If I change one sentence to "less able OR older player" will you turn off the pedant meter?

re: Selection, i would like to see the top team roll out again and just brutalise Italy so everyone goes in to Summer feeling pretty good.
A disjointed muddle that results in an easy scoreboard but ugly win full of tackle bag holders would not satisfy me.

I half agree. A few young guns mixed in with most of the main team would suit me. I don't want to see a repeat of Fozzie in Dunedin again, that does not one any good

I half agree. A few noobs mixed in with most of the main team would suit me. I don't want to see a repeat of Fozzie in Dunedin again, that does not one any good
are their any realistic noobs to put in? the NZ A guys that came over don't strike me as realistic prospects except Holland.
Pretty much the only newbie i would like to see (who is there) is a new 12, as i am sadly resigned to the fact that ALB might be cooked (or reached that point in his career where he starts or doesn't play).
Maybe an outside back i guess. Love to 15 so Jordan can play wing, or a new wing who has actual wheels.Other than that it's wasting caps on guys who are miles down the ladder.

@mariner4life my issue with the 'top team' is there is a glaring issue in the 23 jersey. In fact the only player in that spot who has added value this season was Love when he came on vs Japan and scored 2 tries.
I know they need certain cover but there's a real opportunity to look at adding more punch from the bench in the form of Love, Lam etc.

They could’ve at least timed it for 11:59pm NZT on THURSDAY 21 Nov

I hope Love plays and touches down. So I can tell my Italian friends "hey, that's Amore!"

Lam. We're very thin at 12.

I did edit my post, clearly too late for you. Could have saved you the trouble of posting...

Back to their preferred loose forward trio. Reece doesn't deserve to start.
Or be in the 23 for that matter.
I'd play Clarke, Love, and Jordan. But I don't expect Razor to do that either. Just a lack of imagination
He'll likely play Reece again.
yup. I rewatched the intercept try. Reece was disgracefully slow, something is wrong with him, or he's out of gas
Clearly fatigued - the only thing that makes sense is to go back to a specialist winger - maybe even two of them - on the bench.

Someone like Lam can cover wing and MF, as could Proctor I reckon. If Richard Kahui could win a RWC medal doing it, surely almost all of the MF players with a little gas could fill in at wing. Could have moved Rieko out there and brought another MF on. Rassie would bloody do it

Barrett at 6?

I see it as a chance to run three locks. Word is that Vaa'i might get run at 6. If Cane back then RD or Wally for 8.
