Wise words of Robbie

[Spook]

"Ben had an outstanding game, being active in the set-piece, but also around the ground," he said. "He made some great decisions for a bloke who was playing his first game in a long time, let alone in a Test match. His decisions in the carry were exceptional. I might get him to have a word to a few of the backs."

Yes, but LHP is only the problem if Dunning or Baxter is playing there. Robinson, Alexander, perhaps Kepu, and Holmes (not picked) are or can be quality at 1.

Great little obiter dictum nugget there. Very reassuring that Deans has picked up on the headless chooks backline antics.

We made so many half breaks, but lacked any composure, threw dumb popped passes and just showed no patience.

We thought we could score from anywhere.

The next part of the conference:

It was a deliberate swipe by Deans at some of his most experienced players who squandered possession by trying to force passes. Sitting directly to his left, one of the main culprits squirmed in embarrassment. "I think I'll take that on board," captain Stirling Mortlock said.
