We’ll know a lot move about Havili’s defence once he’s had Botia running at him all day.

@booboo really? Not sure that's a reflection of the strength of this team...maybe something else...
Like not following NH club rugby?

You should know who Yato is.
He was a beast at the last World Cup. His performance against Australia especially. -

Fair enough, however that was two years ago and I struggled to fit in watching all yhe games. I'm not Stargazer.

Do better next time.
I will concede that I tend to not know the players in teams I don't watch or take interest in.

I usually have a better idea, like I know 6N teams but don't watch much 6N.
Fiji just don't play enough.

I feel like watching the highlights of the major games at the World Cup is not that hard to fit in mate!

good to see Temo Maynanavanua get a start!

Nothing wrong with the question from @pakman Havili's had some problems on defence. He missed five tackles against the Brumbies for instance
Not a big deal, he's still in the early stages of learning the position

@chris His overall defense is a real strength but yeah still learning the trade at 12.

Both Havili and Tupaea have had some issues this year. I think it was Ioane who made Tupaea his bitch when we played the Blues.
Edit: I badly fucked that up. Tupaea exposed Roane who missed 6 tackles

I think that might have been last year? Tupaea exposed Plummer badly in Hamilton. The Chiefs should've got more points with the space that created. But that's just another example of how hard the position is on defence

Yep, you've got a better memory than me, it was in the first game of last season when Tupaea was at 13 and missed 4 tackles. He and Nankivell had a mare on defence that night (he also had 4 misses). Tupaea ran well though.
At least I didn't dream up my post above, I was starting to get really worried that I had gone right around the bend.

@voodoo said in All Blacks vs Fiji:
Seems to give credence to the suggestion that he wasn't entirely fit last week?
It's more about Ennor being injured. He's the only other real left wing in the squad (without moving RI)
Interesting that they rate Ennor enough that he's in the squad despite probably missing the first 3 games
When Jordan subs on I hope it's at 14 and they try Reece on the left.
