    Reiko Ioane is the worst All Black Winger i have seen in the last 2 weeks!!!

    It's completely obvious he spends too much time playing video games. Also it's blatantly obvious that his brother not making the team has messed with his head, and he is planning to move to France.

    The Blues broke him. They are the anti-development.

    @mariner4life Even Beaudy watch catching Blues-itis towards the end of that match, slow and clumsy

    He's been about the same as most All Blacks this year, and was fine against Canada.

    Reiko was fine against Canada? Go watch the first half again. He was mud

    too professional. Too prepared. Will get bashed for being a nerd.

    Does this really need it's own thread where you just copy the whole article?

    Is it uncommon for a new thread to be lead off by an online story?!

    What I find more strange is that no-one else thinks it's odd Mo'unga didn't try a single kick-pass last week. Unless I missed them?

    I think that is actually a good thing. That tactic has been done to death and rarely works.

    And yet it's been working for lots of other sides all the Cup. France, most recently, against a fairly sturdy US defence. And for Hadleigh Parkes against the Aussies just before that.

    You'd be a mug to resist using an effective weapon because it's used a lot (precisely because it is an effective weapon).

    If you were looking for things "done to death", then mauls off line-outs would be number one. And the ABs better use those too, if opportunity arises. Even though they are as boring as f**k.

    One really good spell from Rieko is all we need. Anyone remember a Mr Savea who was shite in 2015 and then fell further but had an outstanding spell at the right time.

    @Crucial We remember.

    It is pretty clear in retrospect that Savea didn't regain form, but just had a really good day. He went back to being meh straight after. We were fooled at the time, of course, but there's no need to stay fooled.

    Any player that is good enough to make the ABs might roll out a blinder* on a good day. Sevu Reece, if things go for him, could easily put in a performance like that.

    It's not that Reiko can't have a game-winning day in a play-off match. Just that the odds against it are quite high.

    [* well, maybe not Caleb Ralph.]
