Richard Knowler at Stuff suggests that this will be the All Blacks team.
What the fuck was ever the point of a media "Possible Team".
Either claim a "Predicted Team", or even "Preferred Team", put your name on it; or just fuck off.
"Possible team" - that's AI-speak. And inherently... ignore.You had to be sober today huh? I can see how that might get you ornery.

How does a fixture on a neutral field that doesn't meet the minimum requirements set down in the laws qualify as part of a Grand Slam?
I like this kinda getting ahead of the game. When we lose we just claim it's hardly even a game of rugby, let alone a test.
It was my excuse last time.

Proctor starting at centre ahead of Tupaea would surprise me. I'd have Billy on the bench.
Most of the rest looks close - might not be exact, but close.

No, my point was twofold:
- The field doesn't met the required dimensions.
- My expectation is playing them at their home while we're not playing at ours.

Inside the All Blacks "Champion Event" in Chicago:
Money talks: The other side of being an All Black
Analysis: The All Blacks don't do promos anymore, they do 'champion events' - especially this week in Chicago, writes Jamie Wall.

Eddie Jones' unsparing verdict on Andy Farrell's Ireland
Japan head coach Eddie Jones believes Ireland are on the downward slope of their recent golden era, suggesting they're “coming off their peak
I agree entirely with Eddie's verdict here... and think England will pose a much bigger threat to the Grand Slam.

Look, on paper
That is a desperately average all blacks side.
Fuck me, how did we sink to this 15? Look at that loose forward trio FFS.
It's just so very meh -

Geez I will have to reread all the posts, I haven't noticed anyone writing off the Irish. See a few thinking we will win, but hardly writing Irish off. And a some of that may or may not because the Irish team are basically in first test since 6Ns.
