Perofeta doesn't seem to be the answer either. I support him being around as a 15/10 understudy but dont think he is the goods to replace JB at 15.
Real pity that Zarn Sullivan is injured and also that he will see little time playing at the Blues behind BB and SP.
If he had been given a chance on this tour I reckon he may have changed the whole picture. Excellent 15 with a huge boot that covers 10.Perofeta doesn't look the answer, and wasnt given a chance. Looks about 10KG's too light from my barstool.
Its mental. Havili looks a decent calm bench 15 for me, but he has been thrown in as a test 12.

Although if everyone has different boot colours it does make it easier for the defence to communicate. "I've got green boots" etc. Although probably less of an issue when theoretically everyone should know their opponents names: "I've got Michael Lawes" etc
I can't think of anytime in 35 odd years as a player where I've needed to use boot colour.

Good for you dude. Is that because the beer league you typically play in has mismatched jerseys?

Maybe we will see Ruben Love competing for the 15 jersey next year. He has been outstanding against Ireland A. The AB XV back three (Love - Stevenson - Lam) looked superior to the AB trio (BB - Reece - Clarke) which played against Wales.

Jerseys. Plural of jersey. Meaning more than one. "The opposition are wearing mismatched jerseys because this level I'm playing at is atrocious".

@pakman surely some super coach out there will start playing like that just to differentiate their team...5 teams all trying to play the same way will get us no where. Joseph started his time at the highlander on the back on a dominant aggressive pack so im sure it can be done again

From personal experience, coz it's all about me me me, I had an inner ear inflammation 10 or 12 years ago.
I suspect there are degrees of these things, but this hit me out of the blue, was the most unrelentingly unpleasant experience (imagine the most intense dizzy spell from the worst hungover of your darkest nightmare), and took months to fully resolve.
Acute vestibular neuronitis was the doctorism used.
No specific cause, but likely result of irritation from cold or flu.
I just wish him well.
And Will had covid earlier this year so may be related.

for Jordan, is it inner ear? could also affect balance.

One one hand: why don't the ABs have more personality?
On the other hand: Why don't they all have black boots? Discussing!
Absolutely discussing but when you are given your boots for free you take what you are given.

I had very similar/same thing skiing this year. Definitely affects balance. In my case the odd thing was skiing itself seemed fine, but when I came to a stop I was prone to falling over.
No infection/covid, so cause unclear, but had a fall a day or two before it started so jarring might be a factor.
Something to do with little crystals in inner ear and which when you move make some internal hairs twitch and those provide a sense of balance (or not).
