NZ have evidently needed an injection of new blood for quite a while.

They hung on to incumbents in a few too many positions and got found out.

Samisoni, De Groot, Lomax are revelations.

Jordie at 12 has finally been tried and proven to be the answer. Its that simple.

Papalii was still motoring in 80th minute. Very combative in the tight.

Jury still out on left wing, centre and blindside flanker. Cover at lock needs minutes.

11 Ioane
12 Jordie
13
14 Reece
15 Jordan.

Beaudy is one of my all-time favourite Allblacks but for me starts at 10 or is on bench.

So getting Cane and Swain to make way for Jordie? Genius.

Why’s that? Do you know they haven’t?
I think the comment was that they had been doing some background work which they probably had.

Whats wrong with saying they been working a while? Genuine question.

Whoops sorry didn't see that Crucial had already asked.

Yeah, and, he should also mention they would never have picked him to start at 12 unless Havili was injured.

Do you believe its true? If Havili was cleared to play would JB have started at 12? Foster has never even moved JB to 12 during a match let alone started him there

I wonder whose idea it was to give JB time at 12 for the Canes, if Foster was behind that then fair play. However I suspect Jordie himself much like RI has wanted to return to his early career position.

@canefan jordie only mentioned his canes exp at 12 this season in the aftermatch interview, and that he'd been thinking about it. Nothing about purposeful prep or coaching

Frank

Jordie's emergence at 12 is the biggest positive for the ABs long term.
We have been searching for a strong player in this position for years.

KiwiMurph

Foster has been downplaying Jordie at 12 all year.

He was hardly very supportive of Jordie to 12 for the Canes.

This week when asked if he saw Jordie as a 12 or a 15 who can play 12 he said the latter.

You’re reading too much into a comment in your glee of having Jordie doing well.
It worked tonight and I hope it continues. He’s a much better option than Havili I will admit but he’s no “classic “ 12
Tonight was a game that was made for him to get stuck into and he was very good in getting going and involved.
I hope he can do as well against the sides ranked higher than 9th and I don’t mean that in a snide way, I do hope he can.

If I said the sky was blue you would argue its green. Sure the forwards showed up and set a better platform. But if you can't concede that the midfield looked much better with JB there we are just watching a different game
