    @Tim ENS has a big left foot.

    Didn't Narawa also produce some pretty impressive touch-finders in today's game?

    He did.
    I'd prefer TWO FUCKIN HANDS when running in tries though.

    And an AB winger should not be caught when running in an intercept. He was woefully slow.

    @george33 AJ Lam lol, nope. He’s well down the pecking order. If his brother wasn’t an AB he will never be.

    Depends what the selectors want from the bench. Ennor played tests because of his versatility not because of his specialist ability

    Didn't realize he was only 25.
    Step up from Ennor, that's for sure!

    He's not that far down the pecking order he's been in All Blacks XV before and is developing into a player that can cover midfield and wing - playing in a winning team and having a strong season.

    Hotham has to be close with Roigard injured, he’s been the best halfback in SR the past month

    If we pretend Funaki hasn't been playing.

    I would think Hotham is also the closest to Roigard as a running HB.

    He is proving to be quite smart in his decisions around when to run. I also like the way he is still managing to clear the ball while under pressure and at times actually having players hanging off him after they have come through the ruck.

    Yeah he has been very good the last 3 games.
    His running game adds a point of difference for us, his kicking is improving the 50/20 he nailed tonight is an example of getting better.

    His clearance is not top notch : it is clearly a work on. Ratima has the best pass among the NZ halfbacks : accurate and sharp.

    Random thought on the looseforwards.

    There were questions being asked of certain Sith loosies a few weeks ago, particularly (justified) queries about some extra weight being carried by a specific Sader.

    Not that he's playing badly but I wouldn't mind seeing the skin fold tests of his Blurs opposite last night.

    Both playing well, but neither make my first AB squad.

    At the end of the day, there are loads of good halfbacks around, and it probably doesn't matter which ones are selected.

    Highlanders fans will want Fakatava
    Crusaders fans will want Hotham
    Hurricanes fans will want Perenara
    Chiefs fans will want Ratima
    Blues fans will want Christie & Funaki

    Facts are, all are very good halfbacks with pros and cons, and I don't think it really matters which ones they pick... though personally I'd be looking at Fakatava, Hotham, Perenara and Ratima.
