    You shouldn't be able to be selected if you don't have that skill.

    NZR run WR, so they could get it written into the laws.

    @Tim bro, Clarke? Come on. He and his fellow winger probably had the worst performances. They did the odd good thing but a lot of that was discounted by some very poor play. Both made yards but then undo any good work by mistakes or bad judgment.

    Samisoni just miles ahead, what a player.

    Gave my 2nd and 3rd to Rieko and Jordie who were the best of the rest I thought. Everyone was extremely inconsistent really.

    You may have missed his match thread post - he's trashed.

    Very surprised by that. @Tim is usually sober during matches.

    Hard to pick. They all played well in periods. Then undid all that work by resorting to Foster-Ball.

    @Bones Caleb Clarke made 146 metres running. Next best from an All Black was Jordie Barrett with 49.

    There are lots of work ons in his game, but his rawness is fantastic.

    @Bones But it's worth adding that I found the third pick hard.

    ABs don't need raw. They need athletes that can execute basic skills and have a modicum of peripheral vision. It's quite incredible for Clarke to clock those numbers and still possibly not be a net positive.

    @Frye He makes yards and often good yards every time he has the ball in hand. Not many current ABs do that. Caleb Clarke is genuine power winger.

    Too much speed work, not enough basics. Nice of him to rack up all those extra metres running away from his teammates and ruining opportunities.

    Codswallop. H makes metres by being put into space. Then tackles himself before the opposition get a chance and doesn't link

    @Bones He's a power winger. It's his job to smash on as hard as he can.

    The AB support play for breaks, that was out of this world about ten years ago, is now very poor.

    @Bones Without Clarke, we'd have a backline all of whom make less than 50 metres a Test. No, thank you.

    Would be nice if he did that instead of starting to go to ground before he reaches the tackler.

    The support play on the times he got put into space was fine. It's his job to link.

    There's more than half a dozen players that should be considered motm before he even enters the thought process.

    @Bones There was an obvious MoM (ST) who was outstanding, Whitelock was brilliant in the lineout yet again, apart from that it was a very mixed bag from the Men in Black, no one else more than a 7/10.

    Nearly went with Nugget or BBBR for the 3rd vote. But nothing like their best test displays.

    Definitely not, but still much more positive contributions.
