C’mon, @ home & not expecting an AB backlash?

Yr NZ ratings seem ok, altho you underrate Crotty & Jane. The former dun pretty good today, with not only his ‘D’, but offloading & e.g. switching the ball pronto from r to l hand when making a break & (unlike the slow witted Israel) thus also effecting a fend. Jane is a ‘footballer’. Why else do the selectors pick him, keeping Dagg out & pushing Ben Smith to fb? Besides he’s been out for a yr with injury. Also not so sure that Crockett is quite as bad as you state.

Regds Oz; again ok, altho McCabe is hard to rate with so little ball & maybe Charles better than you say? Other reps are more positive. Same for Simmons bit harsh.
