@Kruse thank you for succinctly translating my post above yours.

No worries.
I'm Monday-evening beered up loquacious. When I'm always happy to give the "TL;DR" version of a pithy comment.
Wasn't too sure if your "Corner store" and "washing machine" posts were in the piss-taking of a certain #33 that I initially assumed, but if so... full applause.

And this is supposed to be easier to follow?

[Bones]

@Kruse No just my opinion from what I was told by my informants

Absoutely not... and the nod to the material wasn't even deliberate, although I did realise at the time of writing that I was being cryptic, and doubting whether drunken cryptic would translate to sober comprehension.
So... fucking hypocrite, except... I doubt there's any self-awareness with our #33 friend.

Edit: fucking hell. What a mess. Reminder: stay off the Fern after drinking in the sun.

I think we are ok there

We have international experience available at 2, 4, 6 and 10.

I think developing that international quality lock alongside Scooter is the biggest challenge.

BB may get sometime at 10 in Japan to develop his game.

He's only had a gazillion years to do that in NZ.

Havili's best bet to get a starting place in the ABs is at 10.
Not sure how he'd game time there at Super level though.

Crusaders seem pretty flush with proven midfielders and fullbacks, not so much at ten.

Good vision, excellent handling and a big boot, with very decent pace. I can't see why not.

[Blunders]

@DaGrubster agreed a big concern especially when playing the tier 1 sides.

[Blunders]

@Bones would love to see it, I don't think he is an international quality 12 but perhaps he could convert himself into a decent 10 especially with the lack of experience we have there now. There are too many decent midfielders and I don't think he is the answer especially with most teams for a tank at 12 like Aki, Tuilagi, De Allende, French guy to name a few.

If Beauden can do it, Havili can.

If we're discussing an incredibly average 12 as the answer to the AB 10 slot, then the argument that NZ rugby has all the cattle it needs is seriously fucked.

Then I'm another confused by the context.

@SBW1 sounds like Perofeta will b getting the first start in the 10 jersey, Zarn I'm sure will get time also until Beauden returns

So you also were reading a mystery conversation discussing an incredibly average twelve as the answer at ten? Seems those posts were deleted before I got to read them.

Nah I only saw one about Havili's chances of getting time at ten for the crusaders and responded to that. Feel free to repost the others for us though, Mr Knobjockey.

In a thread titled "All Blacks 2024", you quoted the following: Havili's best bet to get a starting place in the ABs is at 10.
