Fantastic attacking skills from Fainga'anuku and RTS - unfortunately, their defence was shocking at times, which is probably more important at test level.

[@ozmanoshe]

You're right and no probably about it. The lack of tight defenses in super rugby means it's hard to identify those players who can still score with limited opportunities.

[@86sfar]

Who would you guys have as your strongest Allblacks starting XV for the World Cup?.

[@ozmanoshe]

@Stuart Plaster I think the biggest issue is I struggle to think of the number of absolute certainties. In the pack it's just Taukeiaho and Savea. All the others are a question mark. Nz thin on experienced locks so Retallick and Whitelock go in but age and form mean they're no longer dominant in those positions at international level. The backs are even worse with virtually every position having question marks around it. Aaron's too old. Mounga doesn't do it at test level, Barretts distribution sucks, all the second fives are incomplete players. Ioane distribution sucks and defense dodgy. All the back 3 are defensively weak with the exception of maybe Reese. You can hide the deficiencies of those backs with a strong forward pack, but NZ is probably only the 5th or 6th best pack in the world right now, if that.

Refs misinterpret the rule. Knee touching the ground is not the same as knee supporting the weight. Given the current understanding, the ref should have called tackle, if he saw it but given the wording of the law he entitled to make his call (if he even saw the knee).
