Why Rieko Ioane needed Leinster stint after finding himself in a 'rut'

Be good to see him on the wing against the Stormers outsideTT and Proctor, the former representing a straight line threat - and dragging players

to him, the latter then providing good distribution to Rieko in space. Be good to show our second / third choice players good too.

Dave Rennie adds three possible debutants to 44-man squad for South Africa

Ok - I am not a huge EB fan btw. Just saw the numbers - and was in fact surprised. I think though that PCMs / carry are a huge feature of thr Bok game and a major threat to ABs. Players who can make dominant tackles will be key to stopping the Bok machine.

Report: Moana Pasifika's Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa tipped to make All Blacks squad

Sadly as I posted below: Actually forget that - just announced signed with Stade Francais!

250 Kiwi - max for Super or Euro’s and guess he would have attracted some big Euro’s after his Super Season Performance!

Cool. Yeah sure is, tough gig making a AB squad though, not much rotation.

I think we will know when next years Super squads are announced.

If he performed will at ITM Cup, could be a dark horse for Nth Tour, but really unlikely - I think they will go with Kryen Taumoefolau, as he becomes available in October.

The three selections that reveal how Les Kiss’ Wallabies will play

We are not expecting miracles. Just our best team on the field with some intelligent strategies. Which we have been missing for a long looooong time.

Just because we don’t suddenly become number one doesn’t mean we need more Tahs in the team. I’d be happy with 6th, then 4th then 2nd then 1 but it could take 4 to 5 years. It will likely take Kiss 12 to 18 months to untrain the Wallabies from Schmidt’s failed strategies. It invariably does for a new coach.

It’s OK to get sick of something. He probably could have got another job but obviously needed a change. I don’t think there’s any great conspiracy. People need a change sometimes.

Agree that Kirifi’ is unlikely to get in to the squad for RWC 2027. Segner seems to be favored.

I only mentioned RWC 2027 as that is when Kirifi is contracted to.

Did you mean “NH Rugby”? As in north harbour.

Yea I’d seen that but it’s just a 3 month deal with NH right. Hope it becomes more and signing gets across the line.

I’m saying theyre not dominant tackles. Kirifi would have had more dominant tackles than EB.

Hope I don’t have to add that tackle is an art, and it’s not just all about smashing your opponent. Love EBs play but he certainly shouldn’t be associated with being a “dominant tackle”, quoting a statistical number is one thing, using it in a gneral phrase another!

Steve Hansen: All Blacks have found 'something that's been missing the last couple years'

No, I just understand how things work.

You can too just by thinking about this. Razor was successful at the Crusaders, but not at the All Blacks. Just because a culture can work at one place, doesn’t mean it will everywhere. Obviously then that doesn’t change the fact it was still a culture of excellence.

Perhaps people can understand RA’s predicament having to sign these wonderkids on more megga bucks than even the French if theyre to combat all these vultures.
