@george33 Stevenson doesn’t make any sense for the Roosters. He won’t play centre and they already have Tupou and Young on the wings.
If it is an AB, it would most likely have to be a centre. Narawa has a NZ contract till 26. Tupaea is off contract 25 and so is Telea. Telea is 28 later this year so don’t think he would be a NRL convert either.

@gt12 I just don't no , but must be Stephenson
Isn't the knock on Stephenson his defence?
Was the knock on Marky Mark too and Roosters happily signed him....

Tupou is finishing 2026, but is already 33, I doubt he plays 1st grade as a winger until then suspect Marky Mark is back up here, but unknown at this stage

Oh good, Wayne Smith is still living in the past. The article is paywalled, but
Sir Wayne Smith has outlined his vision for New Zealand rugby, that centres on embracing the grassroots game, harnessing coaching innovation and the All Blacks prioritising attacking intent to regain the mantle atop the world.
So 2015 all over again, which has worked so well 2017+ 🙄

How the All Blacks became rugby’s cultural icons in Japan
'The players are very popular here. There is an aura about them ... it generates profile.'
Are Gregor Paul articles just A/B testing? There typically isn't much content.

The Breakdown had real analysis.
It’s like a different program with Beaver there.
Actually Interesting in his discussion of tactics and how the back line is almost working.
Oh cool I might watch it then
Be ready to use fast forward, especially when Shields is talking.

I think we need Chay Fihaki this weekend

I guess this is the good bit?

From 12:00 where they talk about Beaver's take aways
First on Barrett kicking, then from 14:30 discussing play off 9, then from 17:45 discussing our attack focused on the front man and maybe not getting the balance right with the back runner. -
So Kieran Read thinks that Savea will move to 7 once Cane leaves and Sititi will play in his best position - no.8. No one will disagree about the latter but Ardie will need to change his game a lot to fill that new role, i.e., hit rucks and clean, and tackle someone.
While Savea did pack at 7 when Finau replaced Cane it's what you do away from the scrum that is important in a loose forward trio.
