If half AB squad go straight to UK we could see a hybrid like this:
Ofa/Bell/Tosi/Holland/Darry/Paps/Bladder/Sotutu/Roigard/Plummer/Havili/Proctor/Telea/Narewa/Perofeta
Plummer got outplayed by his counterpart in a NPC game on Wednesday against Ta$man. Genuinely shouldn't be near the squad.
More use having Perofeta start there, and maybe someone from the XVs having a go at fullback.
As @Bones said recently, Super Rugby form doesn't matter, but coming in at short notice for an NPC game when he's been away from the Auckland squad all year does?
There have been many other All Blacks who have come into NPC teams in recent weeks and immediately made an impact.
Plummers Super Rugby form was vastly overrated.
He was behind the most dominant forward pack in super rugby that mainly dominated through their pack. Even Plummers kicking percentage wasnt even that great.
Plummer wasn't first choice 10 at the Blues until Perofeta got injured. And he was only picked at 10 in the playoffs because Perofeta had to fill in for the injured Sullivan at fullback. The Blues were 6-1 with Perofeta starting at 10 so they seemed to be fine without Plummer at 10.
He failed to make any impact in the NPC games he has been in since. There is no way Beauden or Dmac walk into an NPC side with no time with the team and don't immediately take control of the team and game when they're playing.
I can't believe we're making excuses for prospective All Blacks not performing at NPC level.
That's an ice cold take if ever I saw one

I take it that's the ABs website/app?

I’m pretty sure it says ‘tell Booboo he fucked up and the rugby is on Saturday, remind him to buy beer and ask the Mrs if they can watch during dinner time.’
I’ll admit that I’m struggling with my translation of whether it is ‘him to buy beer’ or ‘buy beer for gt12’

Yes it is.
How much rugby has Plummer had in the last 3 months?
2 minutes in Wellington?

Oops, hold on.
Seems where I read booboo is should mean NZR media fuckstick.
Japanese is really hard, I can see why kids give it up.

In terms of his run numbers in SR, the point was he's not a run first 10. I believe Razor is asking too much of DMac to run all the time, and that a good 10 should be able to pass to his midfield and let them go to work. Which Plummer was more likely to do with the Blues' gameplan
-
At the moment Razor is shoring up a bit of his time bringing back some of the guys who have gone offshore. Richie Mo and Shannon Frizzell will be big chess pieces. Next year's Superrugby will have to prioritizes getting quality 10s, hopefully by the time Richie comes back we don't need him, same could be said about Shannon in his position.

Let's no pretend like Mounga isn't going to walk back into the 10 jersey given Razor is in charge.....

@SBW1 said in All Blacks v Japan:
Hopefully none of the returning players are even needed for that matter.
We shouldn't have to lure players home (probably with big money offers). It sends the wrong message, and if they are diminished the pressure is on to play them anyway
-
Judging by the just announced squad of course Razor will welcome back Richie and Shannon next year ..

I mean I looked at the numbers and it just seems like the Blues ran their entire attack through halfback and close forwards to the ruck. And it seems like they specifically moved to this to the extreme when Perofeta first got injured and they realized it would be Plummer at 10.
Carries/passes per game from each 10 this year
Perofeta
Carries per game - 10.8
Passes per game - 21Plummer
Carries per game - 6.4
Passes per game - 13Dmac
Carries per game - 8.3
Passes per game - 27Plummer is barely passing and barely running.
Which is what the eye test was saying really. The Blues channeled a vast majority of their attack through their big running forwards and the backs were occasionally used as battering rams by using cut out passes directly from the halfback, as opposed to any sort of orchestration from the 10.

Seriously, media types who are trawling here for story ideas, how about one on the fact that NZ rugby supposedly got all this cash to get them ultra professional, but cant even run a correct fixtures list that includes the next actual fixture?
I always use Wikipedia for rugby match schedules. Strangely, far more reliable. Thanks, anonymous internet users who are dedicating time of their lives for this!
On topic: Japan sucks. ABs will play a 2nd string side and narrowly win by 5 points.
