I’m hearing that ALB is going to be unavailable for this test due to a delayed concussion.

Someone smacked him after that performance????

[zedsdeadbaby]

Believe it was the yellow card incident

[Toddy]

Looked like he had it before he came on.

Makes sense then him being concussed during that performance.

The injury God continues to smile on Razor in helping him select better players. (my sample size being one - Sititi)

[stodders]

@Frank Barrett’s injury meant he Holland got a start for the French series and Sititi’s injury meant he went with Va’ai at 6 .

[Chuck72]

@stodders Barrett and Holland both started the first test

[sparky]

Assuming Patrick T is injured, I'd pick something like:

1. De Groot
2. Taylor
3. Newell
4. F. Holland
5. S. Barrett
6. T. Vaii
7. A. Savea
8. W. Sititi
9. C.Ratima
10. DMac
11. L. Carter
12. J. Barrett
13. B. Proctor
14. S. Reece
15. W. Jordan

16. Sami T
17. T. Williams
18. P.Tosi
19. S. Parker
20. P.Lakai
21. K.Preston
22. R. Love
23. R. Ioane

[KiwiMurph]

@sparky Lord on the bench over one of Parker/Lakai

[pakman]

@sparky

That forward selection should be close.

For me:

EDG/Taylor/Newell/Holland & Barrett/Lakai/Vaa’i/RD

Bench T’Mighty/Sami T/Tosi/Parker/Sititi.

Bugger off with your facts. They have no place on this board.

[pakman]

It would be bloody ballsy, but I’d like to see Preston get a start.

[sparky]

@pakman I like being ballsy and I like Kyle Preston, but I think starting him from the bench (the role he's mostly had for the Crusaders) gives him a stronger chance of a successful debut.

But he should definitely be in the 23 next Saturday.

I heard it was a headbutt, but not sure if Razor was involved

Not too much disagreement from me.

I'd start Tamaiti, you can drag him when he is gassed as he's had a few weeks off. I know Groot would be more suited to start but that's what I would do.

Jim on the bench.

Maybe Narawa at 14.

Think it was @KiwiMurph who suggested Lord to the bench. I'm sitting on the fence with the three of them and refusing to make a call.

[pakman]

@sparky I want experience in my 9 and 10 if the game is tight with 20 to go.

Straight swap Sititi for Lakai please

[pakman]

@voodoo in the end the call will probably come down to how Wally’s recuperation has come along. I’m assuming he will get 30 first time back. Same view on Williams.

[stodders]

@Chuck72 oops. Go about your business. Nothing to see here

[Dan54]

I kind of be a little surprised if Sititi starts, coming back from injury, and hasn't quite looked real world beater during Super this year (although he was good). Think they may just bring him in slowly. But of course in me suggesting that they may do exact opposite. :face_with_tongue:
