DvdM is a massive defensive liability so not hugely susorirsed Scotland have left him out. Absolute highlight reels player.
34 tries in 50 tests is quite a few highlights though.
a way to go to beat Jordan's 43 in 51. actually, not even possible..

Well yes, if he plays Argentina or Tonga and gets 10 against them.

The All Blacks are going to be wearing white jerseys.
I hate how rugby has changed our traditions because soccer.
Away team always wore their traditional colours and home team swapped.
Am still hot on this, but heard TJ say it had something to do with Armistice Day as well, with ABBAWs (All Blacks but also whites) wearing a red poppy on their sleeve.

We must have seen different Scotlands play then...

This Scotland team is among the strongest they've had and more than capable of turning us over and would love to get the monkey off their back - but the monkey may weigh too heavily on them.
But there's been so much inconsistent play in the last few years, you have a nagging doubt which AB side will turn up on the day - the Chicago last 20 minute team or the Wellington team?
Either way, should be an entertaining game as both sides like a flowing game.
-
Loving this team to be honest. Swap out Barrett for Dmac and Love on the bench then we're cooking.
Granted Barrett brings a lot of experience but he's so inconsistent. He's prone to brain farts. He needs to ride off into the sunset.
Also. How much better does the team look without Ioane in it?

Alternative viewpoint. (I'm a JB fan, just pointing out this midfield played better than any previous recent pairing).
-
@No-Quarter If Huw Jones were playing I'll definitely want Rieko there.

What sort of blind feckers can't tell the difference between blue and black anyway?
We didn't used to have thse alternate strips in the days of black and white TV so I don't see why they're required now.
I'd much rather they banned white boots if they're playing with a white ball.
-
Is interesting seeing the praise for Barret from various places in media (re his play and control)

Scotland and All Blacks have always traditionally played in a white change strip when hosting the other to distinguish between the Black and Navy Blue.
Remember the water polo test in 74?
At least it's not grey.

@booboo I can vaguely recall the test, but I couldn't tell you what jerseys we played in.
I assumed it was the same as France - they used to wear Blue - we wore Black - but, apparently that's either no longer or rarely acceptable.
That photo you posted emphasizes the absolute stupidity - there would be far less clash if we'd just worn black.

France pretty much change from sky blue to Navy to make us change jerseys. Dicks.
-
Or if Scotland had remained with their traditional jersey. The Scots do some weird ahit with their jerseys.

I would describe it as baffling rather than interesting.
