Negatives?
Our spine are dumb and why we struggle. 9, 10, 15. No control at all, no feel for tempo. Flat out, always. Playing for them must be exhausting.
Proctor was average at 13, but he'll he saved by the fact his most likely replacement was worst on ground. Ioane is cooked, get rid.
What the fuck do you fo either Ardie Savea? With ball in hand few are better. But in a test team? He's do selfish. He will actively avoid attacking rucks, so he can get the next run. At 7 he made no dent in the French breakdown.
I think it's a worry that the main problems I see are guys you know will get selected every week
Ioane does look cooked. Doesn’t pass or look to setup those around him. Was just running straight at defenders.
He is at that age unfortunately. How come other countries wingers last longer than ours ?
I think it’s usually our so called power wingers who might start to drop away athletically and to go with that , there might be younger guys demanding pick me
We had two of the best in Ben Smith and Corey Jane. Emoni Narawa looks like that type of balanced player.
