Jordan can play that fullback wing role they want. With him and Clarke on the wings, that’s sorted.

And Jordie at FB. Back three sorted

And his brother at 10.

Good win considering how much ball we kicked away. Especially when it continued into the second half.
It's hard to take much away from that match. 10 changes for Argentina and their 3rd game on the trot. Good way to finish the season but I'm glad some of the young guys will get another year of Super rugby under their belt before taking on some of the big boys (pending covid allowing that to happen)

Be nice if he put more pressure on the ref. He just needed to say you going to check them dumping me on the head?

Nice way to finish the year. That’s more like it.
Far from the finished article. But some promising signs

Really like the improvement in composure & patience in this game, particularly when things weren't going their way. Far less whooping and hooping - just got on with game. Senior players deserve a lot of the credit for that.
Really solid forward performance all-round. Backs need some serious thought. Mo'unga is just too inconsistent for me, BB's kicking didn't work out and not convinced by Goodhue at 13.
Another plus - the JB experiment has to end now.

I feel a bit dirty, but did SB actually go OK at lock tonight?
Yes, excellent game tonight. No niggling, no stupid penalties, just carried and cleaned hard.

Think Tuipulotu might be better suited to the bench.
Nah, he’s fine starting when fit and healthy.

Yes I thought that too - with SB at lock, he was nuch more solid and composed than he ever was at 6

@antipodean He's better than Jordie
@kpkanz he’s not better than Jordie at Fullback. JB is getting a lot of stick on here, but he didnt choose to play wing. Foster’s ignorance is preventing him from getting time in his preferred position. Hope he gets more of a chance there in 2021.

End of the season and what have we learnt? Akira is clearly the best 6 in New Zealand. Massive effort tonight and my MoTM.
Ardie's athleticism is a huge plus in the final quarter, but Sotutu needs to start.
Will Jordan is a shoe-in for the right wing spot. He has the golden touch Beaudy had.
Long term Rieko is a centre, just needs more time in SR to hone the positional awareness. Some good competition coming through too.
At 12 the coaches need to identiify the type of player they're after because as good as Goodhue is, he doesn't distribute.
Mo'unga is still a flat track bully.
