Fucking Finau

Was keeping an eye on him on your recommendation. Think he played himself out of immediate contention with one play, or non play, on Grace. Unforgivable.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how RTS goes now. The chiefs 12 was cake, if he's our guy for the ABs we're in trouble.
@Bones Just remember who he was operating outside of. Gatland is predictable and offered no ability to break the line so they could focus on Tupea. I not saying he the best we have but I must be hard looking at 2 tacklers in front on you all the time.

That's not the case.

After tonight's game, Hodgman secures on the LH positions, RTS needs more time, Robinson 100% should be in.

I can see Perofeta in the squad and in the 23 for one of the later tests. Turning into a very safe, mature player.

@number9 Eh? Why Hodgman? Agree with Robinson(have for the last few years).

@number9 Hodgman was brilliant tonight at leading our counter rocking. A perfect bench option at test level imo.

Can't see Alix Hodgemen making it. When is Moody back?
De Groot, Williams look like future stars rather than honest toilers. Is Norris LH also?

In 2023.
@Stargazer He can take longer to return if he likes. He has been underwhelming for a couple of years now. Has no go forward and we need that in our props.

Might come back refreshed and rejuvenated! Can get some inspiration from Laulala.

Thought it was, saw somewhere about it.

Who does Robinson get in there for? He played very well tonight no doubt about it.

He's a lock/loose utility at Test level. Probably late squad pick, but can't see him in the 23 unless weird things happen.
Playing well doesn't necesarily get you into the ABs - as you say, there has to be a space that you are better than someone else to get in.
I think Perofeta gets there as the third 10 and utility back. Competing iwth DMac when he comes back though

Not listed to be on Sky at this stage. Maybe streamed via allblacks.com socials?

@Bones one can only hope because with the ABs sometimes these characters hang around based on reputation and not performance. Yes good for Nepo in the scrum last night but I think you would agree that we need props that can scrum and take up the ball and the rest. Not one dimensional. Plus yea he stayed out of the bin.
