Blues structure improved in the last 20 wth Beaudy at ten, IMO. Not saying Beaudy 10 and ??? 15 would be an improvement, but Beaudy is a big step up over Black - no matter how well he's playing
The conundrum there is definitely who we play at 15 isn't as good as Beaudy either.
Perofeta was going O.K but injured. Duffie isn't a threat from the back really, so I understand why Leon is doing it. I've forgotten somebody else at 15...I think.

Narawa is another FB option.
I might be in the minority with this opinion, but I think Trainor would do alright at 15 in this backline. I think he's a better FB option than Duffie at least.

He's been injured hasn't he? I see he played club rugby last weekend

Oh, and Honey will be well pissed if we dis the 'Landers and play a B team.
B team?? I suggested two changes.
IMO Barrett to 10 would strengthen the team
TBH, I'm not sure it would. Black at 10 and Barrett at 15 with both having input in leading the team around the park seems to work pretty well.

Apologies if it’s already been discussed, And to go with that, is beaudy at 15 the best option for the ABs going forward ?
If it’s a yes , I’m all for him playing 15 at this level

Long suffering Blues fans will take more than that to rise to your rancid bait
We've lifted this year, but Blues/Highlanders used to be the competitive derby games to watch as a Blues fan. We should beat them at home... but can't ever be too confident. I expected teh Chiefs to dust them up in Round 1, and we know how that turned out -

don't give us that
Yesterday Blues posters were all about rotating out players to rest them up for championship deciders later in the year.
You're up and about, and already buying bottles of silver polish.

Currently we are clearly in the top two, but that can change pretty quick in a NZ conference. Our worst teams are strong teams in the SA and OZ conferences, for example.
Even when we were "bad", if the QF spots were manipulated to get one form SA and OZ there we'd have made those.
And if you are talking about Duluth's "rotation", that was a whopping TWO players. Hardly 2007 R & R levels there.

I just read it again and people were talking about a bit of a reshuffle and giving guys time on field to cover for injuries. Not really seeing the backtracking or the original "rotating" as such.
Certainly not for championship deciders - we are far to experienced for that nonsense.

Nope
We finally have good coaches, Coventry has the forwards humming, and much fitter which is making a hude difference on defence. And Leon is making far better selections than the past two coaches. -
