Italy vs All Blacks

Pimply Giraffe provides us with another option on the wing
-
@stargazer gorgeous ball from your boy RM.

The whole backline looks a better balance with RM and TTT as the halves

I liked Ta'avao's input today and I want to see more of him and Paps in Black
-
ABs did what they had to do and did it well. I found the game quite boring, but that's what you get with such a weak opponent. No real contest.
@stargazer I enjoyed it, think the boys needed to get a bit of enjoyment back into their game, nice to see the pressure relieved and to see us play and attack freely

I would have preferred a stronger opponent, maybe Scotland, to finish the tour.
Fuck that, they'd have probably rolled us!

Glad that Jordie finished the year on a positive note like that, he's very talented and has a good future with the ABs.
I'd like to see Mounga, Rieko, Laumape, Goodhue, JB, BB in 2020 (with perhaps Bridge and McKenzie back reserves). Talk about spoilt for choice-we have George Bridge, McKenzie, Ben Smith for a bit longer, ALB, Crotty, Naholo, SBW, Havili.

Obviously didn't watch the Scottish match today

Yep, he should be first-choice second Five-eight for the All Blacks in 2019.
Pleased for Jordie Barrett. He should now be in the RWC squad if fit.

I think a laumape goodhue midfield has a well rounded look to it , and is one I would like to see given a shot ,
Not exact clones , but has a similar look structure wise to nonu Conrad

@kiwiinmelb problem is they have fuck all games to try combinations...Laumape-Goodhue and ALB-Goodhue are pairings we should have seen but haven't.
-
All we have done this tour is kick the ball on attack.
This game it's getting tries.
Seen a backline move, anything off set piece?
Interesting I reckon
@siam It works against rubbish opposition like this but as we saw in the last couple of weeks it didn't work.

Yep in a WC year , we probably wont see it ,
And i think they will continue their obsession with SBW at 12 when he is available .

@kiwiinmelb TBH an in form SBW is probably what they need to deal with the rush defence, problem is, we are unlikely to see a completely fit SBW let alone a form SBW, who I believe was last sighted in bursts in early 2017.
Laumape could provide a similar impact, but won't get many chances barring injuries to both SBW and Crotty
