All Blacks 2024

Random thoughts after tonight's Sith v Canes. Not comprehensive. And very random ...
Felt this game was only NPC level. Very few ABs or potential ABs on display.
Usually Sith have multiple ABs on the bench ... they kinda did this time but they Used To Be ABs. A step below what you expect.
But less about the game, more about future selections:
1 . Grace falls down my rankings. Didn't offer much.
2. Still wating for Lakai to impress. Goes ok at this level admittedly... but otherwise unimpressive.
3. Macca Springer has a future.
4. Bald Sader openside (forgot his name) is forgettable.
5. Sader's hooker Bell is anonymous..Other random thoughts as they come to mind.

Yep Grace had a big shift he played well.

Grace as well as scoring a great try,Pinched a couple of Canes line outs,Pulled of some big hits a lot of the defence was lead by Grace.He ran at the line hard bent it a few times.Best game he has put out in sometime.
I am not saying he played his way in to AB contention on one game but if you were really watching you would seen a lot more than a try. -

Agree he had a good game last night. He's been well off the pace in the first three weeks though. Gardiner has been worse so not many commented on Grace
Yep that's a Fair call.

have a read of this tripe
did i blink and miss where RM somehow turned in to this all-conquering test match 10 we desperately can't live without?
Even the rest of the list of names he references sounded like last year's news.

@mariner4life so it appears to me that FAS isn't a barrier to being a "sports journalist".
-
@mariner4life I was wondering what I missed too. He was a bloody good 10 on his day, but I missed the bit where he was going to drag us to wins we couldn't otherwise win.

Made Flanders look like a chump.
The only thing Grace has done for about a year and a half.

Is the writer a rugby fan or just taking the mickey? Very wishy washy article and no real thought of the consequences of what he was writing.
Hamish Bidwell is probably the worst rugby writer in NZ and there’s plenty of competition

@Duluth He doesn't deserve the time of day. How do clowns like him get jobs in the media?

Probably cos he looks good compared to a typical journo who writes for stuff.co.nz
-
@mariner4life Yeah don't get me wrong, he was the best option we had in the last cycle, but he's a step down from our great 10s we've had.
We'll be fine without him.

Ding ding ding. Bidwell should not be taken seriously. Ever. He's like Rattue-lite
