All Blacks v France II

"Mentored by Wayne Barnes" - oh, great!?!

Strange world where you can have a Georgian, a Canadian and a Saffa play for France. And someone born in Paris as the neutral referee.
At least his French will be good rather than some of the comedy attempts to speak the language we've had from referees over the years.....

Don't you just speak louder with an accent?

Louder and slower. Makes you damn near fluent in whatever country you are in

Why drop Barrett? Thought he went pretty bloody well - DMac on the other hand was rocks and diamonds.
I’d stick with the same team barring injuries (Lomax for Newell & Clarke for Reece). Proctor was poor, but one game is not a big enough sample size.
I'd like Beauden to draw tacklers more
Lol which one was it where BB basically caught and passed with no one around him and Marshall started sucking him off for his "draw and pass"?

I wouldn't make a single change. We won, we did a lot very well.
Another week together and see what happens.

Including picking a concussed Sevu Reece?

Love to start, DMac back to the bench to hopefully do his thing in the last 20/30.
Would've been interesting how much worse the kicking would have been with a back three that kick worse than half the loosies in the country.
I think Razors plan for DMAC is just that, because he will be expecting to bring Mounga back into the side next year, so DMAC can cover 10/15 from the bench

Yes, if his missus had to deal with a concussion so can he

Well thought out, but

I'd go with pretty much the same team as the first test with a few players moving around because of injuries, I don't think we'll see too many changes until we have the series wrapped up. My team would be the following:
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Newell
- Holland
- Va'ai
- Finau
- Savea (C)
- Lio-Willie
- Roigard
- Barrett
- Ioane
- Barrett
- Proctor
- Jordan
- McKenzie
- Taukei'aho
- Norris
- Tosi
- Tuipolotu
- Kirifi
- Ratima
- Love
- Tupaea
