A sauce is a well known TSF point, place or person from which information originates. From the days of @BartMan
.Yes, aware of it, but I struggle to get much information from condiments as a general rule.
Only a general rule. That's why they're special.

Remember this is a squad for 2020 so he's got plenty of time to become a very good LHP. The other options could be Joe Moody (but a bit too old by 2020 or will be earning money in the NH), Big Karl T, Aidan Ross and Hodgman. Surely a bit too early for Tamati Williams. Who do you see there ?

@cgrant Your love fair with Ofa T at LHP is ridiculous, he is not a Test standard LHP!! THP definitely.
the entire nothern tour begs to differ

Problem is he is very inconsistent, as for the Northern Tour it wasn't exactly a screaming success. The refs played a big part in our wins.

dude you are all over the shop.

@mariner4life I'm just not some little fan boy. If you think the ABs played well on the Northern Tour then your standards are low.
Call it for what it is!

Weird, you start off on Ofa and somehow invent an argument about m4l being a "fanboy" about the ABs playing well on the northern tour. OK then...

looks like a classic fern argument right there...appears one of the 2 posters has mis-read the others post...cos it seems they were saying the same thing (ABs were not that good on the NH tour)

Isn't it spelt 'fanboi'?

Backs will be fine. We have enough core young players that will carry through a cycle (Mounga, TTT, ALB, Goodhue, Reiko, DMac)
A good mix of pace and strength and loads of talent with minimal showboating. (DMac, for example, may make the odd wrong decision but a selfish player he isn't).
That backline could be very, very special.

Have you never seen Reiko Ioane score a try?

@mn5 Any winger since Wilson you mean.
Stu or Jeff?
I figured the stoic, unsmiling jog back to halfway ended with Goldie’s excitement.

@kirwan I used to love the way Stu Wilson, John Kirwan and Jonah Lomu hardly celebrated, even after scoring spectacular tries. They'd jog back to the half way as if scoring Test tries was the most natural act in the world for them. As someone put it "Does the postie celebrate delivering a letter?"

No one poker faced better than Cullen even after stepping seven Scots in his second ever fucken test match !

He shelved most of the in black didn't he? I remember the raised fists in the '95 Bleidsloe in the same corner as the Greegan tackle and that shocked look at the MCG but not much else over the top. At the time Zinny was celebrating droppies and Fitzy was pretty cheeky with celebrating his tries around that point too.
Didn't even think the celebrations got over the top until that saluting stuff filtered in from the Canes.

Nah, I blame Carlos Spencer and Justin Marshall. Both of who used to grin like drunk possums after scoring. Los and Meg brought a whole metrosexual vibe into the ABs camp that they're still struggling to recover from even 20 years later.
