          I think he'll still be mentioned in World 15s even after he's retired.

            @derm-mccrum No Rieko in the 23 at all? At the very least I'd suggest Rieko would make the 23 jersey as Barrett and Ben Smith can cover fullback.

            I'd suggest that Reiko would make the 11 jersey considering he's the premier wing in the world and as far as I know Ben Smith has never played on the left?

                    Don't see the point in Pocock when the rest of the forward pack are great at pilfering as well. He serves no purpose. Much rather have a ball runner or line out option. I'd want a pack that can absolutely destroy the opposition Crusaders style. Who is that Argie no. 8 who was making stupid metres against us?Damn I'm shocking with ethnic names.

                            Honestly, I know we hate the Irish style of rugby, but when it comes to controlling a game and slowly but surely strangling the life out of an opponent, even if you fall alseep watching, Murray and Sexton are up there with the best.

                            Eh, no We all don’t hate...

                            Actually I don't hate the style, so you're correct. I appreciate it for what it's worth - making Ireland a very good rugby side, 2nd in the world rankings, and difficult to beat.

                            The NZ public, including myself, would not to be too enamoured if Hansen tried to foist that type of game plan on NZ - it's basically a variant of the Springbok 2007 RWC-winning recipe. If Conor Murray is indeed absent in November, I don't see your pick of McGrath/Cooney/Marmion having the requisite control to implement it to such a high level.

                            At the end of the day, any Irish fan, including yourself, will happily take a 1 pt victory in Dublin, I very much doubt the manner in which it's achieved would be a major concern.

                                I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.

                                I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.

                                  What's the point if the ball is too slow coming to him?

                                    Leguizamon ? He is not even in the Jaguares starting XV ! Matera could be a better option on the bench.

                                      Thomas ? Are you serious ? This guy does not know how to defend and runs sometimes like a headless chicken (please watch the ERC 2018 cup final against Leinster). I reckon he has serious wheels but there are far better right wings on the international scene.

                                        @derm-mccrum No Rieko in the 23 at all? At the very least I'd suggest Rieko would make the 23 jersey as Barrett and Ben Smith can cover fullback.

                                        I'd suggest that Reiko would make the 11 jersey considering he's the premier wing in the world and as far as I know Ben Smith has never played on the left?

                                        In MY team, I expect players to try things they’ve never done before...

                                        Sexton must be shitting himself worrying about having to run with the ball.

                                        He’s used to that by now.

                                          I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.

                                          I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.

                                          When did we start using bogan ball terms, first receiver. 1st 5 or stand off please.
