RM Cadbury Man of Match.

Wtf

Jordie fucking awesome. If we see anyone but Samisoni at 2 and jordie at 12 for the big games going forward, in going to be very annoyed

And it’s not like we are short of options in the back 3 anyway

Sam Whitelock just signed some kid's forehead LOL

Lomax has scary cauliflower ears

Shittings, that was awesome! Randoms:
Dalton's defense
BBBR's everything
Lomax and DeGroot
Jodie's everything

NZ have evidently needed an injection of new blood for quite a while.

They hung on to incumbents in a few too many positions and got found out.

Samisoni, De Groot, Lomax are revelations.

Jordie at 12 has finally been tried and proven to be the answer. Its that simple.

Papalii was still motoring in 80th minute. Very combative in the tight.

Jury still out on left wing, centre and blindside flanker. Cover at lock needs minutes.

11 Ioane
12 Jordie
13
14 Reece
15 Jordan.

Beaudy is one of my all-time favourite Allblacks but for me starts at 10 or is on bench.

So getting Cane and Swain to make way for Jordie? Genius.

Why’s that? Do you know they haven’t?
I think the comment was that they had been doing some background work which they probably had.

Whats wrong with saying they been working a while? Genuine question.

Whoops sorry didn't see that Crucial had already asked.

Yeah, and, he should also mention they would never have picked him to start at 12 unless Havili was injured.

Do you believe its true? If Havili was cleared to play would JB have started at 12? Foster has never even moved JB to 12 during a match let alone started him there

I wonder whose idea it was to give JB time at 12 for the Canes, if Foster was behind that then fair play. However I suspect Jordie himself much like RI has wanted to return to his early career position.

Paekakboyz

@canefan jordie only mentioned his canes exp at 12 this season in the aftermatch interview, and that he'd been thinking about it. Nothing about purposeful prep or coaching

Frank

Jordie's emergence at 12 is the biggest positive for the ABs long term.
We have been searching for a strong player in this position for years.

KiwiMurph

Foster has been downplaying Jordie at 12 all year.

He was hardly very supportive of Jordie to 12 for the Canes.

This week when asked if he saw Jordie as a 12 or a 15 who can play 12 he said the latter.
