Steven Luatua's outstanding performance with an impressive run-on debut as the All Blacks marked the start of Ewen Mckenzie's coaching regime with the Wallabies by inflicting a 47-29 thrashing.
Luatua used his athleticism to get about and stayed close to the ball. He was able to make hard carries, win lineout ball and defend with his customary accuracy. It was a performance that confirmed the potential he's shown all season and one that will have made the injured Messam a little wary.
So Luatua is ABs future no.6? As he is only 22, he has the potential and with more game time he will develop his overall game. Also with guys like Richie and Kirean Read, I'll reckon he'll be in good hands with those guys guiding him.
