Suspect Ioane will come onto the pine in place of Tupaea if there's any concern around Clarke's fitness.
Didn't Tupaea come on as a wing on the weekend and handle himself well? I don't see the need for the change.
I think the setup was Jordie moving to fullback with Jordan and Carter on the wing
QT and Proctor midfield.

It makes for good discussion every week, to be honest. Thanks, btw.
It would be nice if everyone here kept that point in mind, and that the sauce and discussion stays here, so that we can do it every week.
I'll start the speculation. Have they decided to give Love a chance? That for me seems the key - whether he is just on the bench or whether they start him at 10 or 15.

From what I’ve heard so far, it will bring a lot of conversation and talking points. Should make for an interesting thread to read this week.
Awesome. Looking forward to it.

I think it's probably better to ease him in off the bench.
You can't hurry love.

No time like the present mate, get him out there. We already know what Beaudy and DMac can do.

Had to ask if I was having my leg pulled… hope I’m not so apologies in advance if it isn’t correct. Usual contact so have no reason to believe it isn’t correct. Maybe I’m just a little surprised due to a certain name on the wing(which should bring some interesting opinions).

I assume Clarke is out hurt? Tupaea played well when he came on, Proctor has failed to grab his opportunities as yet. Reiko on the bench is solid (good cover in MF, but no gas at wing).
Leicester gets his chance as soon as Razor could get him in, time to silence the Fern's sceptics (or not)

If that’s the lineup then it’s fair.
Proctor has played enough games now and has just been kinda ‘there’. Nothing about his game screams potential world class centre. QT is an angry runner at least.
Leroy has been given a crack and due to the current winger shortage I can see how LF gets his chance. I’ve always liked a bit of thunder and lightning between 11 and 14.
Rieko perfect bench material until Leinster have reinvigorated his career. The ABs are in need of his character. Need more like him.
Blueben can rock up and let his nuts hang. Let him learn his trade.

Definitely interesting. Don’t think many would have picked that backline to start the year.

Not too outrageous for me - the obvious DMac inclusion, QT in for Proctor who has had enough chances - and Rieko is clearly a better option on the bench - so the only real surprise is LF. Which certainly feels like an odd selection, but TBH I didn't watch enbough super rugby to have a view on who should be wearing 11 ahead of him (unless they went Rieko 11 and Proctor on the bench)
just makes me feel stupid I thought Fainga'nuku was a midfielder these days well obviously Razor has other ideas. Together we walk
