AB's v Wales

@pakman said in AB's v Wales:
@gt12 Suspect Read has been tighter partly in response to BBBR, Franks and Moody being out. Have noticed Squire has been loitering out wide, and scored a couple of nice tries as a result. Whitelock probably being asked to play a 'tight Read' game.
The roles have changed as when Kaino was the 6 he played tighter allowing Read to roam in the wider channels. This year Read has assumed the tighter role while Squire plays wider.

Why isn't Tipuric starting?
I didn't see the Wales-Aust game so have no idea how Navidi played.

Didn't watch much Crusaders in SR, but watched them v Lions. Was not impressed with Sam's captaincy in that game, at all.
Why?

Pretty small sample size then. I watched almost all of the 'Saders games and I was dead impressed with his leadership. One of the reasons they won it I reckon.

Another advantage to Luke Wgitelock is the partnership he has with Squire as a 6/8, they play week in, week out together. So there isn't much of a shake up with the loose trio by bringing him in. While he hasn't played much with Cane, he's probably played 25 games with Liam Squire.

First game back from injury.
Navidi went OK. Plenty of dog. Came on against Georgia and didn't have a big impact.
Solid club player who's had two good seasons but only there because of injury.

Big Sam is going to get a haircut and shave next week. He will look like his dad but with more hair. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/99243914/all-blacks-lock-shaving-beard-and-head-to-help-7yearold
