@Nepia I'm a massive fan of Alaimalo, would love to see him brought in sooner rather than later.
Failing that we could just play a back two of Rieko and BFA. We've always backed ourselves as being innovative...
are we really innovative any more? Or do we just do the basics really well for longer?
Maybe we save out innovation for when we need it? The innovation at RWC 2015 was to spend the pool games testing shit for the finals which worked, just with the unfortunate side effect of nearly making all the fans meltdown.
probably something to that. Not sure i have seen too much innovation on the field for a while, but maybe it's the off-the-field stuff where we still lead. Which doesn't help the rampant speculators (ie us).
It was a serious question by the way.

@mariner4life we are just better than everyone else at this rugby thing and adapting to changes
that's some startling insight right there. It's this kind of knowledge that makes TSF the best rugby site on the planet...
@mariner4life it's the truth; the truth is out there bro, you just need to know where to find it!

I was being partially serious - I think that was innovative in that it prepared the players for the finals (well at least I think it did).

@mariner4life short memory. How could you forget the Dagg hit up innovation in the Lions series?

yea, because that team of players needed soooo much preparation. Seriously, considering the talent assembled, and how much footy they had played together the coaching required was how to get them to the ground on time

@mariner4life well from there we decided to fuck the winger off and just have our 10 hit it up from the scrum. Tries galore to BB and Dmac. Innovation.

Goibng from the discussion on Radio Sport, it seems big Karl is shifting to be reserve tighthead - and played a bit there in last year's NPC.
James Parsons apparently told them he'd be fine there, so I'm completely reassured!
@chris-b did he have his head gear on when he said that, he has no credibility when he takes it off!
-
While it would be awesome if Karl T was good enough to cover both sides.
I think it's a bit shit for them to throw him in as reserve TH at test level when he hasn't played there at SR level. He's still just a 3 (half) cap All Black pup.
JTA for bench, please.

@machpants said in Bledisloe I:
@rapido Problem is JTA will only be there this arvo, I guess, short turn around
So, really it's coming down to that they should have selected better.
2 THPs. 2 LHPs, plus Ofa T covering both sides should have been the original 5.
So JTA should have been there all week, Perry should be the one on the plane.
Lesson learnt, I hope.

@nepia I think it's debatable - seems the infringement would be the scrum half making the opposition think the ball is out of the scrum when it's not. However, if the number 8 picks it up at the same time then I guess there's no infringement.

Who's the laws nerd around here? A ref? Maybe they can offer some insight?
