That Jordie DMac 15 and sub combination works well. Keep DMac away from 10 though
That will be difficult for the bench though. I think Mo'unga should get the 22 jersey to cover 10, but if they hand Dmac the 23 jersey, who is covering the midfield? Rieko? BFA?
Jordie and Rieko

@act-crusader He just needs to ask simpler questions: “Why do you think you won/lost? What would you have changed? What was the turning point?”
Yeah, I hate the way they state their opinion then shove the mic in the players face. If I was the player I'd just respond with "OK" and then wait for an actual question.

@stargazer said in All Blacks v France Test #1:
@kirwan Ah, yes, of course, Jordie!
I’d consider Jordie to cover 10 over DMac as well.

Put him out to pasture

I know we all know this...but seriously, how good is Rieko? England can only dreeeeeam of such wingers....instead they have to make do with Brad Shields...
He's a loose forward but ok, interesting analogy.

-
@rancid-schnitzel He got one from the sideline.

@stargazer said in All Blacks v France Test #1:
@kirwan Hmmm, not keen on that. Too much of an experiment.
Like DMac isn’t?
-
@shadowtrooper I wonder if Perofeta will reunite with Cooper?

Given they've got Brown on the left wing Shields is probably a chance if he wants to convert.

@kirwan I'm not keen on Dmac for the first 5/8 role at all. Mo'unga should be the 10 cover from the bench.
He’s too much of a step down. He’s far from ready.
Only really there because he’s the best of the rest, 10 depth is poor all of a sudden.

I think they plan to play beuadie 80 minutes each week ,
Much like they did with carter ,
Rolling the dice on dmac as cover , getting him experience at 10 to cover the emergency if it happens ,
But only comes on as a tactical replacement at 15

And get Jordie experience as first receiver, like Dagg and B.B. did from 15, and develop him too.

@kirwan Mo'unga too much of a step down? Not all. I guess you haven't seen much of him if you say that. Just lacking experience at test level, but he needs to get his test experience at some point, because he needs to be ready come RWC time.

3 - Taylor
2 - L. Whitelock
1 - J. Barrett -
And if beudan gets injured Richie starts , dmac stays on the bench

In very surprising news, BB has only kicked 4/9.
A tad harsh. They were all on the sideline. Should have nailed at least one of those though.
:::
Given they were pretty much all out there you would hope he’d adjust. He didn’t.
Yeah, it was ordinary, but it wasn't like last year when he was missing the easier ones. Jordies effort was a bit disappointing. He usually lands those.
