Credit to Razor, he's got this side humming. Very AB like in that you think you are in it, then make one mistake and they make you pay almost immediately.

@canefan I dunno about greater than the sum of its parts, it's mostly made up of all blacks. But best SR team by miles
There are a bunch of guys who aren't ABs yet, I'm not convinced they are all of AB standard, but they play very well in the team framework

So why is DMac in the AB matchday 23 and Mounga not?
He is Lima, clearly they don't see him as an impact player. He could shut a game down though

That was my biggest gripe with the side vs France, but then DMac actually played OK. Mo'unga is miles ahead of him as a starting 10 though.

Crotty traditional HIA
He just needs to keep it together until after RWC19. He is one big one away from career end

Thats what i dont get. Mounga has a ton of attacking ability and a heap of pace. I dont see why he couldnt be a bench impact player.

You'd think the BB/Mounga combination (with BB dropping back to 15) would be better than the BB/DMac combination too.

I think he's a far better runner and counter attacker than Lima. I don't buy that he can't be an impact player off the bench, he breaks tackles for fun.
Per 80 minutes, Mo'unga is close to DMac for attacking stats for a 10.

They are in love with DMs razzle dazzle. But if BB went down after 15 minutes I know who I'd want on the bench

They see him as a starter, not an impact player. That's what I meant

Can someone explain why BB's too short attempt resulted in a Canes scrum please?
For me it's lost control of the ball in the field of play, knock on Canes.
Should have allowed advantage to Crusaders or scrum feed Crusaders?
