Pro D2 : deuxième victoire à l'extérieur de Provence Rugby

Why wouldn’t you want him scoring a try a match at fullback?

Otherwise you’ve named the two 10s NZ will need, one 10 that they should be trying to pasture out, a winger that got dumped from the side, and a winger that hasn’t yet seen enough consistency to make the ABs. These are you’re fullback depth? LOL! 😜

What wing depth is there? Stevenson, Narawa, JB, … Love, Nani-Seturo to name a few. Clarke, Telea, Rieko, Tangitau, Springer, Carter, all immediate test starters on the wing for me! 😋

Look I just don’t want another 10 at fullback. I want someone who will take the line on. That’s definitely not Dmac because he’s far too small to be carrying the ball into contact at internationa level. I wouldn’t mind a Perofeta there because even if he’s not a great runner I think he could be the best at making use of all 3 backfield options on the counter attack. Shaun is another good option simply because I like his instincts, theyre more open than most, and he’s got that triple threat like Perofeta. I haven’t seen Love do enough good things to think he’ll succeed at test level, he’s getting so much support simply because people don’t like the other options.

A try a match wingers simply don’t last. I’m seeing that with Jordan as well, I simply think people are way over rating his ability on the right wing these days, but I’m perfectly happy for him also to be given a chance to prove he’s still got it. It is much the same circumstance with Rieko. Telea is probably the best winger in the world, so he stays there for me.

The other Tele’a is certainly the most imposing, Frank Bunce like center we have at the moment. I almost whish we were like France and didn’t give a crap about winning every game just so we get to see how the side can play with different styles of players.

Seru Uru and Rob Leota are both in fine form depending on what you want, Rob L offers the hard work of a 6 or Seru gives you the linking and speed. This allows Schmidt to play either one depending on the opposition. The #8 offers a similar option with Bobby V and Rob L being a ground winning combination or Seru and Wilson for a more open game.

What double world cup winning team?

When has Eden Park had a winning streak this long before?

When has the All Blacks been at the cross roads between greatness or apathy before?

When has it all been on the line like this?
