That lineup looks useful.
Yep although the midfield certainly makes me hope no All Black centres get injured anytime soon....or ever.

The Front row looks no where near test standard.
I hope no more front rowers bite the dust. -

I know every time Ennor gets a mention you jump on it and call him shit, but he was deservedly man of the match in their last game.
In terms of how much I'd be worried if any of those 23 guys had to fill in for the ABs, he'd be in my 'least worried' category, with Dalton, Fakatava, Beehre. -

I'm just amazed Ennor has had a relatively injury-free run! He def deserves this level based on previous form.
Yeah the front row, I don't know, but the backline looks ok to me actually. Would be more dangerous of course with Tangitau. -

Ennor was very good against England A. I don't understand the hate just because of a missed tackle five years ago. I rate him on par with Billy Proctor.
Initially highly-rated, some embarrassing moments in the ABs and long periods of injury. I've been a critic but we don't seem to have nailed down a certain 13, so Ennor, if fit long enough, has to be in the selection pool somewhere.

It was three years ago and was a huge miss to be fair…..
….and look I’m probably being unduly harsh, if he is going ok he probably deserves a chance given Proctor has been massively underwhelming.
There @reprobate I said it

He had a shocker of a test when he got a start against Italy in 2021. Looked alright in his last test before the 2023 RWC but as usual, got injured just as he started to gather momentum.
I don't think he'll get another test. Surprised he's still in NZ playing. The Crusaders do well keeping fringe ABs in NZ.

Yeah, plus not sure Proctor has had enough chances to prove his worth

It's not like the ABs are suffocated by riches at 13. But yeah, momentum has not been Ennor's friend. When he made mistakes in the ABs he made big mistakes but do we have many options?

45-21 was final score to all black xv over Uruguay

Sod the thought experiment about whether a tree that falls in the middle of the night and whether anyone can be certain it made a sound.
If the All Blacks XV play a match and there is bugger all about it on social media or the internet apart from a Uruguayan feed on X that doesn't mention the name of the NZ scorers, can we be certain that NZR could organise a piss up in a brewery?

I've found a review of the game in French.
