Not a very big backline. But 4 7s in the 23..
3 guys over 100kg and we know Ratima is a gym powerhouse. They'll be ok.
Height lad, height. Ok midfield, Ioane good winger size but doesn't jump and rest of backline not tall. I expect France to kick to them, a lot.

And I haven't really seen this raw gym strength from Ratima at test level.

Amazing power to weight ratio but no, neither have I.
Considering he can lift more than quite a number of forwards he should be dominating more.

Really don't see the point of picking Bower when he wasn't even named in the original squad. Norris is the future, so why not give him another go. Happy with the other selections.
Giving every one a run that was named in the original squad and all the replacements that were officially added eg Bower and Papali’.

Who will lead the Haka?
Sexton's bestie.
Rieko Ioane, the best player to ever play for Leinster? You can forward that to Sexton

Given the way Jase was fluffing Norris on Stuff I wonder if he picked up a late injury?

Some positives for me:
Patty T being fit
Lomax being back
Ardie remaining at #7
McAlister making his debut
Reece back in the lineup
The Chiefs 9-10-12-13 combo -

I was saving that for @Canes4life
Although I was going to wait for @Bones to post that Jordan should be starting at fullback….
