I can not see due to NPC or AB form so far this season why Sotutu is coming into a selection debate.Way behind the 3 starters from the last test, as well as Jacobsen and Blackadder.
To be fair he’s had one opportunity this season, so it’s hardly worth giving up on him just yet given the opportunities that lay ahead.

I wouldn’t give up on him ,
He has just slid down the pecking order at the moment . -

@chris Not Blackadder but yes to everyone else and rightly so.

Jordie deserves a start IMO.

@act-crusader oh shit, you got me.

@kirwan pretty sure he's started on the wing more times than he has at fullback. Point is he deserves a good crack at fullback with the way he's played at Super level for the last two years.
We haven't seen Jordie and Jordan team up together in the backfield yet so hopefully that becomes true over the next couple of months.

I see lots of people expecting BB to "carve up" or "take his opportunity" to "put pressure" on RM this week. Bit of a shit sandwich if you ask me. Fly to Perth with key players left behind. Still tinkering with our back row. TJ back in the 9 jumper. He could easily have some pretty average ball to use.
I hope he goes well, but I won't be jumping on the bandwagon to bag him if he doesn't.

@machpants And he has years of experience playing with TJP next to him, and Ardie in front of him.

Sorry you poor Mexicans down south but have to brag about tickets for the double farking header at Suncorp! How good is that.
Now, there will probably be an outbreak and it will be cancelled....

@kirwan said in All Blacks 2021:
How many starts has he had at fullback?
Started 8 tests at fullback and 8 tests on the wing (7 on right and 1 on left).
Has played a bit of both off the bench.

@machpants said in All Blacks 2021:
People seem to forget sbw played two sessions in France before coming to NZ and the ABs. Even then he still couldn't de League his tackles, and had kick it dead and get a yellow brain farts for ABs. RTS had heft it too late to make the RWC squad imo, especially with covid disruptions
SBW was a back rower who moved to the midfield
RTS is a shit hot fullback who will play wing.
Korobete is a good comparison, he was good pretty much straight away.

Give him time though, to give him the best chance. We've seen way too many shit hot League players who've turned out to be shit playing rugby at Test level.
