@ruggabee Ardie improved immensely last year as captain. I remember the majority on here wanted him to stay captain but obviously Cane took over again.
In fact, did Ardie lose a game as captain last year? His winning percentage was way higher than Canes wasn’t it?

I mean, Savea's win percentage was higher, but that's hardly a fair measure. Cane captained in all five of the All Blacks' tough Tests (SA 1, SA 2, France, Ireland, SA 3) and they won two and lost three. Savea wasn't asked to be captain in any of the tough games.

Didn't Narawa also produce some pretty impressive touch-finders in today's game?

LoveYou're missing two players even if you have both Numia and Williams. 32 man squad and you've named 30. A halfback and a lock I imagine.

He did.
I'd prefer TWO FUCKIN HANDS when running in tries though. -

@george33 AJ Lam lol, nope. He’s well down the pecking order. If his brother wasn’t an AB he will never be.

He's not that far down the pecking order he's been in All Blacks XV before and is developing into a player that can cover midfield and wing - playing in a winning team and having a strong season.

@KiwiMurph my take is he's ahead of a couple more that's being floating aroud super

Hotham has to be close with Roigard injured, he’s been the best halfback in SR the past month

I would think Hotham is also the closest to Roigard as a running HB.

He is proving to be quite smart in his decisions around when to run. I also like the way he is still managing to clear the ball while under pressure and at times actually having players hanging off him after they have come through the ruck.
