That's the whole problem in the way the 10-15 combo works at the moment. Barrett as the senior player is way too dominant. That was esp clear in the first half. It's not just a matter of RM taking control; it's also a matter of BB letting him take control.

So it's not working

Pick BB at 10 and Smith in his best position. That works.

No, keep RM and BB at 10 and 15. BB should allow RM to take control. Drop BFA and give Ennor the starting 14 jersey.

So it BBs fault that RM is playing poorly. Got it.

Hilarious

@mariner4life Haha, pot / kettle.

I had a bad feeling when I saw the recent ad campaign. Perhaps we could paint the front row on the side of a plane in time for next week....

@Kirwan RM wasn't playing poorly.

I think this might be the next nail in the Fozzie coffin too, even a RWC win might not save him at this point.

If ever there is a silver lining, this is a bloody good one!

[Stargazer]

@mariner4life If you know another winger in the squad that isn't a Crusader, please tell!

[Mokey]

@taniwharugby God I hope so. Even the thought of Foster head coaching the AB's gives me hives.

Yes, that chip kick in the 22 to nobody was awesomeness

[Duluth]

@Jaguares4real

Ennor would be my pick. But he should've had a good run before now.

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan You love twisting my words. Why don't you focus on someone else on the Fern for change?

[akan004]

Hansen should have walked away after 2017, as originally planned. The team needed freshening up then. They look stale. Sometimes listening to the same voice for too long will do that, it also doesn't help when his assistants are rank amateurs.

Does really suck that they played so awfully in a match honoring SBL.

Yeah, that might be the most disappointing part of this whole bloody fiasco

[Mokey]

@Donsteppa OTT ad campaigns, hmmm there is this odd memory of that before something that never happened...

[mariner4life]

No team has won the world cup with a poor forward pack. Right now we have a poor pack. Savea, astoundingly, is our best forward, by a bit. We are so vulnerable

Here's the highlights. Enjoy!

[KiwiMurph]

Any update on the Goodhue injury?

Can someone ban this guy? Please?

Also, the point is we’d way rather a rookie at 14 than a rookie at 10.
