                                The original thread title. Although it has changed now. (You may see it in the first reply I posted.) Used your post to point out the distinction between One and Two to @Machpants (being my pedantic corrector self). That sort of typo is all too familiar...

                                    2020 will be the first time I've been in NZ and not seen the AB's live at least once in a year since 1974. When we didn't play a home test.

                                    Prior to that its 68.

                                                      Five-dimensional chess isn't as easy as I make it look.

                                                                      I didn't get to pick the team this week, so it's not my fault that they didn't put specialists in specialist positions. I'm not adverse to keeping Frizell, but we need a real 8 starting, and Ardie off the bench. I like Sotutu and Ioane together and Cane is basically the old version of Paps, so we are recreating a trio that works well together.

                                                                      I think that Laumape won't happen, but it should - he's a specialist and was playing at a very high level before injury . I'm very anti Goodhue at 12 - everything that makes him really effective is based on his reads on defense one space out, and his ability to move through traffic out there. As bench cover, he isnOK if we can get ALB to move into 12. He's been crap this year at 12, so if we kept Goodhue to start, it has to be at 13. Personally, I think ALB offers something different but I could see them swapped and use ALB off the bench.

                                                                      If we need speed out at 13, then Laumape is a specialist 12, and R Ioane could go there with ALB on the bench. He covers 12 and 13 better IMO.

                                                                      My worst selection (in that they aren't a specialist) is probably Ioane at 14, but I still think that at this stage of his career, we might be better with him on the wing. Our wingers offer us very little and we need more metres and go forward - in traffic - from our wings. I think Clarke and Ioane meet our high ball and metre needs.

                                                                      One argument I could entertain would be having an ALB/Goodhue midfield with Clarke and Ioane, which should help the set piece and provide a creator and finisher on either side when we can go left (Barrett, ALB, Clarke) or right (Barrett, Goodhue, Ioane).

                                                                      1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 3
