    Looking forward to Ioane and Clarke on the wings. That’s a powerful combo, good size and speed.

    I agree.
    Blues players are finally good for something! :winking_face:

    But it sounds like it'll be Reece and Ioane.
    Hope Clarke can get over whatever issues he is having.

      Maybe it’s just the angle, but Norris looks like a big fella.

        He's meant to be the tallest out of that lot. Needs more leg days though.

          It it were the real Norris, he'd be called Chuck and Robertson would field a team of 1 AB

                He was the backup lock in one game. Norris is 1.95 m so is tall.

                        A prop with the perfect weight/height ratio to play number 8. We missed our chance with Hayman, Norris is our man….

                          @ACT-Crusader Norris can fight over the position with Williams.

                                        @Victor-Meldrew Playing the French is very, very special indeed if the score line is close because you know at any moment they've got deep in their culture, deep in the bones the ability to punish any mistakes and produce something magical. Vive La France!

                                          Razor will need to hammer the french in the next two games because they are mainly the 3rd and 4 choice players. It's not a France b team more like a C and D team. Probably the most embarrassing display from razor as NZ coach
