New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

So what we were saying about players watching and supporting both sports in NZ was true?

Becoming more and more common for All Blacks to do sessions with other sports to help develop their game with a different perspective in a professional environment, a few have done sessions with AFL clubs also as well as NFL clubs etc.

Mounga would make a handy convert as a half, at 30 probably left his run too late though.
Thrived at Super Rugby level but never really shone at internationals sadly

He'd make Johnson look like a defensive dynamo in comparison. DMac would have been a handy convert back in the day, can pretty much do everything Mo does in attack but with the addition of courageous defence.

Actually pity he didn't go to league back then, as you say he was a Super, um, superstar but average in the test arena.
