@Steven-Harris said in Highlanders v Chiefs:
@Stargazer that was a critisim of James Lowes as well ,i do wonder however if all the other tools SS brings to the table outweigh any defensive issues
Poor defence didn't hold back Reece from being selected for the ABs.
Reece is the best winger defensively in the Crusaders & All Blacks, Jordan on the other hand is usually a liability, he has cost his team/s numerous times in crucial moments on defense at SR and test level, it appears that people only look at his contributions on attack, however strength of defense and collisions is what determines matches at international level which is why Reece & Narawa are better options at 14 than Jordan for the All Blacks IMO.
,My All Black back 3 would be Fainga'anuku, Stevenson, Narawa. Big, physically imposing & defensively solid.

Reece had very poor defence when first making the ABs. Don't pretend otherwise.

Happy to excuse their ineptitude because apparently they are only required to play well in September?
Loving watching them are ya?

Did you even see the Clarke + Akira try? I’ll take that for the ABs in a World Cup.
I think your post should be in the GOM thread

@mariner4life Stick DMac in the Blues team. Would be very happy with that.

How many ABs do you need to beat the most retched, soulless franchise in super rugby history?
Should we also bring back Carlos?

Clearly we already have enough to flog the Highlanders.

That's a solid burn

The best tight 5 has been the Highlanders
They'll get 1 ABThe best loose trio has been the Chiefs
They'll get one ABThe best inside backs have been the Chiefs, They'll be off the bench
The best midfield has been the Blues, one will be in the ABs
The best outside backs have been the Chiefs
They'll probably get no players selectedOf the ABs were a rep side talkback radio would go fucking off.

Let's just select this backline because we all know how playing players out of position works so wonderfully well at a WC.
9. Smith
10. DMac - a fullback playing 10
11. SStevenson - a fullback playing wing
12. JBarrett - a fullback playing 12
13. RIoane - a wing playing centre
14. WJordan - a fullback playing wing
15. BBarrett - a first five playing fullback -

@mariner4life Don't forget that, at that this time last year, the Blues were unbeatable, but didn't go on to dominate the ABs either.

@Steve Im picking the current AB coaching setup will pick the senior incumbents. They need to pick on form.

Works so well for the Canes!
