Damian McKenzie excited about 'cool challenge' of Beauden Barrett

14 comments ยท 182 votes

This particular matchup will be decided by the forwards and McKenzie has the advantage in that respect. Whichever pack is dominating, their 10 will look better. It is (part of) the reason why Mounga (and almost every Crusader 10) looks so good at Super Rugby level. Their forward pack is BY FAR the best in the competition.Mounga is actually good though but I dont think hed LOOK as good behind the Canes pack.

Whichever forward pack has ascendency will dictate which 1st five gets front foot ball. Lets hope we are not in for another lame effort from the Canes 8

even reitred he probably is.the greatest 10 to play the game in a generation.

Barrett will school McKenzie tonight. McKenzie to crack under pressure

Barrett should have schooled the average Marty last week but couldnt even do that. Nothings guaranteed mate.

Barrett is a threat ? McKenzie is a flash Harry who cracks under pressure .

Dmacs defensive stats are the best in the business...82%.His attack metres aecond to none.Off the tee...tops.. Possesses a prodigious puntSpeed and step to burn. When hes pkaying its non stop rugby. 3rd french test he got subbed the game fell flat. With just a few starts hes already ensconced. His down side...risky distribution..This will improve.He like Barrat can be isolated, a function of their blistering speed off the mark. Tough as teak injury wise Dmac may well become one of our greats. His one asvantage over Barrat is he is much harder to 'ify with rush defence

D Mc is ok but his defense will cost us the cupB Bs boot aint that hot at the mo and from set play is average Bring on the Saders Richie Mo...better package all round

Daniel Carter still the best 10 in the world.
