@SBW1 he's played a test for the All Blacks in 2022, will be eligible for the Wallabies next year.

Stevenson off to Japan.
Poop. James Lowe like kicking and brilliant at putting people into space. Shit defender, yeah, but most current AB back three are

Don’t think he has what it takes to be an AB winger. A bit of a one season wonder.

Robertson snub?
Foster gave him a shot and then didn't pick him again, after he was playing even better at lower levels...he is the epitome of the comment 'plays one side' although certainly not the only one.
Maybe, just maybe he was given work ons, but failed to meet the requirements?
Have to assume that both Fozzie and Razor see something that didnt quite fit, kinda the same way these guys continually pick players we see as a poor fit...
I hate losing players like him, but the hyperbolic headlines help no one.

Wasted talent in the end which is a shame. Yeah he had defensive deficiencies (not the only one), but he never got a fair crack. He had all the skills to be a good fullback, but sadly in the last few years, they've always favored the hybrid 10/15s.

Foster had decided Stevenson wasn't up to it and Razor followed suit
Beauden Barrett had utter rubbish defence when he started. Dane Coles was out of control. Good coaches make players better. Bad coaches discard them. Both those guys could have been thrown away and gone overseas.
So far this year I am seeing little of the much hyped man management in the selections.

Absolutely gutted we are losing Shooter ,been very privileged to have interviewed him on a few occassions in the last few years a really good bugger with an amazing skill set that is ready made for international rugby
I could rattle off a list of All Blacks who were’nt the best defenders but the coaches at the time backed the rest of their skill sets to a job for the teamBest wishes to a top man

A shame he never got a test at fullback. He was a better fullback than wing.
Wish coaches in NZ saw the value in fullbacks with large punts.
I'm surprised he stuck around as long as he did.
Best of luck to him. A fine career in NZ.
@KiwiMurph well said , in what world was Fihaki a better option than Stevenson ?

Would have solved our exit issues, had easily the biggest boot in NZ. Thanks Razor and Foster for picking your favourite has beens instead of giving Stevenson a go.
