Bledisloe I
-
Be good for Naholo to have a good game, IMO he has gone ok at this level, but not shown the kind of form he does at super level, he is great over the ball, the other area of his game I do worry about is attacking the high ball, he has done dumb shit there a few times.
So when Crotty gets injured, we will see a mid-field of Goodhue-ALB (which way round is the question)

To me the acid is on Beauden Barrett,he’s the player that’s got both Mckenzie and Mo’unga breathing down his neck,he’s on notice as far as I am concerned.
As for Goodhue I have no issues,especially when you hear the endorsements coming from many of the players that front up along side him.
I have no doubts that ABL and Goodhue will be a long term midfield combo just as they were in the 2015 AB under 20s.Based on form he shouldn't be worried about DMac
Based on AB coach thoughts and team selection he should

@stargazer yeah no shit - but it's the best i've got as a recap without watching that game again, i was more interested in who was actually playing and the individual recaps from that game (Crotty went off twice for a head knock / handling errors) than putting any value in the numbers.

@chris-b I think plenty of 'inside' pundits were picking ALB and JB, to me the bigger surprise is Naholo over JB.
ALB and Goodhue, dont think there is a huge amount between, and was probably the combo with Crotty that sealed it.

@taniwharugby Shag is working on getting a South Island XV out there as a step towards ACT's eventual masterplan!

Naholo's complete meltdown in the quarter final rewarded with a start in the first Bledisloe.
Jordie Barrett missed 7 tackles in the semi final. He’s hardly earned his place

@sammyc playing at 13
I still don’t think he’s earned a starting spot.

These fluffybunnies are fucked. Shit midfield is shit. Lucky they are playing Aus without their two best centres. If square-wheels Crotty gets burned by Beale I'll kick someone or something.
Team should be good enough to win.

Indeed. Hansen always likes to see his test side be able to perform at the pointy end of the Super rugby tournament.

I would have liked to see Richie M at least given a bench spot but hey-ho
At this stage I don’t think replacing beuadie mid game is in their plans unless injured ,
I’d like to see Richie get a start at some point though .
