Ioane R for FABJM

[Crucial]

<p>Has to be someone else at 6. Shields was too inconsistent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Taufua?</p>

[booboo]

Kaino had his moments at 6. As did Luatua.

[Crucial]

I didn't see the Crusaders game but going by reports Taufua was good. <br>
If we were playing guys out of position though I would select Leitch.

<p>If Leitch were eligible, you wouldn't need to pick him out of position, he was much better than Read this weekend.</p>

<p>R Ioane at 14, Lowe at 11 and Taufua at 6. Savea was better than he's been all season but I don't think he was as good as the scorecard made him look. And while Kaino had a good game, Taufua was the best forward on the field in his game.</p>

When I mentioned Luatua i thought he had gone to 6 when Ioane came on.

[Bones]

McNicholl did one or two good things but spent the rest of the game being pretty awful. Just no.

<p>I didn't watch the Landers game, but my NZ player of the week was Retallick. He was everywhere + effective.  The difference between him and Bird was chalk and cheese. Just a machine.</p>

<p>Yeah, he was huge.</p>

<p>Think you're being a bit harsh on Bird though, he's only just coming back from a long layoff, so should take a little while to get back up to speed. Maybe should've been eased back in from the bench but giving Allardice a rest after his enormous workload was understandable.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

Taufua was awesome I thought. Both he and Todd worked very well together. <br><br>
Reiko was very strong with the ball.
