@mariner4life My secret is finally out....., :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Amazing transformation in Sevu Reece this season. Credit to Razor, ROG and the Sader staff.

@Frank said in RWC bolters:
How is Reece under the high ball and defensively?
Fair play to him this season - but he in a dominant team.
I think Ennor is a better bet for wing (also covering center)No! Ennor at centre in a test scares me. Give him a bit more time possibly, but right now? Nope.

Here's the SR wingers sorted by missed tackles
He was bad in the NPC too. He missed 7 tackles in one game v Auckland

@Stargazer he’s shit at defending regardless of how the table is sorted.

Ennor is a good one on one tackler from what i've seen, he's also fast and a very good natural reader of the game. the combination with goodhue was a bit untidy in the 2nd half last week, but longer term i don't think there are any issues there.
reece hits hard, but misses a lot. hasn't been tested fully under high ball or positionally that i've seen, but i haven't seen any really bad errors in what i have seen. i was expecting the canes to kick high to him and have jordie after it, but instead they kicked to bridge and he dominated. -
Neither Reece last week, nor Bridge last week did enough IMHO. Ben Smith is looking too slow all of a sudden on the Right Wing.
Time to draft in Rugby World Cup 2019 Super Bolter Will Jordan!!!

@sparky Surely Ennor deserves a whole Test match to prove himself. He seems to have it all and is arguably the fastest of the lot. The biggest letdown is Reiko Ioane tbh, he's gone from being the best winger in the world last year to a player who is a 50/50 selection now. At least Ben Smith's excuse is that he's getting old, Reiko can't even use that.

@akan004 Reiko hasn't been helped by being in Blues training environment and the lax fitness standards at that franchise.

Shag said he started Super with a hiss and a roar (and he did) - has just eased somewhat. He's rusty, they're mostly rusty as a team, and frankly I still think we'll put in a stron gshowing at the world cup. It may well not be enough, but RWC are bloody hard to win.
I think I'd prefer to see a fit and well coached Pat T starting, with ScoBar off the bench ... but ultimately the Cartel will know who's showing form in training and who can do the job for them.

WTF! Reiko had one poor game. ONE! We are going to have no players left if we are dropping everyone for one off poor games.

He's been poor since April. To be fair to him however, I think he has been overworked by the Blues, just like his brother.
