I love Sam Cane but

How does he fit in to our loose forward mix?

There comes a time when you just don’t select them as first choice anymore

[Stargazer]

Mo'unga so much better than BB. No aimless kicking, no lack of creativity.

[Chris]

Akira good tonight I am starting to be converted to being a fan.

Havili needed to hold that and take his medicine

Still first choice 7 for me. With Ardie or Paps off the bench.
6 Akira 8 Jacobson or Hoskins (if he can hit form)

Ethan Blackadder as general backup.

@sparky yeah he’s looking very good. Positives out of this game have been this loose forward trio and Havili playing well at 12.

Negatives are the commentators and over reffing

Was Jordan sub just tactical?

@mariner4life Jacobson looking like a young Read the way he goes about his work.

That last run is what I like. Looked dangerous, got tackled, still struggled to get 2 where others would have got nothing.

Been an average night for DMac

There’s a guy on the bench that can play a bit of fullback and his name ain’t Jordie…

Savea better against teams like Fiji, Cane arguably better against teams like England.

Don't disagree, and it's the conventional thinking, but

I'm talking in partnership with the strengths of Jacobson and Akira

I think Savea's initial speed matches better with them. I'm not sure who is better against SA, perhaps Cane first 50 then Savea.
And we have Dalton as well-we are so spoiled at 7.

[Kiwiwomble]

So Jordan is having an HIA?
