Jesus makes you feel old when little kids who used to turn up to training with dad are representing NZ. Go on Salesi!
He looks pretty good. The droppsie was a fuck up but he looks to have that special balance on his feet that enables him to go on after a tackle attempt. Could be a goodun.
We are missing a stepper / ball player in the middle to create some doubt in the opposition defence (Koroi). We are going wide early most of the time and it's a bit predictable.
Our defence has also been a bit weak (that call on a high tackle for Curry was bullshit).
Why they made that hothead Baker a co Captain....seriously? The Fijian should get a game off for the shove in his face though.

@machpants Nothing that wasn't expected.
They've added quite a few new players the last two tournaments, because we're missing quite a few players, either to injury or the NZ U20s: Joe Ravouvou, Caleb Clarke, Vilimoni Koroi, Andrew Knewstubb, Joe Webber, Ngarohi McGarvey Black, Trael Joass ...
We've got nothing to play for the last two tournaments because we can't finish higher than 3rd anyway, and would have to play a lot worse to drop to 4th. The last two tournaments are a good opportunity to develop players and to give the newbies valuable game time against good teams.
