NZ Rugby being flush with wingers and loosies? twas ever thus

[Kiwiwomble]

theyre not all copies of each other either....im hoping to see a little rotation depending on opposition, if we can keep all four fit and sharp (experienced) and actually play to their strengths......im getting excited

[Kirwan]

Isn't Reece heading off to France later this year? I'd pick Clarke, Telea and Nawera. Reece's defensive issues were still apparent in the tougher games, will be exposed even more at the higher level.

I'd rather take a punt on Nawera.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Kirwan i can get on board with that, reece is obviously on a good run of form but not so much that boody Nawera wouldn't be preferred for me

Rumor only, signed until the end of the year, I think

he was a standout in a bottom of the table team.

That's not always as good as you're making out.

Think Aumua when he was at MP...

They've all got defensive weaknesses. I doubt Tele'a will be used on the left wing, and wouldn't be surprised if Reece started ahead of him on the right.

[Kiwiwomble]

through Tavatavanawai in the discussion if we're talking defence, he's been bloody solid and LOVES a turnover

[African Monkey]

@Kiwiwomble He's like a Fijian Rene Ranger.

[Old Samurai Jack]

I though Nareki would be in the conversation. His left boot would be a weapon like Lowe for Ireland.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Old-Samurai-Jack he's also a machine on defence, text book hard low tackles....but he shone at super level before and not got a sniff so assume they just see something they dont like

Happy to wait untill he's got his pace back, certainly signs of it in his last game.

Or, there's a logjam of talent outside.

Reece
Clarke
Jordan
Barrett
etc ... there are a lot of really really good outside backs.

yeah, poor choice of words, rather than see something they dont like, theyre not seeing something that would elevate him above those others

how he didn;t get a shot above bridge i cant explain

[Bones]

I really like ENS too, just does things right, makes good decisions and seems very error free.

The winning SR Final halfback will probably start against England
