We are due a good game of rugby with the South Africans.
2023 Twickenham was dire and so was the WC final.
Two of the most mistake ridden , disjointed games of rugby I've seen involving the ABs.And the refereeing/tmo involvement was a thundering disgrace.
I will never have that match mentioned without saying it.
Im still fucking seething over it.

The better question is which part didn’t they get involved with? -

Yup. They bottled it. Give Frizzlemynizzle the straight red he deserved and we’re probably not having this convo.

Will be interesting to see if post McDonalds departure there are some bold(er) selections going forward.
Barrett to 10, Jordan to 15, Ratima to start etc.
What the fuck would be “bold” about putting Barrett back in at 10??!!!
Ratima
DMac
Clarke
ALB
Proctor
Jordan
J BarrettIoane and B Barrett off the bench for final 30
Now that would be bold

Will Smith? I think you'll find he supports the Men in Black.

Maybe bold was the wrong word.
He was selected as a 10 in the squad.. I was more alluding to the fact it would be bold to get 3 of Jordan Telea Clarke and Reece on the pitch at the same time.

@Jet our rugby writers do no analysis.
Q: why did Foster et al. also pick him on the wing? What are his weaknesses in tests at fullback? How is his linking and decision making? There's just nothing there to support anything ... this is puffy clickbait

Thats fair, but at some point we need to see Jordan or Love or AN Other at 15.
We dont know his weaknesses at fullback in tests, because he has had no meaningful minutes there. He is Schroedingers fullback.
Foster picked him on the wing for the same reason they picked Cory Jane or Ben Smith there. The old power winger on one, footballer on the other combo. It's also seen as a lower risk place to stick a bloke early doors in his career. Even Dagg played there and scored his Benji Marshall impression against the Boks.
Surely Beaudy cant monopolise the shirt until 2027.
Rassie has given chances to Sasha, Fassi, Libbok et al over the last year or so.
The Irish stuck Jamie Osborne in at 15 against the Boks (in South Africa) aged 22 having played all his pro rugby at centre.
Will Jordan is 26 with 33 tests under his belt. At some point he deserves an 80 minute stint or two there to either vindicate or shut the likes of me and media talking heads up. Keep in mind the current head coach is on record as saying "he is a fullback who can play wing". Its not like im asking for Ardie to play 12.
We are going stagnant.
We have become very conservative at the selection table since 2017, especially by Alllblack standards.
