So who still has DMac starting for the ABs? Massive worry for the ABs when Beauden’s been average as well. Maybe time to starting blooding guys like Love and Reihana.

Okay I'd go with:
Props: Williams, De Groot, Bower, Lomax, Newell, Tosi
Hookers: Taylor, Taukei'aho, McAlister
Locks: S Barrett (c), Vai'i, Tuipolutu, Holland
Back Row: Blackadder, Finau, Jacobson, Savea, Papalii, Lakai, Sititi
Half Backs: Ratima, Roigard, Hotham
First Five: Beauden Barrett, DMac, Reihana
Midfield: Jordie Barrett, Quinn Tupaea, Reiko Ioane, Billy Proctor, Tavatavanawai
Back Three: Reece, Jordan, Love, Carter

I would love to see them roll the dic for the French - Dmac and BB are both known quantities so lets have a look at one of the young fellas

Reihana might push Love out.
Though I don't want to see it. -

Will be hard to leave Reihana out after that. Will be intriguing to see if they make any last minute changes. I don’t think Carter makes it after tonight, wasn’t great under the high ball and was left in no man’s land on a number of occasions. I think Narawa gets in ahead of him.
Would love to see this backline at some point: 9. Roigard 10. Love 11. Clarke 12. Tupaea 13. Proctor 14. Reece 15. Jordan.
-
@Frank Maybe. I think they will have Ruben Love as he can cover First Five, Wing and Full Back. It's probably a straight choice between Clarke, Narawa and Carter though. Reiko Ioane and Jordie Barrett might see some time back on the wing.
-
@sparky I think that hotham isn’t quite ready for test footy yet - I honestly think that Christie has come back and played his best footy of his career this year and could/should make his way back

Now that's brave

@KiwiMurph It ain't pretty, but he can do a job there.
Quinn Tupaea Vs Jordie Barrett for the 12 jersey is a very tight call. Both very good players.

Razor prolly still loves DH...

I'd like to see QT but Jordies boot and utility might give him an edge

Probably a lock for the squad ugh

DH has had a really good season, but the midfield is absolutely stacked. If you include him then who do you leave out?
