    My Predicted 23:

    1. de Groot
    2. Taylor
    3. Newell
    4. Vaa'i
    5. Holland
    6. Jacobson
    7. Savea
    8. Lio-Willie
    9. Roigard
    10. Barrett
    11. Clarke
    12. J Barrett
    13. Proctor
    14. Ioane
    15. Jordan
    16. Taukei'aho
    17. Norris
    18. Tosi
    19. Tuipulotu
    20. Finau
    21. Ratima
    22. Tupaea
    23. McKenzie

    Close, I reckon Tuipulotu comes in for Barrett as a straight swap, Vaa'i stays at six, Kirifi on the bench and Jacobson misses out completely ( yep I reckon they will want to see more of DK especially at home )

    I will find it very frustrating if there's anything but last week's group with injury changes.

    3rd test, have at it.

    Rieko back to center. Ardie back to No 8. Vaa'i back to lock.

    Actually, I'd be happy to see Vaai go back to lock if Ah Kuoi goes to blindside, but it wouldn't make much sense when you can just throw PT in at lock.

    No. Chopping and changing won't do him any good. Let's keep him at six. He's finally become a force at test level and there aren't exactly other options beating down the door at blindside.

    No, I like to call it the "broken clock" analogy.

    i feel like im being gaslit...there seems to be a continuous discussion about things like 12 and 13 are wildly different positions and very few people can learn both....but also lets move people around from one game to another to make sure theyre versatile

    You almost had me until this.

    Any idea what position he's a force at?

    They are a bit different. Some players have the physical attributes, skills and temperament to play both and some don't. I don't think there are many players who are equally good at both. Generally a player will be better at 12 or better at 13.

    I don't think that's a rugby position.

    Yeah, if they want Vaii to have time at 6, bring in Patty T.

    If it was accommodating Barrett - which is a bit of an issue - then bring in Finau to start, Pat T off the bench.

    Similarly, not sure we learn much with Dmac at 15, so if he’s to be the bench man, leave him there and bring in Clarke or Narawa.

    That’s a bit of a myth right there. Razor pretty much flagged from early on that he had options to play a lock at 6. Vaa’i was the obvious choice in my view.

    Now that Barrett is injured, which happened during the game and not carried in, we need to bring in the next best lock into the 23 plus someone as cover (which may be one of the lumps that was used in training).

    I know this stuff is all in the eye of the beholder, but I actually didn’t mind Finau off the bench last weekend. Did a few good things I thought. I’d keep him in that role unless Vaa’i is all of sudden ruled out.
