@@MegaTkls ...and might i add, the rugby world is a bit hypocritical at times...rhetoric about wanting players to "be themselves" and "show their personality" seems to disappear when a Maori guy is a bit exuberant. Come off it. I file those celebrations under "genuinely competitive"
As an Aussie I like Ioane, he plays hard and isn't a grub. Good to see the Wallabies play with some heart, the game is on life support here in Australia and a good showing against NZ is exactly what Rugby needs.
More idiots.....Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane absolutely destroyed their Australian opposition so badly the Northern Hemisphere Referee and TMO(a pattern seems to be developing), had to rescue them from annihilation with some ridiculous calls. If Joe and the Wallabies are happy after that Test match, then they are in for a lot more hurt because they were absolute shite. The All Blacks had a winger AND their 2nd 5 off the field for 10 minutes for pete's sake.
@@Tirotirowhetu Hahaha. And what did Jordie and Rieko do against the Springboks in literally any of their games against them as centres? It’s a quick answer, absolutely nothing. The Aussies are genuinely terrible.
@@jameswyatt4443 The two recent losses to the Africans, in Africa, were tough pills to swallow but swallow them I did. They were 2 examples of how 2 hugely talented, well coached, International Rugby teams can play our beautiful game....they set the standard. Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane played a HUGE part in a tightly contested series and you are a one eyed fool embarrassing yourself if you believe otherwise..
@@jameswyatt4443Clearly you never watched the past two Springboks games, cause Reiko made good post contact metres and Jordie intercepted a pass for a 40 metre try.
Yeah...he can still score tries playing out wide on the wing (which is where he was). And he scored a try that was put on a platter for him. But he still can't distribute and put others into space which is a center's bread and butter. He can tackle and scramble on defense (like a winger) but he threw a stupid skip pass that was never on and most of his other passes had no pace or accuracy. At best, he's an average center. He's still a potent power winger, though he's not as fast as he was and people still seem to think he is. This week they must play Proctor in his back yard...and put Love at 15 if Barrett is still not well, moving Jordan back to the wing.
Wake up and smell the roses idiot and go to specsavers. He is a defensive beast and a nightmare for anyone on attack....the best 13 in the game with daylight second.
@@dadofchampions I'm a fan who remembers well the great AB centers like Robertson, Bunce, Umanga and Smith...and how good Reiko was when he started his ABs career on the wing in 2016-2018. At that time, he was clearly the hottest prospect in the game. The next few years however, exposed his Achilles' heel...his confidence. Reiko has struggled with confidence since he was a high schooler thrust into the New Zealand 7s under Gordon Teitjens -- though he managed to escape most of the vitriol dished out on their failed Rio Olympics campaign in 2016. Once he became a professional player and AB, lapses in confidence became a real problem for him resulting in him only playing a supporting role in the 2019 World Cup campaign. As soon as his form slumped and fans and media (especially social media) started to criticize parts of his game he began to fall into crises of confidence. This pattern persists until today. When Reiko's confidence goes you can see how it affects his game...and see it in his eyes. His head space isn't right, his focus goes and he doesn't seem to understand where he is on the field at times. He drifts in defense (making up for it with his speed and ability to scramble), is static and behind play on attack, and therefore unable to make good decisions and execute accurate passes because he is not in the flow of the game and playing instinctively. It's like he's watching the game unfold in front of him...unable to get in the flow of what's developing around him. While he was on the wing this problem could be resolved by making sure he held his width on defense and maintained enough space to avoid the touchline on attack. However, moving him to center has only made this problem worse for him...because he is there to not only manage his own game, but to act as a second pivot, managing the game for his outside backs and backfield...seeing and creating space for them and then executing the skills needed to put them into that space and send them away. When he is having trouble appreciating his own position and space on the field, how is he supposed to do that? I feel for Reiko...and so should Razor and Scott Hansen. I worry for his wellbeing…and so should Razor and Scott Hansen. And that is why they should be "managing" him by putting him back on the wing and letting someone like Proctor take on the outside pivot responsibilities at center. Does that sound more like proper coaching and management of a player's strengths, weakness and form for you dadofchampions?
