@brodean I don't think Dalton Papalii can be seen as a nailed on starter until he does it in black to be fair (this isn't me saying he shouldn't get the chance to do so).
An interesting tidbit I heard was that Sean Withy isn't rated by Robertson and co at all, and given Christie was dispensed with in the end too, this clearly points to them wanting a different style of 7.
Assuming Joseph was the replacement, I'd be intrigued to see the direction of travel. He clearly like Withy, and he made Papalii his captain of the XV.

@frugby Joseph definitely seems to favour hard-nosed workers more than Robertson but so do most coaches. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to suggest Papali'i would have been the first choice openside (at least initially) for most other coaches after Cane retired.

well ackshewally if you really look at it our defense is great except for the very small periods around when tries are scored.
So we need to reduce those periods when tries are scored, I wonder if they have figured that out?

Ardie proving the fern wrong yet again
Beauden unlucky to miss out.
Has Savea even had a good season by his own standards?

Has he still got that stupid pic of him sitting against the goalpost looking into the sky contemplating life after the England test?

@African-Monkey so much on SM around that, he's the man, he gives so much, you can see how much the loss took from him...
He plays the SM game perfectly.

Well that's why I said "my nailed on starters". Its purely my opinion. My approach would be different to Razors. For a start I would tell Ryan he will no longer have input on loose forward selections.

Ardie is untouchable in the media it seems.
He probably will get a massive write up after the Welsh game as he will still be invisible."Savea selflessness gives Kirifi a rare shot at glory"
Perfect, inspires Kirifi to a man of the match performance.
He could not have done it with out Ardie.
