    @Tim be annoyed if they drop Tupaea for Havili, Tupaea earned another chance to start, Havili offers versatility so is actually a good option off the bench.

    Would love to see RTS in there somewhere.

    He may be better off in the All Black XV if they don't want to give him any minutes in this series or the Rugby Championship. The fact they brought in the hopeless Ennor tells me they don't have too much faith in him yet which is a bummer, he could not have done any worse than Ennor.

    @Old-Samurai-Jack said in All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test:

    Havili seems to have taken the main brunt of the ABs failing at the end of the season last year while others have been more "teflon-like" in regards to fan dissatisfaction. QT didn't fire a shot at the end of last season either. Havili has shown he is a quality 2nd five at the beginning of 2021 test season and in the final stages of 2022 SR where he was the complete package.
    I am not sure he is the best in combination with BB though.......

    Yeah, it's kinda strange how Tupaea is all of a sudden to the manor born, after playing well against a crumbling Ireland, but DH is dismissed because he was only good against Aus.. Yet QT amounted to sweet fuck all last year too. I'm pretty confident even Bridge would have looked a star last week.

    Wrong, RTS is to the manor born, and come the RWC he'll be a lock at 12 partnering Rieko. In the meantime QT offers a lot more than anyone else.

    That's a bit like saying SB offers a lot more at 6 than anyone else.

    I’m hoping that Ennor’s performance has finally convinced them that his ceiling is Super.

    SB offers a lot more than Brodie at lock, which is not something I ever thought I'd say

    Why? So he can miss tackles and drop the ball a bit wider out?

    He was a bloody good winger. Moving him to centre has "ruined his career".

    One space further out than wing would be ideal.

    Ennor actually looked pretty promising on the wing for a while there. Shifting him around hasn't helped him

    Didn’t he start at centre (below international level)?

    I only recall him as an excellent wing for the Crusaders.

    Can't complain about the results but I was hoping Razor would play Leicester at centre and Ennor at wing rather than visca versca.

    When he first appeared he made a couple of breaks from centre and was anointed a great prospect.

    Both Razor and the AB coaches seemed to have it that way eh, was really puzzling as to what us observers were missing there.
