Once you rule out Sivivatu, who's next in line as a #8 in NZ though?
HAH! Now that'd be interesting to see.

Except he's playing numbers 6 and 8 in their wrong positions.
Same old mistakes....“You’ve got to be able to adapt to different scenarios, and there’s not too much difference between the 6 and 8 roles nowadays. You’re a ball player either way.”
Read said it himself in the latest Rugby News - Before the French test team was announced.

At one point a man in front of us turned around with an incredulous eyebrow raised, as there were about 6 french players offside, and at least 3 of us just nodded sagely at him.
I liked him!

He's injured
One stitch?! I thought he'd still be able to play.

A personal positive: Thank you, Julien Dupuy, for showing that a guy who weighs 4kg more than me CAN play international rugby, and play it well.

I'm aware it's a slightly ridiculous peeve of mine, but C-O-R-Y, people, C-O-R-Y!

I don't know why they persist with using him in that role either. I can't ever recall him making significant ground, sucking up a bunch of tacklers, or breaking through, in umpteen tests now.
I don't think that is the point. The point is to get the opposition halfback/1st five [and wing/centre if you can] trapped in the ruck, allowing you to have wings step around their forwards. The Chiefs did it to perfection a few times before Sivi was injured.
It doesn't work first time though - the pick and go where we went through 10 phases before spreading it wide was a good example. Although was that the one that led to the intercept?
Which - all things aside - is the only thing shadowing the performance. I didn't think the team was going to decisively win, but I thought it would be close and bar that one, final try to bump up the score, it was - even though the first 20 minutes didn't suggest it would be.

Tracey Nelson's game stats are up.
They suggest lots of work from Thorn and Mealamu.And backing up my claim that Thomson did a bit more than his fellow loosies, and didn't have a bad game. Why he never had a ball carry perplexes me though.
Can anyone remember [Hadyn, Megan or others] when there was the 5 forwards up on the wing? I'm trying to find it to clip it and post it.
