Mark WatsonPANELIST
They obviously see Lakai as a seven.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
I think Cegna and Blackadder are purely either six or seven, so I think we're starting to see a little bit of a shift away from that.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
initial rationale that really provided regarding the loose and they're just numbers on the back.
Mark WatsonPANELIST
And, you know, I think that was probably just a means of justifying some of the selections when they were experimenting a little bit earlier in the year.
Martin DevlinHOST
Now, if we go into a situation again where, like in Sydney, where we drop our second five the day before or the day we drop another player during the match and this guy comes in in a quarterfinal and plays 12 or 13 for us, is that the answer in a World Cup quarterfinal? I don't know.
Martin DevlinHOST
But I want to ask about the loose forwards because I reckon that this is one area where I think we are light.
Martin DevlinHOST
Cegna, Leicester, Blackadder, Leo Willey, Lakai, Satiti.
Martin DevlinHOST
Pick three of those loose forwards, John, and then put them up against South Africa and tell me how well they're going to go.
LashesPANELIST
You look at behind, well, Tupou Vai will play six, and you've got Lakai and Satiti.
LashesPANELIST
And behind that, you've got Cegna, Leo, Willy, Blackadder and Whanganuku.
LashesPANELIST
Not really established loose forwards at international level, are they? Wouldn't want one of them to go down against the Scots, to be honest.
Kyle MillsHOST
I love O'Flower.
Kyle MillsHOST
I don't know, Lash.
Kyle MillsHOST
I reckon they potentially could have gone maybe Tava Tavanawai.
Guy HeveldtHOST
Ethan Blackadder as well
Kyle MillsHOST
he got his
Nigel YaldenHOST
I like his game, and I think he's going to be really good, and I think, you know, when you think of the likes of him and Darry and Lord and Holland you know well set in terms of locking stocks plus these guys coming through underneath as well so I think they're really good but I just did feel a little bit for Sam Darry who was a guy who was first cab off the rack in July and I don't think he's done anything to slide down and I haven't seen him to do anything differently to jump above him but I I'm not the all-black selectors, obviously.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Loose forwards, Cegna, Ethan Blackadder back after stepping out a little bit for injury, Peter Lakai and Wallace Satiti.
Nigel YaldenHOST
They're also taking Christian Leo Willey and Lester Fanger-Anuku.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Now...
Nigel YaldenHOST
He was very good for a second year in a row for Otago.
Nigel YaldenHOST
That's what I thought may have got him there.
Nigel YaldenHOST
The nod, I thought, wasn't sure what was happening with Ethan Blackadder.
Nigel YaldenHOST
I thought that might have been his way in.
Charlie FaumuinaPANELIST
It's a bit of a punch in the face, I think.
ChimesPANELIST
Because there's only one true seven he named, which was Ethan Blackadder.
ChimesPANELIST
The rest are 6-8 hybrids.
Lachlan WaughHOST
Even then, Blackadder's played probably most of his rugby at six in his life, to be fair.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Geez, they've got some ballers.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Syphiloi, Blackadder, Gardner, Tracy, Leo, Willie, McLeod, Mathis and Johnny Lee.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Yikes.
Israel DaggHOST
Yeah, good squad, particularly in the loose forward trio.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Geez, they've got some ballers.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Cypherloy, Blackadder, Gardner, Tracy, Leo, Willie, McLeod, Mathis and Johnny Lee.
Scotty StevensonHOST
Yikes.
Israel DaggHOST
Yeah, good squad, particularly in the loose forward trio.
Martin DevlinHOST
While we're on the loose forwards, we might as well talk about the Cegna, Leicester.
Martin DevlinHOST
Ethan Blackadder is now ahead of Karifi, obviously, playing seven.
Martin DevlinHOST
And he played seven at Baltimore.
Martin DevlinHOST
Played bloody well.
Ofa HelotuHOST
He's back.
Ofa HelotuHOST
Name, Jordy Barrett, Leonard Brown, Putsitapaya, Blackadder.
Ofa HelotuHOST
I like Blackadder.
Ofa HelotuHOST
Cigna, he's Cigna.
Ofa HelotuHOST
I need to watch more games.
LashesPANELIST
I'm hugely saying, like, you look at behind, well, Tupou Vai will play six, and you've got Lakai and Satiti.
LashesPANELIST
And behind that, you've got Cegna, Leo, Willy, Blackadder, and Whanganuku.
LashesPANELIST
