@canefan dare he actually win something and play well. I get you don't appreciate what he does and he isn't world class but why so much hate

The more I think about it the more I would like to see Reihana in black right now
He is a proper 10 with a proper kicking game. Something we are crying out for.
I hope he gets treated better than Plummer, another proper 10 who won the SR title before being selected

He will.
The urgency to find a 10 who can consistently control the game is growing. -

@canefan what, sign overseas during your first AB season?
Chuck, sober up, then tell me what the hell you are talking about. Or use the quote button so I know what you are trying to say

@sparky I think that hotham isn’t quite ready for test footy yet - I honestly think that Christie has come back and played his best footy of his career this year and could/should make his way back
@jamsb Hotham did okay against Fiji and in the All Blacks XV games last year. He didn't let the Crusaders down this season either.
Christie did well in the Blues' last few games, but I think there are other Half Backs available who offer the All Blacks more variety and more of an attacking threat.
-
I think this is going to be the strongest ABs squad since 2017.
6, 10 and the wings are the only positions where we aren't stacked.
Some bloody good players are going to miss out of the 35.

I like your optimism.

A couple of contrasting styles with Roigard, Ratima and Hotham.
Whilst overall tonight’s match wasn’t the game for running rugby, it was still good to see Hotham take on the line a few times and create some space. That’s his strength, but he’s good at the base and other than not using that one really dominant scrum, he had a very good game and controlled our attack well.
Ratima’s pass is excellent but he didn’t really vary his play tonight. Less influence than we have seen throughout the season. I’m still in the camp of starting him and using Roigard as our finisher.
I quite like Roe’s game like others. He has good quickness.

Going to be interesting to see if the talk on Roe is accurate, Hotham will be a bit hard done by.
