      Papalii a better winger than Bridge.

      I think the only All Black that wouldn't be is probably Owen Franks

        Can't even score a half century in 40mins against this team. Dreadful.

          The amount of turnovers against this very poor Tongan team has been absolutely horrendous

            I'd say Beauden would like to be out there too.

                It's been obvious all season that Bridge is in terrible form. It's been obvious for a long while he is a very limited option. And yet Foster and Co. selected him on the Left Wing for the ABs. 🤬

                If I had to choose between him and Jordie..

                Jordie can at least beat a man one on one. Bridge is like picking a hooker that can’t throw into a line out.

                    Are there no Cantabs on the Fern anymore? Bridge is taking a hammering and there's no one defending him.

                      I think every AB has beaten a player except Bridge....

                        @stag ABs have been committing about one man per ruck. Would be better served getting some contact practice in by hitting rucks.

                                And not permitting any kicking. Treat this like the RWC group stage match against minnows it is.

                                    Yes sorry I didn't make myself clear, Jordie looks about the same 'speed' and has much greater impact.

                                        @gt12 What can you say, though? BMW up against a Ford Prefect.

                                        Much more like the @His-Bobness we know and miss on this site.

                                          Dropped passes, bombed two or three trys by just not doing the basics. Can’t beat a man in a game like this is very poor
