He made the tough call at six, got rid of the invisible giant for the busy short guy
Parker had some good performances in the rugby championship and certainly didn’t look out of place, particularly against the Wallabies. Judging him off what was a bit of a shit show in general against Ireland, after a win and a loss against the best team in the world seems silly.
One more game for Parker only has a net positive. Can’t see any long term positive outcomes from Sititi playing a game at 6, a position he will never realistically play

Thats some small loosies
Won’t be an issue against Scotland. I actually like those selections for this test.

Underestimating the Scots?? Midgets in the loosies??? Nah we will be fine...

Don’t forget Fortress Murrayfield. What a record the ABs have there.

The Scots are confident:

@MN5 I love myself a packed Murryfield...quiet and that smurk wiped off Finn Russel's face.

He does have 50 caps for Scotland so there’s that.

For me ‘flower of Scotland’ is unmatched, such an awesome pre match experience when the crowd goes hard.

I went to the pub in Auckland a couple of weeks back and didn’t shout a round so I don’t think anyone can question my heritage

Scotland always win the anthems. It’s just the games themselves that can be an issue sometimes

Hahaha wtf. All four of the loose forwards are fucking midgets. Razor is a spastic.

Test match footy is a big man's game.

That team confirmed?
Seriously underwhelmed by the loosies and reserve midfielder.
And not particularly whelmed by 10. But we're used to that.
Oh well. Good luck lads.

You would prefer ALB?
I’d prefer Rieko

Not a great fan of those loosies because they are quite small, but Jacobson doesn’t fix that issue.
Parker was poor last week, and Finau seems to be in the camp with a few others (a tackle bag holder). Despite what some might argue, Papalii still isn’t a good carrier in tight, and given injuries we just don’t have the options.
Feel like Razor is a bit damned if he does or damned if he doesn’t this week.
