MotM vs Ireland
-
I'm wondering whether Read has fully recovered from his back injury. Apparently that sort of an injury takes at least a year to come right post surgery. Look back at the Lions series last year, the guy was immense so am not convinced that he is fully fit atm.
-
@akan004 I guess you have to trust both the player who knows his own body and limits and the medical staff...you could look at Brodie as being under done or not quite there yet, Goodhue had gladular fever about a month or so back, even Coles doesnt look fully comfortable running, Squire has been in and out all season, is he at the right fitness level to be playing, is big Kark at the required fitness levels, admire him for what he has achieved, but didnt quite look up with the pace of the game yesterday (although after being demolished in that 1 scrum he hit back nicely before being subbed off)
But if the player says he's right, passes whatever tests they have to measure....
-
@taniwharugby Agreed, but I seem to remember Read saying that he won't be fully recovered until next year. I could be wrong.
-
@snowy He made these comments last month, just checked. Yeah, he seems to think he's a hundred on the field so I take back my comment.
"The back's 100 per cent when I'm out there playing,"
"Just travel and a few things can stir it up so it's not 100 per cent.
"It's about 12 months before you actually start feeling like you were before, so I've still got a few months to go in that process but I look after it really well and it's all good."

He played pretty well and was very physical for the crusaders after his layoff.
He looks to be on his last legs at the moment tho.

So that's the problem, clearly the Crusaders are working him too hard.

Playing against Ireland in Ireland is a wee bit different to playing for the Crusaders in a competition where the Crusaders have by far and away have the most stacked forward pack in the competition.

S. Barrett, Crotty, Todd.
Closely followed by Mo’unga, Goodhue and Franks.
Whitelock, Read and Taylor let the side down this week.

You didn't think Savea was one of the top 6 players for the AB's??

First time ever that I can remember, two days after the All Blacks played not a single All Black made the Planet Rugby team of the week.
8 Irish. 8.
For a 7 point win. That’s quite the back handed compliment.

@majorrage amusing thing is, if we had won by 25, I highly doubt they'd select 5 AB's let alone 8!
