@antipodean then you clearly know very little about loose forward play
Clearly you could explain the massive amounts you know to us plebs please?
Even better if you could slip that info to Papalii, Cane, Savea, Blackadder, Jacobson.....

@antipodean elaborate?
On what? I'm not the one making the argument here.

Clearly. So he'd be behind Kirifi then? Kirifi missed fewer tackles against the Drua and made more metres carrying the ball. He must be the greatest openside New Zealand has ever produced!

Ok I do think Christie is no where near the AB’s,
But I am 6 Cans of Jack Daniels in and you are being really silly bringing up a useless nuffy like Kirifi,but I see your point. -
@Chris I use him to make my point. I've got form in saying Kirifi shouldn't be anywhere near an All Black squad.
Others have pointed out that a strong game against an opposition who struggles to achieve consistency means less than fuck all.
But against quality opposition like the Brumbies, Christie is riding the pine. Hardly a compelling argument to be an All Black openside flanker.

I know it’s off topic But I have just walked into the QLd cricketers club at the Gabba for a Brisbane Heat sponsorship function,First fluffybunny I see is Chris Lynne who whines to me about not getting his Heat contract extended,And I blasted him for not scoring enough runs and thinking he is better than the rest of the team last season gooood start should be fun.
Where is the bar -

No argument from me

I think Christie could be in the ABs conversation in a few years (he's only 24) if he was bigger. He's much better than he gets credit for, but he's too small. I think he's a fair few injuries away from a call-up, but I'd definitely have him ahead of Kirifi.
-
@antipodean for a start a number 7’s main role is turnovers and tackles. Try looking at Christie’s figures for both those stats in the games he has played this season. The only time you need a 7 that has to make you meters is if you have a 6 & 8 who don’t.
-
Yeah, those linking 7s are shit. Especially those who make dominant tackles.
Were you one of those people who kept clamouring that someone else should start instead of McCaw because he hardly made turnovers anymore?
-
@antipodean MaCaw was the greatest player to ever lace a pair of boots. As far as 7’s go in NZ rugby at the moment for playing style Christie is the closest to a MaCaw type of 7.

Mate just lost Billy Stankake to Tassie a few gutted people here after losing Symo.
Alfie Langer is here getting pissed so I hope he keeps his cloths on.
Alfie attends these as he tours with the QLd Bulls masters who raise money for local Cricket.
One I went to in McKay Julia Gillard was there she had a politicians table,Alfie got pissed Stripped naked danced on their table with his Wanger in Julia’s face.
Safe to say we lost a bit of funding for a couple of years after that.
Alfie always goes on tour with the QLd Bulls masters cricket boys along with Wendell Sailor
