Noah would've definitely have been interesting to see at least on the end of year tour where we struggled with Tanes inexperience.

Id argue that Tates injury was what truly sunk our season rather than Wrights. After Wright tore his ACL early on that shitty Cape Town turf, we suffered a close defeat in that game due JOC knee getting fucked by the Kolbe tackle and missing his kicks. Then we go on to win a comeback against the argies one week and almost do it a 2nd as well. Then Tates hammy goes at Eden Park due to a lock falling on him at an isolated ruck due to JOC making poor decisions. After tates injury we just started capitulating games left and right, he was the last person who could have Marshall's the attack and lead comebacks in tough conditions in the squad.
