How Wayne Smith's fingertips are all over New Zealand's 'Razor' blueprint
The iconic coaching sage will influence Scott Robertson's style of play as the Ian Foster playbook is ripped up.
If the article is to be believed, interesting that Razor would appear unwilling to incorporate anything of the recently successful Blues blueprint into his own

It’s an opinion piece from someone that is speculating on how Wayne Smith’s involvement could be influencing things.
With all due respect to Nick Bishop and his history with the game, I doubt he would know what’s going on from a tactical perspective.
-
The thing I do like about Perenara’s game is his support play. He and Ardie have worked extremely well especially when he runs off Ardies shoulder. He’s a good defender as well.
But his pass, sheeeesh. Expect to see quite a bit of left and right side with DMac and Jordie setting up to try and put some doubt in the English defenders minds because with his slowish passing the English loosies and locks will be shooting off the line.

Papalii, is okay , but is a poor man’s Cane at international level
-
Better balance of the loose forwards with others
-
@The-Docter I’m all about diversity, I like a diverse halfback who can pass and kick well, and put the ball into the scrum.
On this basis, one of our halfbacks isn’t as diverse as I’d like them to be.

But are they ginger?

@Machpants hahaha funny man

They should be with those injuries..

@Tim said in All Blacks vs England I:
Alright, lets assume that Scott Barrett and Caleb Clarke are out with injuries. Does Darry come on to the bench, or does Finau cover lock? Loose forward lineout options are poor as it stands.
Go for Darry. Any lack of experience is balanced by Finau's lack of experience at lock and it looks more to the future.

Given that some say Cane was a poor mans McCaw that makes Papalii as flat broke as it’s possible to be…..
