Much better.

Nice work Valetini

I'm not disagreeing, mate. Missed the transgression. Didn't see who dropped it.

Adam, already being difficult. I don't understand the apparent transgression.

Sorry?

I know it's the protocol, but hell it's the haka. Let them slit properly.

It comes with intent. Did you see Slippers face? They stopped at the camera.

Crowd looks like a home ground for the All Blacks.

Sure Valetine is a jumping option, not your first choice but an option. Which he also would be with two recognised jumpers in the locks and McReight as another back up jumping option.

This bit seems clear. If we don't muscle up it is very much an uphill battle. A decent kicking game might ease that pressure a touch and a line out that works would ensure unexpected dis-possession is reduced, but certainly it starts at the ruck.

For the life of me, I don't see it. Not that Petaia isn't a very incomplete product.

I'm surprised that Wright has lasted as long as he has. Definitely not at 15 and I feel there are better options at 14. Starting with Kellaway and Petaia.

I'm just really searching deeply in my soul to try and agree with that first statement. And failing. On the later, I hope so.
