Look at the All Blacks bench from Sunday, November 24th, 2013. Today’s best player in the world, Beauden Barrett, arrived to cause serious damage.
I still feel the bruises from that last attack to prove the Franks brothers made an impact and we’ll always remember Dane Coles’ offload to Ryan Crotty. Every man a sub, denying the greatest Irish victory that never was.
