Tasman v Manawatu

@reprobate Nah!
I don't mind wingers being greedy buggers as long as they score.
I've seen enough from Leicester F back in NZ to think he'll be involved, if fit, for the All Blacks or the All Blacks XV in November.

If he's seen as a winger only I can see your point...

If that’s Jorgensen ,Toole or any of the South African wingers in all probability they all out sprint the cover defence to the corner
All looked in slow motion -

That one to me would suggest he's a hungus who can't use his support players - which will work just fine when he's bullying some non-professional blokes from palmy, but not so much higher up.
If you watch his Top14 games, in a lot of ways he was a v v v good 13, and that was against some quality opposition

Cool, so he can fail in black again. Awesome

@Kirwan I'm not sure I'd call a player who played 7 Tests for the All Blacks and scored five times a "failure."
But a fit and in form Caleb Clarke is a much better player and I'd also like to Leroy Carter, Caleb Tangitau and Xavier Tito-Harris given opportunities at a higher level when fit and in form.
I am glad that Leicester F is available for the ABs again and playing okay. He adds to the depth charts on the wing.

Underwhelming? Average? A bit shit?
By that measure you want George Bridge back (19 games, 12 trys)

On the other hand, Fozzie gave Caleb 15 tests through 2022-23 - backing him as his man for the left wing, while Leicester sat in the stands.
But, when push came to shove - the Ireland Quarter-final - Leicester played and Caleb didn't. Leicester scored a try and we won.
Seems pretty successful to me.
Probably should have stuck with him for the remaining games given that he's from Ta$man.
Ta$man boys scored 7 tries in the RWC play-offs. Other provinces combined scored 3.
How many provinces are there in NZ?
What are you fuckers doing?
