Watch: Former All Black’s sensational showing in NRL pre-season return

Carry on.

You evenly bag any non-Bok.

Keep it up.

We love it.

A person of common sense you are.

He's a meany.

Cowering and crying about it isn’t going to help.

Clearly Whitelock wasn't part of the tackle & only went in OVER going for the ball.

Nice try Sexton. Again.

Go on. Watch the replay Sexton. Oh & I, & most AB fans would like to watch you watch it ... then you're silence (only kidding, it's Sexton).

The fullbacks were always still solid receivers and kick returns throughout that period. It's changed a bit as the kick chase (laws etc) have changed right, the 'playmaker' goes back in the pocket to return a lot of kicks now (Dmac a heavy returner even while playing 10).

That might actually come, sometime later down the line, but for now I agree that Jordie to should focus on one position and be given the chance to be great. His switch to 12 was so timely and important to the team, yet when it came down to it, that one area he was cherished for was where he let the team down in the Final. Does that mean he's just not suited to reaching his potential in the 12 jersey? IDK. I think there are certainly such facets that affected him during his 15 days as well, he would often to weird/brain explosion type things, and yuo can get yourself into trouble doing those in the open field, but yeah, skillwise I agree, 15. TBH though I see other FBs ahead of as well as those other 12s overtaking him.

And tell me if Mounga was available would Robertson select him in a flash.

And if BB is so great why was DMac selected ahead of him in the first 8 tests and then DMac was dropped to the bench and the second choice promoted.

I reckon both of you are probably Jacko in disguise. His hatred for Mounga was so apparent and also the Crusaders.

He's obviously done these facets at SR level, he just needs to get comfortable with them with less space/more pressure, finding space is probably his easiest out in terms of not stuffing things up. But many fullbacks use low dinky kicks right, he's not going to be a Jordie Barrett from the back and the worst thing he could do would be to try and develop those sorts of skills imo.

However any side that can beat England, one of the wealthiest rugby nations on the planet, 3-0 obviously has some potential, and I think another 12 months will see a much more consistent and settled side. At this stage, beating either Ireland or France would exceed expectations.

Jordie's performances got less and less inspirational with Mo'unga inside him, he's in dream land, trying to construe this article to have the same meaning he feels confident about, when the articles really got nothing to do with it at all.

Then they started playing tightforwards who could carry and it all changed, yet Foster persisted with Jordie trying to provide that solid link at 12 (which was no longer needed yet was etched into his brain from the previous 2 years). His aggression on D was most welcome still though!
