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
So we keep hearing. Don’t be so sure…

And what makes you not so sure?

It's a shame that Ruben Love is not getting a chance. Hopefully he will in Hamilton.
Wouldn’t have minded Love at 15 this week and Jordan on the wing. I feel Love’s only chance of getting a run is if DMac or Beaudy get injured unfortunately. Hopefully he gets a start next week.

I think one of them will get rotated out for the third test to open up the opportunity for Love to come into the 23.

Don't read the latest Hamish Bidwell rugbypass article calling the All Blacks lazy and complacent and Joris Segonds a journeyman. Maybe he's actually quite a good player in a very well-coached team.

@ACT-Crusader course they will, we all know Jordie is right wing cover.

Fuck no. He stank when Foster played him there. 12 or 15 FFS.

I think this will be another tough test for the All Blacks, especially so if the ref starts dishing out cards.

Unless they tighten up their defence significantly, it really shouldn't be close. We made a heap of line breaks and just couldn't finish due to small errors and a lack of patience - if we fix either of those and nothing changes from them it should be comfortable.

Agree.
It wasn't our points scoring, it was shipping 30 odd points to them that worried me.

So slightly different to the leaked team. EDG starts and Jacobson not involved.
Nah, backline was bang on the money to what I was told and shared. Wasn’t the possible forward rotation they said to look for though.

Perfect oil for the backs @Landers92
I'm pleased they've resisted too many changes in the forwards.
