Give Beaudy a break . Its not easy when you have to cover your brothers position as well as your own position . Cover defence is one of BBs greatest strengths. He is one of if not THE worlds greatest fullback but can be one dimensional at standoff . It therefore makes perfect sense to use Mounga more often going forward given the understanding he has with fellow ABs in the backline Crotty and Goodhue.
I always dispair at the TV ad showing the dandelion being sprayed with herbicide. Dandelion is such a useful medicinal herb that is great for your health. Alll parts of the plant can be used. Eat the flowers and leaves and make tea out of the dried.root.
Ever think that it was more a case of the Aussies being rubbish on the weekend more than the ABs actually being that great. The Argies are a different proposition however and should not be taken lightly so wholesale changes could be foolhardy. That said why cant we play Beauden Barret at fullback, Mounga at 10 - the best of both worlds...
Hansen tried experimenting with a different backline and developing our depth but sometimes rotation can bite you on the butt. At least we now know what doesnt work..
Mate James Lowe is killing it in Europe . They were actually chanting his name so high praise indeed from the Leinster crowd, But he doesnt qualify to play for Ireland until 2020.
Read somewhere that Bristol is looking at Kaino to replace Steven Luatua who is on his way back to NZ at end of season - to try and regain his AB spot ahead of next years RWC.?
So we all know B Barret is great but when do we give the reserve 10s some game time in preperation for next years RWC in case of injuries. Canes supporters let us know.
Gareth Anscombe is making the Cardiff Blues look very good atm...not to mention former NZ centres Le Lo and Halaholo who has also been tipped for the Welsh national team. Anscombe 20 points on the weekend not too shabby tipped to replace Biggar for Wales
They were never that good SA rigged all their home games to give that impression before the advent of neutral refs. Former SA referees have admitted to as much....was a myth...
Sopoaga carded. Wasps were also missing alot of their guns like Launchbury , Nathan Hughes and Robson and Willy LeRoux played despite being concussed in his previous game. But Leinster are competition favourites /defending champs and i cant see them losing many if any games -Virtually the Irish team there.
Interesting that scientists have found that the chlororophyll molecules of green plants bear an intriguing similarity to hemoglobin, the prime constituent of blood.Both are composed of a ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms surrounding a single atom. The difference lies in the central atom which is magnesium in chlorophyll and iron in hemoglobin.The similarity of these two essential biological components suggests a common origin somewhere in the primordial soup where life began on earth. So arguably given the close relationship, logically speaking products that kill plants could also harm us.
A good Aussie team ? Mate yr dreamin. If it had Folau and Kerevi then it might have been the case....plus they were unfit. Four opportunist tries to Barret meant the scoreline flattered us.
Argentina are no longer the easy beats they once were , They have been practising all Super Rugby season for this with this Pumas team albeit incognito under the Jaguares moniker...They are dangerous with a capital F.So Hansen needs to up his game as the ABs werent that great on Saturday. Could be the perfect storm so i hope we dont take the opposition too lightly and use that B team again.
Thats why agricultural workers have the highest rates of leukemia.....herbicides. The author obviously works for Monsanto who incidently have changed their name,,,see devil has a new name...
Why Te Reo Ataahua?. Why Te Reo Rangatira ? As many have already said, maybe Kiwis should be learning Hindi or Mandarin given the influx of Asians . NZers would rather become absorbed by Asia than have their own identity
Former All Black Mils Muliaina: Start Ben Smith at fullback, George Bridge unlucky
Ben Smith at fullback is a no brainer. And dynamo McKenzie backup. Jordie is not even in the picture.

With the advent of neutral referees SAs rugby prowess has been exposed as a myth...bring back bent SA referees and make SA great again..
