All Blacks Vs Springboks RC Week 2
-
At hooker, it was interesting and pretty surprising that Gus said he was backing his boy Samisoni to be on the bench (vs Coles) and that he thought Taylor had taken the mantle back (as number 1).
Different people and different groups obviously see things differently!!!

pretty excited to see Telea and Jordan on the wings....does go against my gut to have the a specialised player like clark on the bench and starting the more utility players

Yeah, DMac on the bench can cover 10, 15, wing - Clarke only really covers wing.
-
This is the issue when you pre-select sides. DMac misses out no matter how well he plays.
Matching size for size on our bench - makes sense but also risky if the backline isn't firing with no DMac to bail them out.
Would be really nice if Taylor & Mo'unga can bring their Crusaders form to black.

If Mo'unga shits the bed this week, where are we?
If he doesn't, where are we?
I don't get the selections with the WC really not that far away.
I don't get why they would start Dmac last week then drop him, despite being excellent.
Him on the bench this week, would likely give us far more danger.
I can't see much evidence of a plan, yet.
