@Machpants from what I hear we are sticking to the fast game plan, Razor reckons he can execute it by the 27 RWC.
The players from Fosters team are getting the first shot and then others will be brought in when they don't cut it. -

@No-Quarter
Fair points.
It still doesn't excuse Sotutu not getting fitter when he had been asked to.
"he didn’t even get close"
(chchfanatic's sources have been spot on)I’d be fascinated to find out what Cotter would say about his fitness.
And if the Blues wanted more weight on their forwards given their game plan (which worked).
I am really struggling to see how the guy who was the best player in super rugby is apparently not fit. Logically, it makes no sense that someone can play that well despite apparently being unfit.
Or, from the other aspect, why wouldn't you put someone playing that well, unfit, into your systems and get them to your desired fitness?
Anyone know Kieran Read’s bronco times?

Anyone know Kieran Read’s bronco times?Read was quite poor by that metric I seem to recall. Made up for by McCaw being superb. Balance in the trio is key.

I agree completely. Which is why playing multiple 7s makes me shake my head

@nzzp 6 + 8 + 7 = 21
3 x 7 = 21
Same same...however, 6.5 x 3.... -

Same same...however, 6.5 x 3....Are you suggesting that one openside flanker is worth more than a whole front row combined??

Jerry Collins: (8 + 6 ) / 2 = 7
McCaw: 7
Rodders: (7 + 8 ) / 2 = 7.5No wonder they were so good = 21.5

i think the Blues guys are right, Dalton Papali'i is the guy we need
(7+20)/2 = 13.5 -

If Sititi plays a blinder against Japan I'd throw caution to the wind and swap Savea to 6 v England.
Sititi - Roigard/Ratima- DMac is quite a handful for any team to deal with.Yeah I don't see him being markedly better than Savea and certainly wouldn't be comfortable it being based off turning up against Japan. If so, why not promote all the players that perform against Japan?
It would have been smarter to trial players in the second Wobs test...

What if Oli Mathis makes the AB's?
(14+7) / 2 = 10.5
He would be the ultimate loose forward?this one? Looks useful

He;s an 8,7, 6, 12 --try adding that to your loose trio calculations!

Jordie is a natural centre in my view. What could’ve been….

with just a little more speed, he might well have been.
