Crusaders v Highlanders

@chester-draws said in Crusaders v Highlanders:
Todd is also six years older. He didn't get picked for the ABs until he was Savea's current age.
Since then Todd has got better, but is now unlikely to improve much more. Savea might well improve considerably in the way Todd did.
In a close call you'd always go with the younger.
Todd is still getting better. Why is he unlikely to improve much more....because he's already way better? Savea is unimproving.

I guess I should concede then. Savea is much better at the facet of providing stats with no clear relevancy due to a lack of context.
Obviously relevant to Hansen. But what would he know.
So you don't have the stats nor what level they're from? And now you're saying those are the exact stats that Hansen selects on? Didn't know you had the inside word!

@toddy should include Cane in those to, to prove that they are all but meaningless.

@bones teams with George Bridge in them seem to function better than teams with Reiko Ioane

If only someone would post that hat recipe I'd be tempted to comment.

@taniwharugby Why are they meaningless? I get they don't tell a full picture as each team plays to different patterns. But Hansen picked Savea again (could well drop him for the Championship) and he didn't pick him based previous form (as he has fuck all). Savea is obviously ticking some boxes that some here simply don't want to acknowledge.
-
@toddy because Canes stats look more in line with Todds than Saveas.
-
I love that we’re all backing Hansen. The same Hansen that won’t play Akira over a guy that played 14 minutes off the bench tonight....
-
@act-crusader Wouldn't be the fern if we couldn't change our reasoning for different players.
-
@taniwharugby And how shit was Cane in the first two French games. He was well below his usual high standard. Maybe his stats could be have been used as an indicator of that performance.
-
@toddy and how shit was Ardie in his minutes too?
JUst showing that stats mean jack shit when you move from Super rugby to INternational rugby, plenty of players look awesome at super rugby (Naholo) but struggle with the next level.

Or that he was straight in after a few weeks out injured for the Chiefs.
Looked underdone.

@taniwharugby Best forward on the park in the 2nd test (though fairly low pickings) and looking likely in the 3rd before his injury.
