Spencer, who last played competitive rugby six years ago, was at the heart of the Blues’ 2003 championship win – the last time they held the Super Rugby trophy aloft. He also earned 35 caps for the All Blacks.

He moved to England after leaving NZ in 2005, playing for Northampton Saints and Gloucester. After he hung up his boots he was involved in the coaching setup at the Lions Super Rugby side.

Spencer is most remembered for his mercurial style, particularly this outrageous try against the Crusaders in 2004:

Mick Cleary: Five non-negotiables England need to display against Italy

Primary job of an 8 is to get over the gain line in attack and have rock solid stats in defence, specifically tackle count. Earl can certainly do both but is he the best at 8? Against top quality opposition he has a recent tendency to be underwhelming. Let’s wait and see with Pollock although less convinced his long term position is at 8.

Has to be with such ridiculous errors!

Rather Christy than Bidwell! He jumped the shark even by his standards yesterday. Tried to say that when Auckland is weak NZ is weak. Pretty much everyone sees through him now and he's getting very little activity.

Ireland downplay Sam Prendergast injury concern

Pendergrast shoukdn’t be in the squad - and never should have been selected for it in the first place.

Overrated and overhyped - banish him to D4 for a couple of years until he learns how to play the sport properly.

The dumb things the IRFU and Easterby do to keep the D4 thickos happy.

Mick Cleary: Five non-negotiables England need to display against Italy

Earl has stepped back this season compared to last, 6-7/10 this term when he was a solid 8/10 last year. England’s record with him starting is not great reading in terms of win percentage. He can play 8 but he will never be a Savea, Wiese, Alldritt or Doris. Sarries play him with a 7 on his back but tactically switch him to 8 on attacking scrums, makes sense, ergo England should not ‘double down’ at all. Were Jack Willis available, not sure he would justify being in the starting XV now.

Former Ireland captain delivers withering assessment of Six Nations

I think winning somewhat masks England’s performances, but winning is key. Some argue France played poorly against them, while the argument could be made England made them play poorly.

Regardless, there are 3 teams going into this weekend with a chance of winning. The bonus point system works and keeps it exciting. England know, if they have any chance of winning, they have to play attacking rugby and go for it to build the score. Same for Scotland and Ireland, they have to both throw caution to the wind and play. Increases the hype and excitement for sure and, hopefully, the quality in the matches too.

'He fits all those boxes': Former All Black's pick for Razor's openside

I see Savea, Sititi and Lakai as best 3 loosies and they could pretty much all interchange. However that's not a big trio, Simon Parker impresses as a big body with potential, Cullen Grace maybe but he needs regular time at 6 rather than being a part time lock.

Trophy ambition drives Raffi Quirke's decision to stay put

Great result for Sale here, but I can’t help but feel Quirke was keen to go elsewhere until the most recent injury around 5 weeks ago. Likelihood that meant other suitors weren’t willing to meet salary demands so it was better to stay put. 2 years is not a big commitment for a 23 year old.

Mick Cleary: Five non-negotiables England need to display against Italy

Nerve touched, clearly. Have you asked yourself the question, why does Steward get no game time or even a look in for England these days, more so with Furbank injured? That’s his former club HC making that call.

Mick Cleary: Five non-negotiables England need to display against Italy

Giraffes are excellent at reaching the high fruits but they don’t run or turn too well in the open.

If you’re holding out for Steward playing FB for England then settle in for a long wait would be my advice, that’s even with Furbank side-lined. Kinghorn (or Keenan) he ain’t and he may be OK for Tigers (except against Toulouse) but for England, deeply exposed and deeply stepped. Even Daly, a part time 15 and the wrong side of 30, was preferred for the Italy game.

If I was Steward and wanting to play for England I would be figuring where I could get in the side and adapting.

'Can NZ sustain five teams?': Knives out on historic weekend for New Zealand Super teams

This headline is clickbait nonsense - sure the Aussies can have a laugh at the weekend’s results - when you’ve been as bad as they have for the last 20 years, all you can do is laugh.

If Aussie teams win the next 20 Super Rugby titles and don’t have half of their players from NZ, then we can revisit this.

Mick Cleary: Five non-negotiables England need to display against Italy

2027 is the target year for England to have transitioned for the RWC. You highlight an systemic blight of the heart of the game in England, consistent failure to give youth its spurs in a meaningful sense. Sure it comes through in dribs and drabs but no wonder France is where they are now, they have brought through the U20s players en masse over the past 4-5 years. Bielle-Biarey, 21, France debut 2023, 18 caps and 17 tries. England did have similar with Arundell (untrusted at RWC 23 despite being top try scorer for England) and aware that Kpoku (like J Willis) is ineligible due to ridiculous, artificial rules.
