Josh Ioane has been brought in to camp.
Not good news, that’s Beaudy out I guess?

15 J Barrett
22 J IoaneI don't want Dmac anywhere near that first five position.

Good news in that the selection choices will be simpler, but bad news that Mo'unga will remain at 10.

he was never getting cut
And i don't mind that. He will hopefully learn a few lessons, either that, or given the time to prove he's not the guy. The bigger problem is, if he is not the guy, then who the fuck is? Jioane has "solid backup" written all over him. And that's it.

Someone needs to get experience. We don't want a situation where we only have one five-eighth.

@Bovidae I think that's good news. I prefer only making a few minor changes and just want all players to lift their game. Find an answer to the rush defence, go faster to the rucks, make your tackles. If the forwards and midfielders do their job well, they make it easier for the halves to do their job well.
It was only the first test match. Making too many changes, especially to the spine, after only one match, is just a bad idea.

this post could have been made any time over the past 3 years to be honest. and that is the real problem.

is it a case of he looks like a solid backup when surrounded by average Highlanders/Otago teams but when surrounded by AB's...
dont get me wrong, i know true superstars shine regardless, but something to think about

i thought we all decided he was no more than okay at 10? or are we just happy to have that level of output now?
