Wales v All Blacks

@hikastags said in 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.
So both these dude's in front of Dyer? Cool. Not sure I can add any value to that.
But when we're down to numbers 4, 5, and 6 in any position it's getting somewhat subjective.
Appreciate your response. But what have you seen in Renata and Mafileo that justifirs them as All Balcks? (Genuine if somewhat smart arse question.)

A missed opportunity if you dont include Tangitau (which I dont expect them to). A perfect chance to debut him.
yes - it's a pretty dick move by Razor to not give him a debut considering he missed the final All Black XV game against Uruguay to train with them, I mean we've really got nothing left to lose - the England test was all that mattered and Wales are essentially a tier 2 nation at this point...

Kirifi, ALB, Reece, Christie. It's like a fucking nightmare.
The only bright aspect is no Savea wasting a position on the field and Damien has to make a turd sandwich palatable.
8/9/10/12 are Chiefs. Will be interesting to see how it goes

Ardie Savea and Beauden Barrett aren’t playing. Now we get to see how things go without them.
Except we don't, because everything else has changed too.
Page out of Fozzie's playbook. Empty the bench and learn zero

In the context of the tour and 2025 season, players we needed to develop/cut, it's pretty bad.

It says something of our newly-found ability at times to simply give up, that I'm pleased Christie is on the 23.....

Like Foster, he now has his back against the wall every bloody game.
And yet he's had 2 seasons to avoid being in this position

He had a shit ton of goodwill when he came in, whereas Foster took over on the back foot from the go. Just wasted all that capital

I saw quite a lot I liked of Tupaea and Proctor on Saturday.
This week would have been a chance to see how they went with a match together under their belt.
Just why?
This is the all blacks, these pro athletes don't need participation medals. But Razor is making sure everyone gets one
-
Not sure about the omissions of both Cracknell (MOTM against Japan) and Ben Thomas
Huge opportunities for Deaves and Hawkins
Wales by 15-20
That's Wales done by 15-20, 10 mins after kick off
-
Cracknell has a hamstring injury.
Wainwright also a slight doubt apparently -
