If half AB squad go straight to UK we could see a hybrid like this:
Ofa/Bell/Tosi/Holland/Darry/Paps/Bladder/Sotutu/Roigard/Plummer/Havili/Proctor/Telea/Narewa/Perofeta
Plummer got outplayed by his counterpart in a NPC game on Wednesday against Ta$man. Genuinely shouldn't be near the squad.
More use having Perofeta start there, and maybe someone from the XVs having a go at fullback.
As @Bones said recently, Super Rugby form doesn't matter, but coming in at short notice for an NPC game when he's been away from the Auckland squad all year does?
There have been many other All Blacks who have come into NPC teams in recent weeks and immediately made an impact.
Plummers Super Rugby form was vastly overrated.
He was behind the most dominant forward pack in super rugby that mainly dominated through their pack. Even Plummers kicking percentage wasnt even that great.
Plummer wasn't first choice 10 at the Blues until Perofeta got injured. And he was only picked at 10 in the playoffs because Perofeta had to fill in for the injured Sullivan at fullback. The Blues were 6-1 with Perofeta starting at 10 so they seemed to be fine without Plummer at 10.
He failed to make any impact in the NPC games he has been in since. There is no way Beauden or Dmac walk into an NPC side with no time with the team and don't immediately take control of the team and game when they're playing.
I can't believe we're making excuses for prospective All Blacks not performing at NPC level.

And I can't believe you're finding reasons to discredit Plummer's SR form. It goes both ways. You're just looking for reasons not to give him a run. Perofeta also had a shocker against the Tahs at 10, possibly the worst performance you'll see from a 10 and single handedly nearly cost us victory. We were also 5-1 with Perofeta, all against poor opposition. Only the Highlanders made the 8 in which we won under Perofeta, who also cost us top spot by missing an easy penalty where we missed out on a BP against the Canes, so it's fair to say that Plummer took his chance at 10.
Not saying Plummer is our long term 10, but fuck, let's at least try him at some stage to see what he's made of? To say just drop him altogether is a bit over the top after 3 mins of test rugby.

Yeah that's simply not true.
Cole Forbes was really good at fullback - Blues could have easily ran Perofeta at 10 and Forbes at 15.
Plummer stayed at 10 in the playoffs because he earned it and delivered.

I’m pretty sure it says ‘tell Booboo he fucked up and the rugby is on Saturday, remind him to buy beer and ask the Mrs if they can watch during dinner time.’
I’ll admit that I’m struggling with my translation of whether it is ‘him to buy beer’ or ‘buy beer for gt12’

Yes it is.
How much rugby has Plummer had in the last 3 months?
2 minutes in Wellington?

In terms of his run numbers in SR, the point was he's not a run first 10. I believe Razor is asking too much of DMac to run all the time, and that a good 10 should be able to pass to his midfield and let them go to work. Which Plummer was more likely to do with the Blues' gameplan
-
At the moment Razor is shoring up a bit of his time bringing back some of the guys who have gone offshore. Richie Mo and Shannon Frizzell will be big chess pieces. Next year's Superrugby will have to prioritizes getting quality 10s, hopefully by the time Richie comes back we don't need him, same could be said about Shannon in his position.

Let's no pretend like Mounga isn't going to walk back into the 10 jersey given Razor is in charge.....

@SBW1 said in All Blacks v Japan:
Hopefully none of the returning players are even needed for that matter.
We shouldn't have to lure players home (probably with big money offers). It sends the wrong message, and if they are diminished the pressure is on to play them anyway
-
Judging by the just announced squad of course Razor will welcome back Richie and Shannon next year ..
