Auoi sole don’t get me excited chehoo lesgooo Some amazing suggestions but if you’re going for size Umaga Jenson and Levi Aumua for some destructive carries, i think the only positions we solid in is the front row, my favourite player is Reiko but he should have stayed on the wing hes a finisher
I know he's playing 13 a lot in France, but I really wish they'd look at Leicester as a Umaga/Nonu style 12 when he gets back. If he's paired with Mo'unga when he returns, that's a good familiar combo to have. Jordie runs into contact with venom, but he just doesn't have the raw power to bend the line often. I think the top Super Rugby duo next year will be the Hurricanes pairing of Higgins and Proctor. Not that I see the ABs ever dropping Jordie/Rieko. They seem super-glued there no matter how they play.
@@Rugbytalks2k24 Think he and Mo'unga will be back middle of next season for the end of year tour? I know it's been officially announced Leicester is returning, not sure about Mo'unga, although it seems likely.
The biggest issue that everyone seems to not understand here is that the top teams are using a rush umbrella defence! I cannot understand how people do NOT see that literally every time Ioane gets the ball the defence are right on top of him from an out-to-in giving Ioane the minimal time to react! The defence cannot afford to give Ioane space because of his speed Ioane is gone on that outside break! What people fail to understand is that the ABs has failed to create some space or hesitation in the defence on the inside to give Ioane that time and space! For me Ioane is the best centre in NZ and we need him there!
@@Rugbytalks2k24 Yeah cannot seeing it happen until the ABs find some way to create something on the inside! I thought Ioane and AJ Lam were superb in the Super Rugby Final because of the Blues forwards did on the inside and Ioane and Lam played to that game plan - kept it tight!
@@thefobbie0034 I agree with you I think Reiko just need someone to connect with and that could be the future combination him and AJ Lam cause honestly I don’t think Reiko is clicking with Jordie in the midfield tbh.
We want good thinking game breaking runners like smith and Nonu always thinking always aware of everything that’s going on Tryna start something out of nothing all the time always alert for 80 minutes Some players just go with the flow sort thing if nothing is happening nothing is happening sort of buzz 😳👀
@@fu8713 I agree Uso at the moment we have players who are not thinking at all just clicking tbh Reiko needs to go back to his OG position he’s a good finisher and maybe time for fresh talent to inject themselves in that midfield position that we are lacking in right now. Overall I hundred per cent agree with you. 😊🖤
Caleb clark is ma.a nonu. Clone he has bulk power speed step and always breaks first tackle unlike reiko loane plus he has xfactor No one in new.zealand comes close to him he can make allblacks back line leathal with jordie barret combination he is wasted on wing.we can only win world cup with this change
@@edmond435 sole uso straight up I agree he is a powerhouse he’s got everything but one thing he’s missing is his kicking game but overall he could be a potential as well. 😊😊🖤
As i always believe and said that they should blend Caleb into that number 12 0r 13-, as you said he got that speed, power and step..he's MAa he is Maa Nonu's clone..
This coach is the only guy who believes Reiko is the best centre in NZ. Therefore, I rated him as one of the worst NZ coaches ever. They should've given the job to Jamie and Brown.
All of the All Black backs have been shut down on this scorching tour test feast! Certainly weaknesses have been exposed owing to the effective use of the "rush" defence strategy using the best tacklers in the business. Player most missed is Richy at 10 also time for Beauden to move to 12, Jordy should be playing no 7 at provincial level. Nothing stopping Clarke and Reiko swapping at different times to mix it up!
@@saliemoses5720 sole hard honestly I agree his record is Kaea as and I think he might get sack sometime if he doesn’t improve as a coach we are watching Robertson closely. 😂😂
He's a good coach, just not a good selector. People kept talking about Sititi or Sotutu, but I think both should have gone and left Jacobson or Blackadder out. I thought our best trio would be 6 Sititi 7 Lakai 8 Sotutu and Savea to provide the impact for the last 25 -30 minutes. Sititi is an 8 who plays 6, just like Kaino. Also, how he could select Havilli instead of Lam I don't know.
@ I wonder that too could’ve of gone with lam but you know Robertson loves his Crusaders boys and yes I love that combo I think sititi is a flexible player that can player anywhere. 🖤
Leicester Fainga’unku has been confirmed for the Crusaders for season 2026 👌🏻.
@@DavidSmith-yi8ou that’s great news💪🏽😊😊😊😊
Him and havilly are banking on razor ,crusader bias is the hallmark of robertson selections.

With over 50 years of great midfielders its a lull of kind.

Reiko best centre in NZ 🤔
Lam at center
Bro hardout agree with you😊🖤
Jordie Barrett, Higgins, Lam, Proctor, Fainga'anuku and Ioane will be there if needed.
@@rugbyanalyst1 That’s a solid midfield there bro I hope Ioane can up his game in the midfield he’s a solid player just needs execution.🖤
@@Rugbytalks2k24 He will be there, wing or centre... I'm not sure haha.
@@rugbyanalyst1 for sure brother your not wrong there.😊😊🖤
Jordie can't break a line and he cannot tackle. He can only finish
@@Rugbytalks2k24Rieko has speed nothing else.
Never mind talent. If they not big enough don't select them

On point with Clark . Wilson was a wing
transfer to centre.
Nonu was a wing transferred to centre
@@robertosalsone5655 exactly I hope that will happen to Clarke and gets a crack at centre.
