    @Tim be annoyed if they drop Tupaea for Havili, Tupaea earned another chance to start, Havili offers versatility so is actually a good option off the bench.

    Would love to see RTS in there somewhere.

    He may be better off in the All Black XV if they don't want to give him any minutes in this series or the Rugby Championship. The fact they brought in the hopeless Ennor tells me they don't have too much faith in him yet which is a bummer, he could not have done any worse than Ennor.

    I’m hoping that Ennor’s performance has finally convinced them that his ceiling is Super.

    I'd love to see him move back to the wing.

    Why? So he can miss tackles and drop the ball a bit wider out?

    He was a bloody good winger. Moving him to centre has "ruined his career".

      One space further out than wing would be ideal.

          Ennor actually looked pretty promising on the wing for a while there. Shifting him around hasn't helped him

                    When he first appeared he made a couple of breaks from centre and was anointed a great prospect.

                      Both Razor and the AB coaches seemed to have it that way eh, was really puzzling as to what us observers were missing there.

                        My point about both Havili and Mo'unga is that they don't handle the physical teams well, and come RWC time most teams gameplan against us is to try and bash us into submission. Those two starting would be cannon fodder. Players like Beauden, Goodhue, Tupaea and RTS are much better equipped to deal with that.

                          @Tim be annoyed if they drop Tupaea for Havili, Tupaea earned another chance to start, Havili offers versatility so is actually a good option off the bench.

                          Would love to see RTS in there somewhere.

                          He may be better off in the All Black XV if they don't want to give him any minutes in this series or the Rugby Championship. The fact they brought in the hopeless Ennor tells me they don't have too much faith in him yet which is a bummer, he could not have done any worse than Ennor.

                          I’m hoping that Ennor’s performance has finally convinced them that his ceiling is Super.

                          I'd love to see him move back to the wing.

                          Why? So he can miss tackles and drop the ball a bit wider out?

                          He was a bloody good winger. Moving him to centre has "ruined his career".

                          Didn’t he start at centre (below international level)?

                          I only recall him as an excellent wing for the Crusaders.

                          When he first appeared he made a couple of breaks from centre and was anointed a great prospect.

                            My point about both Havili and Mo'unga is that they don't handle the physical teams well, and come RWC time most teams gameplan against us is to try and bash us into submission. Those two starting would be cannon fodder. Players like Beauden, Goodhue, Tupaea and RTS are much better equipped to deal with that.

                              I think he's vastly better than you give him credit for.

                              Beauden and RTS had a good opportunity to display their talents against a team bashing them into submission in the Soup final.

                                  Beauden outside his half - deadly. But his panicked moments that sprang up under pressure in his own half during SR were worrying. At least they're only confined to half the field I guess.

                                    @Chris-B I'm down on Richie because every year he carves up in SR, and every year he can't translate to test rugby. The Adam Thomson of first fives.

                                    RTS was fine in the final until he went off injured at half time.

                                    And the Crusaders didn't bash the Blues into submission, they played a smart game controlling possession and territory in the rain to nulify the Blues strengths. As was mentioned a lot at the time, they are a very well coached team that sticks to their gameplan methodically.

                                        @Tim be annoyed if they drop Tupaea for Havili, Tupaea earned another chance to start, Havili offers versatility so is actually a good option off the bench.

                                        Would love to see RTS in there somewhere.

                                        He may be better off in the All Black XV if they don't want to give him any minutes in this series or the Rugby Championship. The fact they brought in the hopeless Ennor tells me they don't have too much faith in him yet which is a bummer, he could not have done any worse than Ennor.

                                        I’m hoping that Ennor’s performance has finally convinced them that his ceiling is Super.

                                        I'd love to see him move back to the wing.

                                        Why? So he can miss tackles and drop the ball a bit wider out?

                                        He was a bloody good winger. Moving him to centre has "ruined his career".

                                        Didn’t he start at centre (below international level)?

                                        I only recall him as an excellent wing for the Crusaders.

                                        When he first appeared he made a couple of breaks from centre and was anointed a great prospect.
                                        One of the one eyed crew should remember

                                        Pretty sure he was a wing - think he even covered fullback?

                                        @Crucial How is that meant to be read? Is 2018 saying he played 8 games as a sub, 8 as a centre then one on the wing?

                                        I guess I only remember him from 2019. I had a quick look and saw he came on at fullback in the 2018 final then gave up.

                                          @Chris-B I'm down on Richie because every year he carves up in SR, and every year he can't translate to test rugby. The Adam Thomson of first fives.

                                          RTS was fine in the final until he went off injured at half time.

                                          And the Crusaders didn't bash the Blues into submission, they played a smart game controlling possession and territory in the rain to nulify the Blues strengths. As was mentioned a lot at the time, they are a very well coached team that sticks to their gameplan methodically.
