RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
The thing about Samisoni is that he is genuinely powerful ball in hand. He won't run wide and look pretty like Ardie or whoever, but he can go forwards against a set defence. Who else do we have like that?
Our lack of guys with that exact trait is the whole reason Frizzell has gone from a questionable squad selection to someone who is being spoken about as a reason for us losing games when he's not available. -

Re ST....is there anyone that has lifted their game under fozzie?....is there anyone that plays better for the AB's than in super anymore? feel like at most there are a few that play as well but several that seem to go down hill in the black jersey
I pondered this a while back. Everyone seems to go backwards.
Frizell?
But i remember that being a thing, players would be mediocre during super rugby, but light it up when they put the jersey on, Rokocoko & Nonu come to mind. Those were the days

jesus..2.5good games in 5 years/30 tests....

@Crazy-Horse Codie's form dropped off a big cliff, was persevered with and he found his way back to form, repaid the faith I guess...
The one that stands out would be Scott Barrett, otherwise everyone else is patchy at best.

calm down, the question was has anyone improved - Frizell? - meaning Frizell potentially, he's come out of nowhere this year as you've highlighted, but i'm not suggesting its a consistent thing yet

that's 242kg of thin, but I know what you mean!

forgive my studied ignorance but is it allowable to send the ABs out on the field but swap Rieko and Leicester? That would mess with Irish plans!

He's been pretty damn good in SR as well, so not sure if that counts
