Savea, Jordan.
That’s it. Akira was great in places but we lost the back row battle so I cannot give it to two from this area.
I went for bower as best rookie of the series
-
Bower, Akira & Ardie. Bubbling under, Will scored a great try but wasn't as consistent as those three. Reece also played well. BBBR had some moments too
Reiko wasn't good, neither were BB or Jordie and Codie Taylor stank.
-
Ardie top of the pops
Next tier - Reece, Akira
Then - Jordan, Bower

For me Savea,Jordan and Akira.
Same. The arrogance of certain Ferners who have a go at Ardie constantly amazes me as if there’s better players that he’s keeping out. He was immense. The other two showed fantastic sparks in attack as well.
Most others were various degrees of shithouse.

If it's time to drop Cane, Ardie to 7?

Pretty stunned at votes for Laulala. Didn't he have a hard in 2 Irish tries?
Yeah, he did. He still did well to play so many minutes and seemed to get better as the game went on. Still his mistake in our 22 was unforgivable. The good things he did did not outweigh that.

Why not keep Ardie at 8?

I'm thinking he's a 7 who's been shoe-horned into 8 as he's such an exceptional player and wonder if he's a better 7

I don't think it matters where you play him. He will play exactly the same way. You have to have Ardie in your team. It is just which two other players you want to pick. and what skillsets you want

And the missed tackle for his first involvement.
-
I'm having more trouble than last week to pick 3. At least last week Reece, Smith, Bower were all good and pretty much error free. Our best highlights reels tonight were probably Ardie and Akira, but they also made multiple knock-ons and other fuckups and went missing for long periods.
No votes from me. -
-
Savea 3
Akira 2Everyone else can fuck off
-
Savea showed his true worth as a 30 minute impact player, as long as someone fires him up before coming on.
Akira was anonymous until you realise it's him making runs and tackles, not Savea.
Bower tried his guts out, his only failing being part of an atrocious defensive system.

Would like to see Jordan from 15
My only worry there being he appears to make such poor reads on defence. But yeah like Bower I guess it's maybe not all down to him.

He does possess a massive boot though
So what does Jodie have over him?
Though what's the point of then getting another winger that we won't use

having only watched the 1st half, I will abstain from voting, cos I dont recall anyone at all deserving in that 40 mins.
