Jordie could still kick those and play at 12. Just saying.
Would be interesting to see him give 12 a decent crack at this level. It might suit him because it would give him less time to think and do something stupid.
@pukunui I know he isnt at that level, but I feel the same about Gregory, better when he has less time to think too much at 12 than at the back

@Yeetyaah I guess the theory is it gets you to 2 scores...but yeah, odd call, bang to corner and go
-
knock on by Dmac, but Kirifi clearly off his feet getting it back

The gap between Aaron Smith and every other halfback in NZ is like the Grand Canyon.
Unfortunately we don’t have a culture in NZ of producing top quality, technical halfbacks. We tend to favour guys who are great footy players, but who are a bit small, and then squeeze them in there. Every 30 years or so a Bachop or a Smith comes along but we really struggle to produce decent 9s consistently like other nations do (thinking especially countries like RSA, France and Wales here). A shit halfback is like having a shit forward pack - just kills everything at the source

And when people identify a suitable candidate to replace Smith, he gets no gametime.

who else is available in the loosies?
I see no reason to not invest in TTT as much as possible
ALB is needed of course
And some help out wide - both Alaimalo and Stevenson are missing?

I don't have a problem with that card. Clearly offside at the lineout and on a team warning for too many penalties.

And all the five in a row the chiefs got first half?

@gt12 Is there a six in the squad?
Depth is poor this year (worse than recent years), and it's really showing.

Or a decent 8.
Flanders just resgined with the Canes otherwise he would have been a good pickup for these positions.
