Messam, tbh I thought we was going to be a stinker at test level. A super Rugby flash harry a-la Fafita. Man, was I wrong, he stepped up so well. A very good All Black.
He's relevant to the not-tall 6 discussion going on though.

How does Ioane get concussed by not playing?
Must be some full on training.

That’s horrible, tough situation.

Big Boys pants on for the Perth test, apparently, some powder to be brought out of storage - starting XV wise.
*Hansen indicated we would be a lot wiser post-Saturday night in Perth.
"We"ll look to start building the various combinations we want and probably put the strongest sides together we can over the next couple of weeks.
"We know the more games we have, the more time we spend together, we're going to improve. How much we'll just have to wait and see."*

I don’t get why so many are worried about form right now. Yes there are test matches to play, but the season has only just started and some players are only just building their workload and once they have that up they can launch from there.
I don’t doubt there are selection questions that from the armchair remain a mystery, but if we are going through those that have been criticised as “not at their best”, for example Ioane and Read, I actually think they will come right.

The problem with this talk, just to add to the confusion
In recent times we usually look more comfortable against the wallabies, so it will be difficult to know how much to read into a better performance

Without any knowledge of what it’s like for the players and team in the lead up to a Wallabies test, I do get the sense that we lift because we are playing to retain the Bledisloe and that means something to players, NZ rugby, fans.

News Flash: SBW played the full 80 mins in Katikati today so still in one piece.
Not necessarily one piece, could've played through a 'niggle' that now means x weeks on the sidelines...

The Stuff article speculates Read and Savea might share the 6 and 8 duties.
Can anyone explain why Cane is not seen as the 6 rather than Savea?

It depends on what they want from their no.6. Cane hasn't played much at 6, but I don't think Ardie has either.
At the backend of the Chiefs season, Cane and Boshier played together but from memory Cane still played as the traditional openside rather than left and right flankers.
