The flakiest player in NZ who shouldn't be anywhere near the 46 gets a start lol.
Who is that? Jordie?
Mud sticks for sure. Jordie is so far ahead of DMac right now it's not even funny, especially when it comes to the attributes you want at test level. But I'm sure every single little mistake he makes will be poured over as proof he's unreliable.
Please differentiate. Kinda insert either of those two names here.
Yeah, that could have been applied to DMac even in the year he was tearing it up in test rugby. JB hasn't had that year in test rugby yet but hopefully he can build on his Super form and have it this year.

@No-Quarter I don’t think it’s fair to judge Jordie properly until he’s in his rightful position.
It’s a shame Foster is a tugboat. I mean what he’s shown with these selections is that Super Rugby form means f all. You can’t go and say Jordie is the best fullback in NZ three times in a midweek press conference and then not give him the opportunity when it arises. Such a plonker.

Just listening to Fozzie and he says about Jordie...'No doubt he was the form 15 this year, that's why he's on the field'
But he's not playing 15 you twit!No doubt Jordie will be given a go at 12 or 13 at some stage...

@Frank said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:
Why not Will Jordan at 14 and Jordie Barrett at 15??
D Mac can be on the bench (at best)If they'd brought Jordan in, there wouldn't be any 10 cover. McKenzie had to come in but shoulda been on the bench with Clarke promoted. And on that, given Bridge can play fullback, he should be able to play on either wing.

Coaches are always reluctant to make too many positional changes because of one withdrawal. Reece to the right wing would have been the obvious choice.
And DMac to the bench/ALB out? Need a 10 replacement somewhere
Can't drop a guy out of the 23 out of choice.

Cullen: 7 tries in his first two test matches. Dead set legend.
If he was available, you wonder if Foster would pick him at 13.

Depends how his ball holding form is these days.

Simple Aussie game plan - hurt Mo’unga
Who goes to 10 if Richie Mo'unga goes down in the second minute? DMac, TJP or Jordie. None fill me with confidence as Test First Fives.
DMac
The thought of that would give me nightmares
Good to see Fozzie has turned a corner from the madness of 2019 oh wait.....

Has ever actually played FB at a decent level or is this some Cantab fluffer myth to make George appear to be more than just the white Zac Guildford?

Wouldn’t make the team if Ben Atiga was available...

Played there for Canterbury quite a few times and filled in there for the Saders and an in-game replacement for injury.

His rightful position is 12.

This actually deserves repeating

There are some positions in a rugby team where the players can influence the result more than others.
Stating the obvious they are openside flanker, number 8, halfback, first five and fullback.
JB is the best FB in NZ. JB to fullback DMac to wing. DMac injury cover first five. The selection thought process is awry.
