    What I don't like about the kicking one is it discourages long-range counterattacking, instead promoting looking for space to kick in-behind. And we all know it will end in tries for players wearing no2.

    To play devil's, if it extends into international rugby, it's more interfering by NZR to promote rugby suitable to NZXV style of play.

    Just to add to those rules being trialed ,they are at the request of WR, any changes to International Rugby need to be implemented by June 2026 to be workable for the 2027 WC.

    Well, I've missed Hutchinson... kinda gone "who?".

    And I didn't realise Mathis was that tall (1.86m, 6'1").

    Dunno why they bother mentioning that Mathis is only wider group, Blackadder will get injured round 1 and Mathis will play round 2.

    Optimist. There's a whole preseason to get through.

    He could have chosen other players but has focused on young players. Hard to believe that Wrampling will still only be 21 when SR 2026 begins.

    Grace is also out until late March,so Mathis will play somewhere along the line.
