    well, opportunities and experiments in the AB jersey, particularly that #7...yeah, nah!

    I dont think they were gonna learn anything new out of Ardie, IMO they see him (somehow) as thier 2nd best, hence why he started rather than Todd, another known quantity at this level.

      @antipodean @Stargazer That may be what we're all thinking, but Hansen may see it different. After all we'd expect that Todd would have spoken with the coaches to see where he sits in the pecking order before signing his Japan contract (unless of course it has an AB selection out-clause). Because an injury to Cane and/or Savea may see Hunt of Fern favourite Gibson come in and seal up that 2/3 no. 7 spot before the RWC.

      I’d be watching Papali’i for that too. I think he looks like a future long term AB.

      He just looks like a Cane replacement to me.

        Yeah, he looks good, but is he a 7 long term?

          Papali’i is bigger than McCaw or Cane so probably a hybrid 6/7.

            @bovidae

            Yeah, good point.

            He's got size, but is he big enough for 6? 193, 113 makes him shorter but heavier than Kaino, and and taller and heavier than Cane.

            I just wonder whether he can be a 7, because he plays around the park very similar to Cane, IMO. He looks quick enough...

                          Edit: I think I misunderstood your "just". I now think you mean this is a good thing. Looking "just like a Cane replacement" as opposed to "he's just a Cane replacement ". My bad.
