Certainly the progress of Love and his acclamation to the 10 jersey of BB does help things.

I argue Jordie has improved, but just with his understand of the style of attack he’s trying to bring from his Leinster days. Nothing to do with Rennie. Same with Tupaea, though as much as I wanted him given opportunities in his prime position you can credit the coaching team for him having worked so far.

Dave Rennie opens up on All Blacks’ progress ahead of first SA Test

Issue is that the improvement is deceptive because its based on a game against a 3rd /4th choice Bulls front row.

All Blacks pile 50 on the Bulls to remain undefeated in Greatest Rivalry tour

I did not see Caleb Clarke was out injured. Thats a pity.

Moodie is a bit behind Kriel in experience and years but nobody is under any illusion that he is the understudy. There is also Ethan Hooker but he hasn’t had much oportunity at 13 yet, being prefered as a starting 11.

Less penalties and no cards. Was that because the ABs discipline was better or the ref happened to be the best on tour so far?

The stormers was the first game, sharks was second, they asked him the question after the third game against the Bulls.

There has certainly been improvement in the scrum.

A few minutes more is better imo it’s a start and this tour rotation mixing up the 23s so far has been great albeit as I said above it presents an opportunity to do so that Razor ultimately never had.

See my ramblings over on Bens article.

From what I have observed there has been a lot of probing happening by our URC teams, obviously from work done with the mobi unit.

Winning a scrum…? What about the rest?

Against the Stormers it was horrendous, only finding parity and not being able to walk over what the Sharks put out was equaly horrendous.

Oh yeah? Interesting, it’s subjective but he just isn’t passing the eye test for me at the moment, he seems a bit off.

That might just be because he set such a high bar for himself on his debut season?

I don’t think they’ll agree with that Baz. They’ll just to take a 10/15 cover on the bench as well as your ALB or Rieko midfield over.

Fehi was given 10 minutes by Rennie in the first game of the season. Not much better for Aumua, and that’s after he’d proved himself with Razor.

It’s the same story for many others, even Lakai! Try and compare him to Rassie, even try and compare the French and Irish games to the Italy one. Rennie is every bit as gunshy as Razor was with his bench usage when it comes down to it. I do wonder what Razor would have done with the pressure off in this URC games.

Comparing against themselves and the opposition they have played not the Boks what else can they do? they improved no doubt whether or not it’s enough is a different question

I mean I see what you’re saying. Barrett inserted himself well in the 13 channel to draw their winger and free up ours, good rugby.

But it’s when he jumps into first receiver and suddenly everyone outside him have no time on the ball and often get spot tackled, killing all momentum. Agree, Jordan is less of a play maker and more of a Cullen esque fullback that hits the holes himself. But with Roigard, Love and Jordie we have enough playmaking ability on the field. Moorby or Narawa are too green for a big test at the back I reckon.
