    Cheers @Bovidae . I imagine that will be within two of actual team.

    Please no ALB or Christie. both are well past it.

    I think Christie is a necessity given where we are at with halfbacks, but they can easily select Quinn for the bench back spot.

          A halfback named Preston from Wellington on the bench vs Boks gives me confidence.

                Which presupposes the coaches are smart enough to consider that. And that just creates another problem to be managed.

                  Lowering expectations to rock bottom.
                  Smart psychological ploy.

                    9 & 11 give me concerns.

                    Rieko will need to improve 1000% under the high balls.... As they will be coming his way.

                    Bench looking good.

                      Dalton P' or Lakai on the bench would look stronger IMO. Apart from that, hefty bench, hope they provide impact (effectively).

                        Wouldn't that be 2 injuries away? Vaai can shift to 6 and Holland can come on at lock

                        Which presupposes the coaches are smart enough to consider that. And that just creates another problem to be managed.

                        It's fairly likely they play the last 20-30 minutes with Savea, Kirifi and Vaa'i fatigued from the first three quarters of the game and then being asked to cover more ground.

                          Christie played well last game.
                          We need to keep things simple. Plenty of pick n goes. No dinks, no shovelling the ball along backline.

                                      The back five for the Bok pack in last 20 will be interesting. Looks like Eben, Van Straden and PSDT to play 80.

                                          Can we trust Rassie? Is this really going to be their matchday 23 or will he pull a last minute selection suprise? If RG Snyman is not injured then his non selection is perplexing. He's one of the best impact tight forwards in the world.
