RWC Week 4: All Blacks v Italy
-
if we play BB enough, eventually he will hit some form right?
Aside from losing a yard of pace, he still has the tools, it just seems like his execution is off on a number of aspects.

playing a couple of left wingers?
Telea can play 11 but was usually at 14 during SR
shows how much SR I watched...
edit, think he also played at 14 v Scotland (with CC at 11)
He also played 14 vs England the next week
-
@taniwharugby say that again slowly...he's slower...and not executing well....so what tools does he have?
-
-
@george33 a Blues back three.... no chance of that happening.
If it ain't Jordan it will be Lester getting a trot, not Clarke.
-
@Canes4life I actually think it will, Clarke fully fit now and Beauden and Talea a lock in , not sure on Jordan ? He didn't train on Friday
-
@Canes4life I wouldn't be so sure - for some reason Foz loves Clarke

didn't you hear? he's next Lomu
-
I was a wee bit concerned after the French game but I think it'll be a pretty easy win. But I'd be shitting bricks if it was any of the other 6N teams.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I’m always nervous pre the big games just the level fluctuates or ebbs depending on the opposition. Italy would have previously been lower range but with Wallabies poor results, and we only just beat them in the lead up games this year, and our poor discipline of late it’s gone up a notch or two. Am hoping a strong win of course , they can do it, but ….please Lord no red cards!

@Kiwiwomble maybe you should read what I said again, slowly?
Fullback tool box:
Pace
Long kicking game
Short kicking game
Passing game
Eye for a gapSure he isn't quite as quick as he was, but still pretty quick, he has those other skills, but something just isn't clicking for him, nor has it for a while, not least consistently anyway.

it was a tongue in cheek comment mate....but thats not what you said, you said he's not executing well in a number of aspects, if you think he has a good short and long kicking game, a good pass and can still hit a gap...what are the aspects you think hes not executing well?
I would also say he's lost more than a yard of pace....several comment from the game last week about how slow he seems
-
@Kiwiwomble I said he still has the tools, just his execution is off...not sure whats different about that or you are arguing about.
He is off his game, he may never get back on it, but currently, he stlil has the tools to do the job
-
@taniwharugby the difference for me is in my mind the only ones that have the tools are the ones that are using them....if your not doing shit on game day....then you cant say you can do it

On flip side Cane and Lomax not, which isn’t really a surprise. Tamaiti will be on bench because Newell and Lomax don’t play LH.
