Good strawman bro. You're all over the show, first Nareki is running through weak defences so it doesn't count...oh but Will Jordan carved up Southland a couple of years ago!
How much you had to drink? Yeah thought so...Jordan has gobbled up all the fucken NZ super awards for 2 years running you buffoon. Nareki has played in losing teams for the same period. Nareki is better eh you fucken dolt.
You know nothing Jon Snowbones!
Please give my best to the wife and we still on for brunch at the pastry place Thursday? Totes excited about that catch up!

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!

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.

@stargazer owning it
will have to go back and see if it was on out wide
edit: its hard to tell because Stan went for a super tight shot on it but a couple of angles looking like it might have been 3 on 3 out wide

@kiwiwomble I think it was on outwide, but the snipe was too, although didnt he lose if before the line

@taniwharugby they call the knock on dont they?
3 on 3 with a 3rd of the pitch i would often back the attacking team, but at least on of our three was Johnston (prop) so then you start thinking, is he going to try and barge over himself, does he have the quick hand to get it wide...really wish there was a wider angle
