    Appreciate the footage is older and the game has changed but I feel its still so vital to have midfielders that can do it all i.e. Mauger/Tana and a back 3 who are hungry i.e. Howlett, Mils and Joe were so active. Shaun Stevenson is literally the only winger that reminds me of Joe. Still need to get the ABs backline sorted, right now its 'too safe'.

    best winger at 11 and then the allblacks management change him to right wing to give sivivatu game time. If Joe was retained at his most lethal number 11 then he would have been on a record try scoring spree. then a poor blues team hardly could get the ball to the wingers and Joe said enough
