I defy anyone to name another player in NZ who could have done a better job than JB at 12. Our failure to succeed was as much about the pattern we chose to play than anything. We departed from the game plan from the Ireland victory, for the second RWC in a row, and consequently came unstuck. IMHO he is a core backline piece, the question Razor will ask is who will play beside him
With Jason Holland selecting the MF,Billy Procter probably comes in to contention at 13.
Ioane has played well over the last year, but he doesn't distribute the ball to his outsides as a typical 13 should. Proctor had a very good SR season last year, he has a chance to pair up with JB again

I thought he played very well, and he was excellent at running off JB. I'm just saying he could set his outsides up more

I'm interested to see what O'Halloran can do with Ioane for the Blues.

"Rieko still has a level to go to. I've looked at aspects of his game and there are changes we can make that i'm pretty sure he'll be receptive to."Changes:
- Not using the 'handbag under the chicken wing' technique to carry the ball. Two hands on the ball, please.
- Learning the meaning of 'Play and let play'.
- Increasing his situational awareness and improving his decision-making on attack & defence.

If Jordie or Mo'unga could kick their goals, we'd be lauding all of them as heros now. One goddamn point.
On 12 for next year, Tupaea isn't big, but can carry. It will be interesting to see how he goes.

Yeah, I get the structure, But who is actually in charge of selecting the team? Or do you mean training squad.
EDIT: Just seen you replied "Both".
So in reality it's a committee of 5 to pick 15 positions for a Test match and that committee is overseen by one bloke with input from another. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I agree TBH. It's a big weakness.
However, Jordie's 5 made, 2 missed, 3 turnovers in the final doesn't exactly shout safe as houses either.
I do think that Jordie did a great job making a fuckload of tackles in the semi and quarter, but he also only ran at about 80% success. He missed plenty against the Argies and a few against the Irish.

I think the argument isn't about whether JB is better than DH, but if he's the long term answer. JB did OK (far from a criticism), plugged a gap well and maybe he'll develop with Reiko, but he's pretty limited at 12 thus far.
Still see him in the starting XV this year but I'd expect Robertson, Holland, Smith (or whoever is in overall charge of selection) to be developing options pretty quickly. JB's value off the bench is huge so hope he'll be around for a while.

However, Jordie's 5 made, 2 missed, 3 turnovers in the final doesn't exactly shout safe as houses either.
I do think that Jordie did a great job making a fuckload of tackles in the semi and quarter, but he also only ran at about 80% success. He missed plenty against the Argies and a few against the Irish.
Yep no argument there Jordie was not alway
Perfect.
