Stuff "analysis" comparing our two first-five options
WEAKNESSES
Mo’unga: Big question mark has to be game management. Yes, he piloted the Crusaders out of a lot of tight spots in Super Rugby Aotearoa with last-quarter bursts. But, remember, it was him running the show as they struggled to put teams away earlier. Not at his best in the RWC semi either when the team was on the back foot from the off. Would have learned a lot that night. More a game-changer than a match-shaper.
Barrett: At his best there are few. Goalkicking is the obvious one, and sometimes can be a little too ambitious with his tactical nudges. Also falls off the odd tackle. A little short of form in 2020 and not at his impactful best. Needs to refind the attacking spark.
So, apparently, RM's major weakness (his defence) is actually BB's

so, are they wearing their current NPC jerseys or the ones that qualified them for the squad?

Qualified for the squad I think. Mitch Hunt is wearing an Auckland jersey for example.

@KiwiMurph That's who the skinny guy is!

Good to see them wear their provincial jerseys, although BB seems to be wearing Scott's.
@Stargazer Looking forward to the footage of Weber in an Otago jersey.

i like how barrets in a old school one, would be cool if these guys could wear ones from when they played
-
@Kiwiwomble Possibly the old man's?
Wearing your provincial socks in the game would also be a cool idea, like the Baabaa players and their club socks.

could have done a bit of a comp
weber played for Otago in 2012 -
"have to got a 2012 Otago jersey (s)?! post a pic and you might be lucky enough for Brad to borrow for training! and receive all this merch as compensation!"
