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.
@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

Could put any of those 4 in there and they would all do well, were pretty spoilt for choice when it comes to wingers.
Personally I think Sevu deserves a spot as he was a standout in a bottom of the table team.
I'm hoping all 4 will be selected, all 4 will get game time and the 2 best performers get their spot for the big games

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.

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

@Kiwiwomble He's like a Fijian Rene Ranger.

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

@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. -

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

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
-
Christie has had a bloody charmed run.
-Got selected for the ABs because of there being no viable alternatives behind Smith (admittedly showing some good form)
-Has never showed anything special in Black
-Inexplicably preferred over Roigard for key finals match-ups in the World Cup.
-Clearly usurped by his back-up at the Blues this year.
-Tin-asses his way into the ABs because of Roigard's injury, his rivals' inexperience, and perceived steadiness.
-Now, if the Blues win, he might ride the coat tails of the Blues forwards as the starting halfback for the ABs.
(oh - and he's ginga)

Regardless of what happens in the SR Final I'd pick Ratima- DMac

Still true, both were okay in tough circumstances today.
