@pakman said in Wales v All Blacks:
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 -

That is the whitest team I’ve seen in I don’t know how long. Poach some bloody islanders why don’t you ! No wonder you’re minnows these days.

Missed opportunity to run Savea off the bench as 7/12 cover.
He plays 12 anyway doesn't he?

@gt12 said in Wales v All Blacks:
Lots of stuff to really like there - Love gets a go with the two wings he should have been starting tests alongside, and.. um, and, um.... um.
For some reason i read that in Razors voice.

@MN5 We've had a few but England keep poaching them
-
@pooler-fan We're light years ahead of you. Just accept it.

Should’ve picked Darry for the bench and if only Hotham were fit for that 21 jersey.

Wainright looks a class act. Hope he can play
-
Happy for Ioane starting and also looks as if he will lead the haka too. Great occasion for him and his parents.
Given their relative experience in the ABs, it’s a little surprising that ALB and Ioane have only started 4 tests as a 12/13 combo
- Italy 2024 (W)
- Oz 2024 (W)
- France 2023 RWC (L)
- Ireland 2021 (L)
They have started 10 other tests together with ALB at centre and Ioane at left wing and 1 more with ALB at 2nd 5 and Ioane on the wing.

No Preston? He didn't look out of place in his cameos earlier in the year

@game_film yes anything can happen in a two horse race. And that’s why we love sport because the seemingly impossible can become possible.
Just in terms of the cohesion, the starting front row have played a bit together in recent times and train a fair bit as a unit. Locks okay. Loosies a bit unknown really. The Chiefs 8/9/10/12 might bring something.
I expect us to use the lineout advantage more this week if the pressure amps up.
