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.

Not bad for a couple of munters from Levin and Mataura respectively.

We can't all be style icons from Khandallah with creepy 80's leather jackets.

@mn5 phew, what a mistake to make, thanks for correcting me.
I realise it's probably all the same to cellar dwellers from Eastbourne but Khandallah is more old money than Kelburn is.....and they don't have cable car tracks to walk up home when pissed either.

Reports that Wales will probably be the ABs 2020 first opponent:

So in the last few weeks there have been reports of both Ireland and Wales touring NZ in 2020. Interesting. Sounds like NZR is quite busy negotiating while that dumb League of Nations tournament is still on the World Rugby table.
Would it kill the fucken Scots to get off their arses and come here?
