the headlines from this game it sort of seems to be tacked onto the back of Marcus Smith’s missed pots at goal would you swap it next week and say right Henry Slade he’s done a great job for exitor in that department you take the goal kicking Marcus just concentrate on running the show for us I think for Marcus obviously it was the where they were slap bang Red Zone kicks and for some reason they weren’t coming off his foot it’s a very hard thing to to do having being captain of Gloucester with Nikki Robinson who’s possibly the angriest 10 in the world and having Rob cooker fullback who is a great kicker and Nikki missing two and then there’s Captain you go Nikki maybe Robie Rob should kick and getting an answer with a lot of expletives would I change it to have slady next week I ultimately don’t think it lost as the game on the weekend this time does it relieve the pressure off a 10 I don’t think it generally does I think they it’s a thing that they want if they’re a kicking 10 I think they they want that pressure on their shoulders I would trust Marcus Smith to step up next week and not miss any of those kicks that he missed on the weekend

No, its a non issue in my view.
Fin Smith should start, Marcus off the bench. That suits both players. Marcus starting and Fin of the bench doesn’t fee balanced or suit either player
Many a kicker has been undone under our roof in Dunedin. Even Wilkinson missed 5 and 4 in a row against Argentina 2011 WC
