...why would we ever have greyWe shouldn't ever, ever! If the French aren't pissing around with their blue then it is only the Scots that screw it up.

question, thoughts on the AB's alternate strip, do we feel as strongly about a white strip as we do the All Black? would people consider something with some Maori motifs? white with Black and Red?
I believe an AB jersey shouldn't be messed around with too much, however I reckon some subtle Maori designs on the white strip could be quite cool.

Silver isn't a colour it's a metal - grey is a colour. Just the same as gold is a metal, and yellow is a colour.
It confuses Australians all the time.

It cracked me up when I learned that the colour Aussies insist on calling Gold (from their beloved Green and Gold) had a Pantone code with the name 'Yellow'

@Crucial "Canary Yellow"
Sadly not.
It is (according to Pantone) a part of the Yellow spectrum and I will admit that it is closer in composition to a shade called 'Golden' (as opposed to Gold) than to pure yellow.
But it is still yellow. -
If Rieko wants to be a centre then we have to judge him as a centre, rather than his body of work on the wing. If that's the case then no way he starts ahead of ALB and JG, he's just not in their class yet despite his obvious talent. He's on the bench for mine, coming on in the final 20 to get some experience in the position and wrecking some havoc. We shouldn't move him back to wing as he will never settle and realise his potential in the midfield otherwise.
At the moment we simply don't have a world class right winger. Jordan has the attributes but there are questions marks over his defense. So Jordie it is for now, as much as I'd prefer him at 15.

I have liked your post for the bit about Rieko but disagree that Jordie has the attributes to be a world class wing.
Even his brother recognised it last week when he made inroads down Jordie's flank, looked at him and took contact instead of passing and watching him get bundled into touch. -

spot on, and England in the final - they shot their load the week before.
And in RWC2015 England suffered from premature ejection...
Or premature expectation..

Wait what? You’re applying one rule for Rieko and then ignoring it for your boy JB.

@KiwiMurph said in Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October:
The problem for Rieko is if he's only looked at as a 13 then he comes under real pressure from PUJ.
With the current backline it is difficult to have the right balance on the bench. You could argue that DMac isn't needed as JB can cover fullback, and BB covers 1st 5. But then would you need both Ioane and PUJ on the bench? Rieko has to cover wing as well as centre in the 23.

Well if we keep playing a slow fullback at 14 we aren't going to find one! Is he better than Jordan or Reece at 14? Because he is not, arguably, being made great use of as a 2nd fullback and his kicking in Bled 1 wasn' perfect.
(PS I am not a Jordie hater-he's got some useful skills to add into a game). -
I'm watching Goodhue in Bled 3. Considering there is R. Ioane and PUJ at 13, and ALB is arguably currently a more consistent, better 12 than JG...plus if they bring back Laumape at 12 in an upcoming game..combinations..
