        @MN5 I think I know where you're going with this. Parkinson could do with bulking up a bit, right? Because that means he's not big.

              Got a lot of time for DMac and really hope he gets back to his best.

              That said, his form of late has been utter shite.

                When you're making Jordie look like the safe option, it's time to take a bit of a look at yourself eh.

                  At the risk of raking over old coals, how I winced when he came on in RWC semi. Relieved when first play sensible.

                                In 2022/23, he'll finally make the side and play bloody awesome - only to be confusingly and quietly left out of the squad for the 2023 RWC.

                                  @Machpants

                                  Top comment makes me wonder, what is the ranking of our last 3 world cup back 3s? (based on the last game played)

                                  2011: Kahui, Jane, Dagg
                                  2015: Savea, NMS, BFA
                                  2019: Bridge, Reece, BB

                                  2019 would have to be the weakest.

                                    @mofitzy_ amazing how short a career Savea had. For a few years, he was a freak - could just run through a set backline, much like Prime Jonah. Really not sure what happened, wonder if his mental game faded, but he just stopped being a force. Honestly, by France Quarter in 2015 he was a busted flush, and a few sparks in that game didn't cover the dross that was being served up.

                                    Amazing on form, but the back three is a tough place to live as an All Black; so much competition and talent running around.

                                      @mofitzy_ I'd probably go 2011.

                                      2015 BFA is probably the best player of the 3 campaigns though.

                                        Def 2011. In hindsight having some rugby brain in Jane and Kahui on the wings (coupled with their skill levels) was great. The visibility of the game from either side and ability to communicate to Dagg on whether to be up or back was critical.

                                        In 2015 and 2019 we relied on the fullback to do all the vision.

                                          I sometimes wonder if being a big fast powerful athlete ,When that level of raw athleticism is Your main weapon of what sets you apart,

                                          If that’s type of rugby player has a more limited lifespan due to the body simply not being able to maintain that level of athleticism as long
