<p>Yup, I'll be honest, I tought Dagg was done and was silly for not taking the coin while he still could. And I was always a huge fan. Comprehensively proved me wrong there, incredible come back.</p>

<p>Goes to show if the guy is relatively injury free and still young there is no need to cast him aside in a hurry. When NMS comes back we are scary deep in terms of wing/15s again. Add BB to the mix and Shag has a whole lot of building blocks in place</p> -
<p>Yeah, Dagg did good.</p>

Terry Wright's slug had its fans. He was fucking one of the Auckland cheerleaders back in his day. Probably just glided in and out of her in a similar manner to his running style.
-
Cheerleaders doesn't mean herald rugby writers BTW.

<p>Don't think Savea was as bad as some have suggested. His horror start aside. Had some good touches and made a couple of nice tackles. Not at his best but I wouldn't drop him just yet<em><strong>. His replacement has hardly been flawless.</strong></em></p>

<p>That's the key thing, Savea dropped a couple early & you could feel the "We hate Julian!" coming. Then when Nahalo came on he gave a tits for hands display Sione Lauaki would have been ashamed of... </p> -
<p>I really felt for him when he dropped that first ball , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Down on form and confidence ,wanting to turn it all around, and it started off like that </p> -

He and Dagg were both at fault for the first dropped ball. -

<p>And his replacement has been under the microscope too. Savea isn't anywhere near his top form, Naholo's form has nothing to do with that.</p> -
<p>It's a tough one in regards to Julian. Who knows what's going on. He could be having off field/personal problems that we don't know about. With Skudder also out the All Blacks haven't really missed a beat considering Dagg, Smith and Barrett are all in such scintillating form.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't really care who's starting for the All Blacks, aslong as they are winning and winning well is all I care about!!</p>

<p>Apart from Ardie, I really want to see Ardie get a start!! :yes:</p>
