Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

And Caleb Clark's a left footer as well.

And that plays a big part of being able to,

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

plays a big part of it being able to be on that side of the wing and it's such a big weapon being able to do that so it's not to say that those boys if they dropped and changed went on to the left into the right they wouldn't be able to be able to kick um with their preferred foot but it does make it a little bit more difficult being able to um to be on that side so and you know sometimes you're actually right hand dominant i think for morby he's right hand dominant being able to be on the right wing and using a left arm fin whereas it's very similar to caleb as well so

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

I think it's not to say that they can't change hand, but I think to your point, Jipper, when you are younger and your natural instinct is to put it in the right hand or right winger to fend, it just is a little bit different.

Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

That was it, mate.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

Finished.

Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

I was literally writing down notes and like Billy Proctor had so many, you know, atriasis, you know, the little offload, the bridge pass.

Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

And I don't know how many times we've talked about his decision making defensively and how good he is for that line speed pressure and being able to be very good for that Hurricanes defence when it's flowing very well.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

But yeah Ross that's actually a really good point around that Richard Kahui because defensively I know his winger and centre are a little bit different and we're altering, it's kind of a trend of the show that we are touching on with different positions but could he actually play on the wing?

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

Because defensively, I don't think it'd be a problem.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

Now, I know there are some really good guys at the moment with form-wise, but if you want to try for arguments, put him in the team with Jordy and Quinn.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

It's a very good call there with Kahui, being able to put him on the wing.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

So we haven't really answered the question, have we?

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

And I think if you do have all those boys on the field, you look at probably all the distribution ability that that group has.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

I think Quinn's been very, very good around his distribution skills, even his attacking kicks and the way that he does play.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

geordie's very good in around that will jordan's good around his skill set um and then even a billy proctor with what we saw against with the with the hurricanes his offload game his his bridge pass and his distribution skills so like if you want to play an all-out attack game especially against line speed pressure and having players that are able to use their skill set in the passing game like it might actually be able to unlock and get around those kind of defenses because all of them are very good and around the short game and the long game passing game also with the attacking kicks and being able to kick as well as a triple threat

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

Yeah it is and like I think to be honest with how this draw has happened like the Highlanders pretty much have derby games and they've got a bye coming up so they've pretty much got to be able to try go two from two I think or being able to get at least one of those derby games which I think they have struggled this year and around playing the New Zealand sides and you know the Reds end up playing the Force Moana and the Drua which is at home as well so

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

If you're talking around the schedule-wise, it is a little bit more lenient for the Reds.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Does Jordie Shift To 15? All Blacks’ Midfield Squeeze

So yeah, but in saying that, the Highlanders got a win against the Waratahs and opens up their possibility of still being able to finish sixth.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

So I know it was a big loss for them against the Chiefs, but I just think there's going to be opportunities for where they are able to be able to score points and accumulate those points with the draw that is coming up for them in the next three games.
