All Blacks squad - The Rugby Championship
-
Goodhue at centre makes no sense given our current "plan" because he is significantly less likely to beat a guy one-on-one.
-
@kev thats the thing, Ireland players were in sync, knew thier roles, knew the game plan, even when things went off piste, they knew what the likely play was going to be, extremely well coached and drilled, nothign hugely complicated either, just all reading the same page.
Just good rugby, played accurately at pace, total trust in one another.

I wonder how that happened,Good coaching,Leadership,structure and decent game plans may be.
Basically we are playing a sort of hybrid sevens game. -

Romano deserves a spot on form alone, but we are meant to be building for a world cup that he would be unlikely to reach

well lets go you've essentially got rid of no one except 1 prop (who should have gone anyway) and Dane Coles
the injured locks
And arguably our best player from saturdayrevo-fucking-lutionary

A big problem for me with the All Blacks is a lack of leadership for me (other than the obvious poor coaching) we have an ancient in Sam w, Cane who is a leader but barely starting and savea who's a great player but not realy a leader?
If we were to drop Cane then who would be captan? Whitelock? Then who, one he retires?
Think about the last cup we won, mccaw, Carter, C Smith, woodcock all great leaders...

@Crazy-Horse I would not know. I just know he is not a 2 five.

we should have got Ash Dixon in there a couple of years ago, leader (captain?), solid lineout and scrum and managed to make an average highlanders forward pack into a lineout maul weapon, not long term but could have brought some real stability to the forwards through the next RWC
