Murray Mexted has slammed fellow former All Black Jeff Wilson for urging the New Zealand selectors to consider benching star No 8 Ardie Savea.
Wilson claimed that Chiefs bruiser Luke Jacobson should be the starting ahead of SaveaHowever, the 34-Test Mexted, who was rated an impressive all-rounder from the back from the scrum, reckons Wilson should stick to commenting on positions he actually played.The Platform“It’s interesting isn’t it, Jeff was an outstanding rugby player and has now become a fantastic colour commentator and I guess it’s provocative.
“He’s talking about a position that he’s not an expert in, he’s never played in. He was a great finisher and try scorer, and actually quite a creative finisher as well. But I don’t think he knows the art of loose forwards. “If you ask him what the role of the six and the seven and the eight were – and it’s not just Jeff, it’s any commentator that played in the outside backs – they don’t necessarily know about the role of those various loose forward positions.Meanwhile, former Australia centre Morgan Turinui, now also a TV commentator, weighed in on the debate on social media.
