@bones nah. I been watching Jordan for a while.
Even now he has a hugely greater body of work. Nareki was pretty flakey before Covid. He's good but not an AB I reckon. You'd actually get more game value playing jordie on a wing before Nareki
It's one thing slipping tackles from a resource dearth Aussie super team and another thing dominating international defenders

Qué? Like I said, debuted in 2019 for the crusaders. Selected for the ABs in 2020. And hasn't he only played Aussies at test level?
Not sure I can take your argument very seriously...

Does only super rugby count to be an All Black prospect? Everyone has seen Jordan do more and better rugby than Nareki in all their comparable schoolboy and NPC rugby. Will Jordan hasn't only been playing rugby since 2019 for fucks sake.
I'm comparing the body of work of the most recent all black winger to the body of work of a fucken flake who's having a great time running through heartland cup defences in a meaningless fucking comp. The only other good rugby your new fucking Jonah fucking Lomu has played was about 5 games last year in another meaningless fucking comp. He's only been a definite 1st XV member this year. That's how fucking All Black he is, he couldn't make the fucking Highlanders guaranteed
Can't take my argument seriously that the fucking Wes Goosen of Otago rugby is somehow on fucking par with the most recently selected AB winger and should be rushed in there quicksmart because some Aussie c unt on the fucking tele reckoned he could control the bounce of a fucking rugby ball with a special fucking kick??!! Fuck off
Stick your talent spotting skills and your argument fair up your fucking arse.
Jonah Nareki, All Black winger my fucking arse!!🤬
Cheers Bro. Good night, love to the family.
Catch ya tomorrow

Catch ya tomorrowI mean...2020 was his first super season and he’s been pretty constantly pick at 11 so a little harsh to say only locking down 1stXV this year is a bad thing
He’s also got over 70 games for all blacks sevens so it’s not like he’s some battler that’s had a couple of good games

This is making us look like dumb country hicks spruiking the next door neighbour
.Nareki hasn't exactly done much, if he had he'd have been picked before Caleb Clarke, Jordie Barrett, Sevu Reece and probably George Bridge. But he hasn't. Oh granted he's in the otago 1st XV and the other umm... All Blacks aren't...ummm.
So, ok he should be an All Black. Let's go.
Who does he displace? Which wing and in which combinations or positions?
Are these considerations or do we just look at a dozen crowdless silverware free games and shriek " He should be an All Black goddammit!""Pretty constantly picked for arguably the worst and probably the second worst super team in the country. Screams All Black starter doesn't it?
Edit: don't tell me you used 7s rugby as evidence of his suitability to be an AB because then we'll have to pick timmy Mickelson too. 80 games of 7s as an argument hardly elevates your selection hot take🤭

Once again...using your logic...we shouldn’t pick smith...surely managing to stand out in a poor team is a good sign in its own right
-
Am I the only one joking here?
But not about Nareki unless you tell me which incumbent he replaces and why. A reasonable question
-
@siam I assumed Clarke, he’s been good from what I’ve seen but not enough to show off someone else putting their hand up, maybe I’m wrong and he’s been world beating

Well, if he makes it he has my blessings. It'll be more of a reflection of NZ rugby than on Jonah being a world-class AB but yeah, I guess he'll be a fine tackle bag holder for the ABs in 2021.
God's speed to him!

So ... high tackles are just a penalty now? Framework ... pffft.
Also, goddamn that Aaron smith pickup and offload in tha ttry was sex on toast. Holy shit I got excited

Mmm
Been really impressed by Nareki this year. He's got a great skillset, links well, has a big left boot and his defence/anticipation against the Force was a stand out.
His hat trick against the Chiefs earlier in the year in a match winning performance put him on the radar but he's been doing all the periphery stuff very well too which I think has really impressed a lot of pundits.
With Caleb Clarke unavailable at the Olympics I think he'd make an excellent option for the ABs this season.
