Throughout the game I was concerned at some of the antics of Corey Jane,Next week I would like to see Fekitoa given go on the right wing.

agree Laurie. Jane just seems to have slipped back in without really having to perform. In the two tests he's not done a lot, and was one of many good Canes backs prior to the series.

I think Hansen will try a thing or two next week because that's in his nature. Barrett deserves a shot at start. His consistency all year demands recognition. Nonu could do with a rest perhaps with Fekitoa going in there, or at 13. He and Nonu doesnt cover all the bases but or sheer power in the midfield? Why not. Time we bashed a few over I reckon. Give Conrad a break.

when will NZ get the run away win you predicted?

Thing now is ebop...next week we go for number 17 to tie the record. 3rd time in 4 years the ABs have been knocking on the door of that one...

And its now 56 from 61 with 1 draw since losing the series to South Africa in 09. (91.8%). Not bad for a team that's passed it.
