Yep.
I think our strength is still ball handling and speed.

As athletes get older they sometimes get smarter
Creation is not as lauded as touching down but you can't have one without the other

Buuuuut... not fast. Otherwise Jordie and Proctor should be listed as fast, right?

The fuck? In the context of the original post, he's not fast. He'd be nigh on the slowest in the list. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Correct. Slowest on that last AND fast enough
Both things can be true at the same time

You're absolutely right mate, 5 thoroughbreds and 3 carthorses
Let's hope they don't get done for pace

@MiketheSnow too late.

I'd like to see some evidence in this test that this version of the ABs knows how to maul. After Ryan and co joined the ABs during Fozzie's reign mauling started to look like it was becoming a weapon, but this year we have yet to see much of it.

Gotta win the line out first...

@Lancaster-Park said in All Blacks vs Argentina I - 10 August:
Christies defensive game is why he get picked for the big games. Defence wins trophys.
I was surprised though at just how much slower his passing was compared to both Ratima and Hotham which I think was a very significant reason why the 'finishers' had such a late game impact. The backs had more time and your pods can run onto the ball because you know its coming rather than waiting and then starting your run. (are getting it passed to where you are standing not in front of you).
Against a rush defense, Christie's slow delivery hampers considerably the backs attacking possibilities. Defense may win trophies yes, but Ratima isn't bad in defensive situations, and his kicking is top notch too. I am not sold on Hotham's defense though.

Good point and didn't Ratima set a Chiefs bench press record for the backs this year? I'll take his Tawera Kerr-Barlow esque strength and physicality off the bench over Christie's occasional heroism on defense thanks...

@cgrant
If Aaron Smith couldn’t out pass a rush defense there really is no way any halfback can do that on his own. -
Probably the most important positions in this team are 12, 13. If we can get that right things are looking solid

The correct cliche here is - "The most important position tighthead prop and the second most important position is tighthead prop."
