DMac is so much better than Barrett at 10 right now it's not funny. How Beaudy is the AB starting 10 I have no idea.

And RM isn't significantly better than DMac to change rules to let him play

He will. It's probably why Barrett gets put at 10.

And why he selects EB. What with Akira overseas too.

Unfortunately Wallace's injury has made that selection narrative easier for a while

You reckon he's going to try and select Akira from overseas?

Nope. I'm just saying he can pick EB now because "we have no one else" with Wallace down

True, not like he selected EB when WS was available last year.

How did EB go in round one ?

Played through injury. What a warrior.

There is an accepted narrative out there that beaudy is experienced and calm, and dmac is erratic ,

once people form opinions it takes a lot of convincing to change their minds

shit, maybe 6 years ago.

Look, I love Beaudy to bits, but he is not the player he was a few years ago. For me, DMac should be the locked in 10 for the ABs; he's one of the few who creates with pass and pace. Mo'unga wsa getting better, but after 4 years in the jersey you'd expect more from him. And who knows how he comes back from Japan. He never really delivered at Test level in the 10 jersey.

There are still some in the rugby media who continue to bang that drum despite the evidence proving the exact opposite. In the ABs best performance of the year BB didn't even play!

[taniwharugby]

The irony is, if Razor had won everything last year, wins everything this year, I think NZR give some concessions, but he didnt, needs to focus on what he has at his disposal and build on them.

I think we can all agree that if EB hadn't torn his vagina before the EOYT, Wallace would have got nothing more than garbage time, and probably not even that

I've been over BB for some time and not sure Richie is/was consistently a better 10 than DMac.

from what i see on various other channels, this site is pretty much the only place to have that view.
