Re: The All Black no.10 jersey

BB is struggling from the right side of the field. He looks to be kicking well from the left. Interesting observation. His acceleration into space might be the fastest I've ever seen from a FH. Have always argued that flat pace is not much use in rugby: it's how fast you get off the mark that matte...

Re: Bledisloe II: All Blacks vs Wallabies:MATCH THREAD: 27th

Fullback garnered a lot of attention last week and right wing was a little quiet, unfortunately Dagg wasn't at his best. Not saying he had a bad game, but why not put B Smith in the position thats receiving more attention.

He's just in better form, utilise him, I see the sense in the swap.

Re: RC: Wallabies vs All Blacks: MATCH THREAD: 20th August

Sublime first half from the ABs. So much of the attack revolved around Barrett. As good as Cruden's been for us, this bloke's better. He and A Smith were an electric combo in that first half. Aussies would have been more of a threat if they coulda held on to the ball. Never seen an international te...

So, in terms of the back row, I don't see any noobs being played out of position, unless injury demands it. So it's likely Squire will stay on the bench, or will only come on if injury, or if we are so far ahead at the 65 minute, and Read comes off. It's the backline which is more complex. If Moala...

No mind games with Savea being dropped, same with Kaino.

Room has to be made to give Dixon and Squire a run, Cane has to start with all these changes.
