Ridiculously early ABs calls

[dk4]

so how does this looks after the games against Wales?

My questions:
-Do we have now a replacement for Woodcock?
-Is there a 2nd hooker to compete with Coles?
-Cane or Ardie Savea?
-Where is the next Kaino?
-Any positives from 12-13?
-Why use Dagg and not try MacKenzie instead?

Our WC team had outstanding players from 1-15. Are we finding replacements or stand ins?

Woodcock was well past his best by the RWC. Moody is certainly at that level.
Not to compete with Coles yet but there aren't many hookers with that level of dynamism.
Start Cane and bring in Ardie seems to be working. Ardie will probably take a year to surpass Cane's judgement.
One Kaino at a time is plenty.
Tumanivanu looks like another one with potential but no clear cut successor.
That's really the wrong way to look at it. Smith should be starting and they should have used the obvious replacement for NMS in James Lowe. If you are going to move Smith then Dagg's Maddie boot and better presence in the air is a perfectly logical choice against Wales.
