Beaugan left today's training early & went back to the team hotel for some kind of injury assessment.

"Why do you hate Hoskins Sotutu?"
"I don't Sir, I just never noticed him before. And Ardie is the senior player with Sam Ca
"Then why do we keep losing with those two?
"I don't know, Sir"
"Say your name"
"My name is Reek, Sir"
"Louder!"
"My name is Reek, Sir!"
"Say it with bells on".
"My name is Reek, Sir, ding dong, ding dong, Reek, Sir"
"Now go get me some more bloody coffee and make sure it's hot this time".
"Yes Sir, right away Sir".

Think Hoskins may get a look at bench next week if result goes okay this week kiwi, would of been pretty surprised if there had been unforced changes for the first test.

Good call. Yeah happy to see the performance at JoBurg rewarded.
Perofeta is a cool story - playing for Whanganui in Heartland Rugby as a schoolboy to the All Blacks.

And also of course Perofeta also nowadays a Naki man!! I didn't realise he had played Whanganui as a schoolboy, no doubt why he crossed border to the Naki.

Appallingly, struggling to muster even the minimum of shits in regards to this All Blacks Rugby Football Test Match.

Apparently took a knock in the neck region in a tackling drill & felt some stiffness so being rested as a precaution & there's no HIA issues.

Had a chuckle last night when Cheika was saying how good kiwis were, he asked how many teams get to visit a country where there is a mural of the teams assistant coach on a building near the ground! David Kidwell ex NZ leaguie and defance coach for Pumas is a Christchurch boy!
They are a better team with Mo'unga @ 10

Not sure that is, but RMo had a good game last week, I would of been pissed at a 10 who didn't play well with how our forwards went though.

Agreed. I also think Beauden is better suited to coming off the bench too.
Or @15 where his counter attack/linking skills & speed in space is quite scary

The wowest thing he's done in Black for some time was swatting that 50:22 back in-goal, retrieving it & carving the chasers whilst positioned at 15. As a 10 he's been nowhere near where he was for Loss Bleus.

Beaugan Barrett's talent lies in the fact that he sometimes gets the ball to do things that are otherwise preposterous e.g. clearing kick from the back bounces just inside touch, into his hands, and he scores at the other end. He's got pace and hands and good feet, but I liken him to Adam Gilchrist in some ways - hear me out on this.
Gilly was talented as fuck in terms of hitting things with a cricket bat. His short-form record speaks for itself. In Test cricket, however, there is a feeling that he only scored big after people up the order scored big.
Whether that is accurate or not, I feel like BBarrett is the same: when he's got the freedom to express himself, he's a complete fkn freak. And that is usually off the back of an AB team that feels like it'll just score more points than you and force you into mistakes.

^ nah, bogey under the nail of his pinky finger never lost contact with the metre-long pulled thread on the jersey of the bloke in front of him...
