@pakman not sure about Lomax.
Williams, Taylor, Newell starting.
It’s almost as though you were on a crusade.
….Barrett, Darry, Lio-Willie
More than happy to have
CantabBlues lock in there…. -

Sounds like it's actually half an hour later than this.

No Fabian Holland is an absolute joke.
Unless he’s injured. -

Unavailable for selection: Tyrel Lomax (thumb), Caleb Clarke (ankle), Beauden Barrett (shoulder), Ethan de Groot (concussion), Ollie Norris (back), Emoni Narawa (rib fracture), Timoci Tavatavanawai (fractured radius).
It will be interesting to see how the lineout goes without Holland. Parker may have to be used more.

dont think savea and lakai both starting is a good idea
I would take it a lot further than that

Good to see Tosi back in the 23.
Shame Clarke is injured because I would’ve liked to see Clarke at 11 and Fainga’anuku at 13. A bit more ball carrying bulk in the backs.

So if Parker goes down injured early there will be three leprechauns in the loose trio ?
neat.
Unlikely in that scenario. Vaa’i to 6 and Patty into lock.

Lakai is such a out of left field selection given he's barely played at all. Its not like he is in form or got tons of minutes under his belt. I don't even think he looked that impressive on Saturday.

Ah yeah, was so outraged I didn't even think of that.
Still. A seriously crapola selection overall.

Surprised Robertson didn’t stick Sititi at blindside too.
-
Rieko is back, on the bench?

@sparky said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe II:
Worst All Blacks Selectors Ever! Some of their selections just tend to be so random. A flawless lineout on Saturday and then they drop Holland. It just doesn't make sense.

I don’t mind Lakai being selected because I think he will play better than what we’ve seen from Sititi this year.
But it comes back to the fact that Ardie, Lakai and Sititi should be fighting out for two position - starting 7 and bench 7/8 cover.
LJ not considered. He’s not injured, but I wonder whether he’s at the match fitness levels yet?
