Mark Watson

Man, he could kick a drop goal.

Maybe not in 1995 when we really needed one, but, you know, he had the total game.

He could get your team around the field with his kicking.

He could run the ball.

when you weren't expecting it with his pace and he could kick a drop goal damian mckenzie couldn't do that at the weekend when they needed to win the game he was in front of the post and he got charged down by warner dunes and then they scored a lucky try from it and won the game so still looking for that test match moment from damian mckenzie as well as reuben love i think this is absolutely wide open with the return of richie moanga probably still being in pole position boat and barrett didn't do himself any favors at the weekend did he

He had a shocker, especially at the end of the game.

So I think right now, still, I don't know who the All Blacks 10 is.

That might be a little bit of sort of fantasy land.

Just shows you how important loose forwards are, though, eh?

Because, like, in that game, Chiefs-Hurricanes, it was tight, but it didn't feel like it was.

Both teams were having a go, but the loose forwards are just so good from both those teams.

In fact, I wouldn't select any All Blacks loose forwards from outside of those two teams.

He's got to be in there against France straight away in the first five or six loose forwards.

Definitely a tour of South Africa, but not straight away.

He's knocking on the door, but him versus Luke Jacobson, for example.

Jacobson's a test player.

For me, that's the blueprint for All Blacks rugby.

Having strong, combative, loose forwards who dominate a game.

And that's what we haven't really had.

We've been chopping and changing.
