This might give those thinking of backing a Joseph/Brown combo to replace I. Foster as AB coach something to think about when they look at who Joseph/Brown have recruited into their Brave Blossoms coaching team

Caught up with some DMac highlights on Youtube. He's having a field day at this level.
Looking like peak Super Rugby DMac without the crazies. Must be loving it.
Some of his passing touches are sublime and at this level he gets that extra split second to evade people.
They'll be thinking he's worth every Yen plus more. -
DMac still having a ball,
Hope he's on a points bonus, can cash in and come back.I think he's still a nice to have in an AB squad and has matured well.

I just watched Suntory v Red Hurricanes. It's really not fair for opposition teams to come up against both DMac and Kerevei.
