Sivivatu

[Iafeta]

Don't know if you blokes caught last night's game, but fair dinkum, it was like Sivivatu (with help from Lauaki and Gibbes) playing the Crusaders, and nearly winning.

He was freakin awesome, he was so involved in the game, and he seemed to be ready to make a break at anytime.

How good is New Zealand's wing depth with him, Howlett, Rockocoko and Gear?

We've known its been good for a while now. The first two haven't been great this season though. Gear a lot quiter than usual too. But put them in the ABs wing and they should go fine.

The depth in wingers is awesome...Sivivatu is on fire and you could count Howlett, Rocokoko, Gear and Hamilton in there as well...

To be fair on Howlett and the Rock, it'd be pretty hard for any winger to look all that good on the end of the Blues backline right now. Sivi is getting better service, and making the most of it.

sivi will push 'handbag' howlett out of a black jersey.

the chiefs backline helps him out, they are all a bunch of scavengers and they are hard to mark up because they are usually out of position on the roam.

another one to watch is Anesi who i reckon is a more complete player than sivi.

Sivi is awesome, but not picking Joe is crazy. You have to have both (although it won't happen, I fear). Unfortunately Sivi will prolly get left-wing and some spaz like Rico or Doug will get the right wing.

I do not rate Rico Gear at all, good super 14 wingers with the crusaders and a bloke who can finish off a nice backline move or capitalise on an overlap, but give him the ball one on one with a defender say 15 metres out and he'll score say 1 out of 20 times. You put the two fijian flyers in the same situation and they score 9 out of 10 times.

I'd get Rusell Crowe make a bid for him to get him over to Rugby League.

The guy is a freak!! awesome.
