@JC judging by DCs social media account, he keeps in good nick, could be another option...seriously though he seems to a bit of coaching and technique stuff, bring him in, Peter.Breen does.alot of good work re technique on Rugby Bricks too, not like these guys won't.have ideas
-
It's all been said but holy crap the two posters trying to claim ST hasn't been effective in the minutes he's played this series, I don't think I could possibly overstate how much better he is than Taylor in every single facet of the game.

We are complaining that our gameplan seems to rely on individual brilliance but then have two 10s that have always played that way.
I wonder if Perofeta, Zarn Sullivan or even David Havili might be better in those spots post World Cup.
Nope. I don't see a game manager anywhere there.

From fullback Zarn certainly managed the first Maori Irish game with his boot

I really like the RTS call. It’s a big game and he won’t be overawed. He has a bit of class to him but is a hard worker on both sides of the ball.
ABs by 8 and Coles to score the game sealing try.
If you watched the Warriors games you will see that Roger often made mistakes - and got pushed off in tackles. He has been the same with the Blues. So great attacking but has some issues. In such a big game it’s a big call.
I can (sadly) report that I watched every single one of RTS’s Warriors games. Yes I am tragic.
I think he reads the play well and is actually a better tackler when he goes low which is better for rugby as a 2nd 5 than a league fullback.
I’m interested in what the strategy is for his injection into the match. Barring injuries, when do they want him to come on.
Sometimes the big games need the big call 😉

@bayimports actually that's a good point about the bench
if we have two guys that will probably play 80 in the loosies why two on the bench? One lock will sit down, and SB will shift. who else goes?
In game one Cane subbed off didn't he?

@Stargazer said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
@Crucial Sullivan definitely has the potential. He needs time at 10.
Yep, of the names mentioned he is a possibility. Pity he isn't playing 10 though and is unlikely to if he stays at the Blues.
-
@ACT-Crusader yeah he is a great player. The skill set for rugby is different. Just think he is being rushed.
-
@JC said in All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider:
@kev But who is he intended to sub for do you think? Haven’t seen much to suggest he’s an international standard centre to sub Reiko, and if he subs Havili has he got a decent positional kicking game?
At this point he is only a 2nd five who can’t kick.

I think it’s hard to take you seriously when you have a profile pic that appears to be President Camacho!
I’ll pile in on the ST WTF? Aside from that, and it’s a big one - not like Taylor or Coles need more games, the 23 pretty much as I’d guess. I was sure RTS would get one go, the only thing is Sotutu, but the desire for BBSB
in at 6 meant that would be the case -

you should get down to club rugby and stand on sidelines in rain etc, gives you appreciation of what rugby is in real world.
lol fuck off
no nerve touched, i just wonder why people like you even come here?
Because I enjoy the sensible discussion about rugby when it's here. And although I not very good at getting across what I want and may seem harsh and everything , but I love the game and generally like talking to rugby people.
Mind you I will add of all the people who I know from rugby etc I am probably only one dumb enough to come into these forums lol, so perhaps that says something huh? -

again I say who ever said that about you? As I say abit defensive there sunshine. lol
Seems I said I don't like the idea that we don't give due respect and kudos to Ireland (and othet teams) and that got you upset etc, so with all due respect to you if that upsets you I think it says more about you than me. I will just carry on just the same thanks.
