      Yes, aware of it, but I struggle to get much information from condiments as a general rule.

        Only a general rule. That's why they're special.

              Remember this is a squad for 2020 so he's got plenty of time to become a very good LHP. The other options could be Joe Moody (but a bit too old by 2020 or will be earning money in the NH), Big Karl T, Aidan Ross and Hodgman. Surely a bit too early for Tamati Williams. Who do you see there ?

                @cgrant Ofa will be playing most of, if not all his rugby at Super level at tighthead, then he'll suddenly be the starting loosehead for the All Blacks?

                    Problem is he is very inconsistent, as for the Northern Tour it wasn't exactly a screaming success. The refs played a big part in our wins.

                        @mariner4life I'm just not some little fan boy. If you think the ABs played well on the Northern Tour then your standards are low.

                        Call it for what it is!

                          Weird, you start off on Ofa and somehow invent an argument about m4l being a "fanboy" about the ABs playing well on the northern tour. OK then...

                            looks like a classic fern argument right there...appears one of the 2 posters has mis-read the others post...cos it seems they were saying the same thing (ABs were not that good on the NH tour)

                                Backs will be fine. We have enough core young players that will carry through a cycle (Mounga, TTT, ALB, Goodhue, Reiko, DMac) and plenty of upcoming talent to add in and experiment before upping the experience levels.

                                Forwards looking OK in the front row and any other problems are no different to what we always face.

                                The big question for the next cycle is captaincy. SW probably won't be there. Cane has a cloud over him (and is better not being Cap IMO). Coles? Maybe his time off will have extended his career or shown him that he needs to look at the money before his career ends. BBBR is a dark horse option although I can see him looking for an earner at some point through the cycle which wouldn't be ideal for a captain.

                                I can't see that we want a stopgap captain. Ideally we want someone to own the role and build a reputation.

                                A good mix of pace and strength and loads of talent with minimal showboating. (DMac, for example, may make the odd wrong decision but a selfish player he isn't).

                                That backline could be very, very special.

                                    Backs will be fine. We have enough core young players that will carry through a cycle (Mounga, TTT, ALB, Goodhue, Reiko, DMac)

                                    A good mix of pace and strength and loads of talent with minimal showboating. (DMac, for example, may make the odd wrong decision but a selfish player he isn't).

                                    That backline could be very, very special.

                                    Have you never seen Reiko Ioane score a try?

                                        I figured the stoic, unsmiling jog back to halfway ended with Goldie’s excitement.

                                          @kirwan I used to love the way Stu Wilson, John Kirwan and Jonah Lomu hardly celebrated, even after scoring spectacular tries. They'd jog back to the half way as if scoring Test tries was the most natural act in the world for them. As someone put it "Does the postie celebrate delivering a letter?"
