If it were up to me I’d pick the two 7s boys (Tangitau and Carter) on the wing with Jordan at fullback.
Razor, an email will be coming your way
The way Jordan is playing this season reminds me of Jane at fullback.... just without the handling skills.
Or kicking skills.
Other than that you’re spot on
Jane's fast fend-jab was a thing of beauty. That guy wrested everything out of every ounce of talent he had. Loved watching him play.

I often wonder why players don’t use the fend more.
Jane was great at kind of pushing himself away from defenders rather than sitting them down.

Seems a suitable moment to talk about that time I marked him...

Although Jane had a tendency to spray them off the side of the boot trying to kick the leather off it.

Yeah you haven’t regaled us for awhile. Didn’t get a hand on him if I recall ?

Unfortunately not even close enough to get the fend. I blame Pow.

@MN5 Piri.
Right. Not sure how he fits in. Better tell the whole story again
Is this the breakfast story or is that @jegga?

No, although sounds like @Bones made a meal of things.
I’ll let him tell us…..

Haven't listened/watched yet but if Robinson is there then it's the latter

Clicked on it while making coffee, Robinson wanking on about Razor being a student of the game and no surprise he's gotten into coaching. Decided to switch it off and do paperwork instead.

There some comments from Robertson about overseas players. Sounds like he has been told to pull his head in. Lots of his usual management jargon but basically his fine with the current setup
He's a bit dim so I expect him to push for overseas players agin in a few months.. get told off.. reiterate his support for the current system.. repeat..

Scott Robertson changes mind on All Blacks eligibility, backs NZ Rugby's stance
Scott Robertson has thrown his support behind NZ Rugby's stance of not selecting players based overseas.
-
i don't think it's accurate to say Razor changed his mind on the eligibility, he always just wanted a broader case-by-case approach where guys who'd gotten say 30 or more caps (ie Mo'unga) & been playing in Super for many seasons prior would be given special exemptions to still represent ABs while playing over in Japan, no?
