Wales v All Blacks
-
Not sure i've seen anything from Dyer that justifies him being an All Black.
Who is your alternative?
I would've had Marcel Renata ahead of Mafileo. Renata can also play both sides which is why Mafileo was picked.
I know he's 31 so on the older side, but props age like wine these days.

Proctor has had his chances.. it hasn't worked out. Ioane is the best we have to play 13 currently- plenty of 12's but cupboard is bare of international standard 13's.
Proctor is another case that baffles me a bit. Razor gave him a decent crack and he didn't quite make the grade. The coaches seemed to agree because he sat out a bunch of games only to be reintroduced for the hardest game of the entire tour. And the most defensively capable centre isn't even in the 23. That just seems like madness to me
I wouldn’t mind seeing Proctor get a chance outside a 10 that isn’t Beauden. I’m not defending Proctor because he certainly hasn’t looked comfortable at 13 at this level but I do think the tactics that we are employing when Beauden’s running the cutter are all over the shop, and it’s hurting the youngsters in the team that are trying to find their feet.
The test that Tupaea looked really good in was the one with Damian at the helm, not surprising really.
Beauden in my view has really hamstrung our backline on attack. I also don’t see any point playing ALB or Ioane because they are on their way out IMO. I’d rather see Lester get another run at 13 before them.
BB makes everyone around him look lesser. Proctor has yet to convince at test level, but playing outside a decent 10 would help.
jesus, the first read of that i thought you were saying BB made other look lesser because he was so good

If Barrett starts, I wonder whether he is thinking of hanging up the boots. It would be strange to see him in this game, but with Mo'unga coming back I can't see Beauden making the WC. He could still demand a pretty good salary in Japan.
He could be the first big name (rugby player) for R360.

This made me realise no one seems to have made a gif of all the chicks turning their light red on Take Me Out.

I’m hoping Love and Jordan gel together nicely at the back. That’s our strongest back three IMO. Hope it fires.

I hope they play well enough to force the coaches to take a second look (I wish they'd played that back three months ago)

Well at least Sevu Reece isn’t… damnit!

Yep, especially considering our woeful high ball exploits this year.

Ticking a box and getting everyone a game. At least Will Jordan is in his best position. Would rather see Tangitau wearing 14 though

Giving Wales a collective orgasm.

I’m glad razor managed to get his 6 Crusaders on the bench. So inspiring
