Awww bro, bloody good stuff. Here we all are thinking it's been a bit of a shit year and our no8 is ordinary and you go and cheer us up by saying imagine if Read hung on another year.. you're right it could always be worse 😬
It would have taken the pressure off Fozzie and stopped him making stupid early calls that may have worked out differently. Or maybe that should be "reinforced previous expectations"...

Huh? Are you saying Cane shouldn't be captain and Savea should be starting openside? Only change I can see if Read stays is we get a captain that's about the same and an even less effective 8, most likely with Cane starting and Sotutu not even making the bench (they're hardly gonna have a specialist 8 on the bench when the 8 is the captain).

People need to realise that Savea is no longer a no.7. He doesn't play there anymore for the Hurricanes.
So for the ABs, he either starts at no.8 (as currently) or is the best option on the bench to provide cover in the loose forwards and used as an impact sub (my preference). But no chance Savea starts at openside unless there are injuries.

A little harsh - I would speculate that if Read had hung around another year that we could have worked out who was our best option at 7 rather than starting Captain Cane and moving Ardie between 6 and 8 when he's neither while Sotutu would have probably got a similar amount of game time.
Which then questions why you'd name Cane captain if you weren't sure what the rest of the loosies would look like.
But I guess that was Faster starting as he meant to go on.

Imagine things going wrong and seeing those wild, staring, panicky eyes again...

Did that game secure us the Tri-Nations for the year?
Unless the Wallabies beat the Pumas by 101 or the Pumas beat the Wallabies by 90something.
93 I think is the requirement. No probs

If so, Fozzie has won the Tri-Nations and secured the Bledisloe for the year.
Job Done...…..That last bit serious?
A draw and two losses. That is a poor AB season.
We were lucky things went our way, rather than us being good (i.e Aus RG draw, one of them wins that and it all on the last match).

I should have thrown in a few more ………...'s ?
Well the job of securing the Bled and winning Tri-Nations is done. I didn't say it was done well

Fair enough, wasn't sure.

considering even the games he starts, he is most effective in the last quarter, while generally doing little for the rest, the evidence is really starting to stack up that he should be the impact sub
But i think he is locked in to the starting XV for the foreseeable future

@mariner4life Yeah I’ve been converted to this idea. Cane is a rock, we need it at test level. Add in Akira (with more tests) and another big bastard in 8. Ardie can cover all 3 off the bench, get him on to blow holes in defences late game

The All Blacks are Tri nations champions. Well done Fozzie.
