    Fox has been impressed by Ioane’s work at 13 for the Blues in SRA

    “He a big, strong man, very quick, and he’s tidied his running lines up the last few weeks, got a little bit squarer, and more abrasive into the contact area. He’s got a great set of hands, he’s able to set guys free outside him, and defensively he’s sound enough, though he’s still got a little bit of work to do there.

          usually a fair assumption

          but not this time. RM the better 10, so that means BB to the bench.

          I used the 23 jersey because my team has 6 bench forwards...

            @mariner4life Lets see Mo'unga's defence, kicking game, and composure at test level. It didn't look very flash last time.

                            @Kiwiwomble no. It's tough and test rugby intense. But they're all Kiwi sides playing kiwi style. It's against teams that play against our style that we are struggling against

                                It must be remembered Richie Mounga has only started 10 tests.

                                He simply needs more experience at test level.

                                    Hopefully Peter Umaga-Jensen gets gametime.
                                    Best center in Super rugby this year.

                                        @Tim It all started with that bad missed tackle.

                                        What a coaching masterclass - put the worst defender miles away from a flanker...

                                          This will cheer you up.

                                          "It was a lack of space available," Foster says of Mikaele-Tu'u's exclusion.
