, but I can guess how insufferable it would be, largely based on the Mong.
