I feel like Taylor is giving Dura a new lease on life.  The last two seasons I thought he was on his way out and quickly.  Now with Taylor there, he looks fantastic.  I also loved the front footedness of Doyle,  another player who seems to be benefiting from strong players around him.  

I think 3 at the back suits him at this stage of his career. Doesn't have to cover as much ground. He certainly looked capable in a back 3 for the All Whites under Hudson. 

I think there were also other issues which hampered our defence in the past 2 seasons - one being that next weekend could be the first time in 2 years that the same defensive group will play 3 consecutive games together, and that's not including pre season which this unit has had even more time together.
