This feels like a reckoning. You know how badly Rassie wants this. Surfboard Jesus needs to put his dick on the table.

Who is going to take the high balls that come at us?
Is the answer 'a saffer'? Possibly!
I think Narawa provides a good foil for that or at least provides more cover if Will is going to attack the high ball.
I also expect to see a bit more of Beaudie dropping back.
For me it’s not so much as attacking the high ball with a bit more confidence, it’s more about what we are doing with the phase ball. Hope to see a return to Argentina I as opposed to the last test.

New move in the breakdance repertoire.

Not a bad plan to bring a fresh Holland on in the second half.

I was surprised at first but after giving it more thought it’s probably to add some grunt to that bench with patty unavailable

I think it’s a combination of Patty being unavailable and Holland’s game time to date. With Vaa’i, who is an 80 minute player we have options to see how the game is going and how we manage substitutions.

If the backs play poorly again it's time for a serious look in the mirror.
We can't just meander through 2025 if things aren't working. -
@ACT-Crusader strongest available scrummaging locks starting.

Fitzy backs All Blacks to beat 'tired' Boks
Sean Fitzpatrick believes the All Blacks will be “desperate” to beat the Springboks at Eden Park on Saturday.

@W32 not with Faf looking fit as a fiddle.
Power and grace with a little verve thrown in.
Close, but not enough hair product.

Did he say if he’d pick any Boks in a combined 15 ?
-
So is that Cortez and is Wayne Smith replacing him?

@pakman Must be geo-blocked as it isn't behind a paywall.
Cheers @Bovidae . I imagine that will be within two of actual team.
Please no ALB or Christie. both are well past it.

He didn’t. But I will go as far as saying, I wouldn’t select one Springbok, Puma or Wallaby in a combined RC XV.
Puma captain and former Crusader might make the bench….