@@dadofchampions You are clearly someone with a great understanding of coaching and player management...I'm taking notes. FYI: I have no aspirations to be AB coach...though I might be able to help them out a little with player management.
@@Buster62 Wow!! what a word salad that was! Nothing wrong with Reiko's confidence as wouldnt you think Leon Mac, (Blues) Foster/Schmidt and now Hansen/Holland would be 'managing' him with less game time, sending him back to Auckland NPC or even Ponsonby???? The boy see's time and space as a 13 and with his gas is the best 13 on the planet as he great on both sides of the ball. See Lukanyo Arn get skinned on the outside (again) twice yesterday? Never happens to Reiko, no team has ever scored in the outside channels v NZ with Reiko at 13. Only 13 that has the gas to cover both outside channels.
You go and tell them people have lost faith in you but I think they quickly have forgotten a great offense starts with great defense and you do just that. You do you and hoping to see you thrive in the number 13 jersey
He’s just not a 13. He never delivers against big teams playing at 13. Compare his numbers at wing vs centre against the Springboks, it becomes truly apparent.
@@Tirotirowhetu Not a chance. He disappears the moment he plays a good defence. That’s a fact. Kriel, Ringrose and Am are all way ahead of that pace merchant.
He is A GREAT All Black full stop. Hats off to the man, to adapt to playing at Centre. We are lucky to have a MAN like him. My opinions of his bro are somewhat different :-(
@@gregbooth1551 Here are some stats. He played 4 games on the wing to against the Boks before switching to 13 where he’s played 6. Per game stats: Centre v Wing 0 tries 1.25 40 metres 116 7 carries 10 0.3 clean br 3.5 3 def beat 6.3 2.8 passes 3 0.5 offloads 0.5 4.3 tackles 6.3
He still cant pass or offer kicking options , no doubt he is a lethal finisher but its time to put him back on the wing or the bench, hes had enough time in 13 and it hasnt worked
I think you’re right about the absence of other skills. He’s an excellent defender but would be great to see him develop a good kicking game (Ma’a developed his skillset so no reason rieko can’t). Billy proctor has a more rounded skill set so would be good to see him included more in the lineups for northern tour.
It’s crazy how this guy is 23 caps away from winning his 100th cap for the All Blacks I thought the All Black jersey had more value than that Seriously - what happened to “great men make great all blacks”
Always start Reiko @centre. When the subs come on shift him to the wing. At present. It would be cool to arrive at the following back line (with this squad), at the end of a game. I would like to see how it goes... :Ratima(Roigard); Beaudie; Clarke; Jordie; Proctor; Reiko; Jordon. If others were in this squad well ... that is another story. Why? Beaudie is shifty and twitchy makes good decisions (rushing D) ... the rest require no explanation. I am getting really tired of pointless kicks.
Poor win vs poor team . I am not optimist for the all blacks ! Razor is out of his depth and not the man for the job ! The same problems continue : ill discipline, last minutes , poor bench … Petition to replace Razor . Vern cotter in !
That was average. Damien has had enough chances. It all starts and finishes at first five. He is weak at defense, too. This couch coach is hunti g for a new first five. Excuse me, beaudy, are you feeling better? Are you ready to take cruise control
very average player at best much better players than him in NZ don't know why the dressing room would be buzzing after another crap performance. Players should be dropped and not patting each other on the back

AND I'd like to add.....there'll be a lot more thrashings dealt out without any expectation of "humble pie eating", just satisfaction. GO YOU MIGHTY ALL BLACKS..
The amount of ground that this guy covers defensively with his speed is phenomenal
100%
Rieko cops alot of unnecessary flack. Great spirit, genuinely competitive, and always fronts the press with eloquence and humility.
humility?? have you seen his try celebrations?? lol
@@MegaTkls You are either jealous or Racist because obviously no-one ever, has ever celebrated scoring a try in a test match.

Yes, he scored on the left wing position after a good pass. Something he fails to do for his wingers.
