@stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.
And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.
Fozzie can't risk doing that, remember how much shit Hansen copped in 2015 when they did that.
Who gives a fuck, it worked
Fozzie probably?

It's only the press and public opinion, NZR board do things their own way - that's all he cares about

@crazy-horse Bridge has been fine tonight, hasn’t done anything wrong and a lot of things well.
Someone’s clearly being drinking all day to make a post like this
He tidied up some ball, passed well occasionally, had ok ball security, has a good workrate. But we won't get many trys from his side and he shouldn't play against the top teams. Am wondering who should be our top 11s.. Big Leicester would have at least one try already IMO.
He knocked on 5m out from the ABs try line.

2nd one tonight, aiming for a hat trick

Dalton really looks like he'd be good against top teams as well. We really are gifted with 7s.
Nobody seems to be ripping crap off Akira so far so that must be at least a pass mark from him (but it isn't really a tough challenge at 6).
Am wondering how you can rank the 8s (Jacobson vs Sotutu) after tonight though. -

Fair enough, I change ok to sometimes.

@mariner4life is right about this - choose the two fastest and/or most dangerous players and then find a way to use them well. We’re too reliant on Mo’unga, BB and Dmac.
Time to get some Danger out there.

This game really is hard to make a rating of any player on.

I did not know he dated Jessica Biel.

I agree, but equally danger can be small and lethal - Cory Jane would have a couple of years where he might have been one of the most (more) dangerous wingers in the world.
