Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

Seems strange to go back to the top team - they should switch out two/three players to see what they can do - I’d give Akira and Jordan starts with Ardie and Roane off the bench.

Agreed. I understand the methodology applied for Sydney - they wanted to win the Bledisloe so their best possible team took the field. The problem with introducing guys/ resting others is there were too many changes for Brisbane and some of the experienced heads didn't have their best outings.
The remainder of the TN should have minimal changes but allow debutantes to get quality time on the field.

I think cane deserves a rest and have savea,Ioane and sotutu starting in the back row

Agree with that - put in a helluva shift. Backrow of Akira, Savea, Sotutu.
Weber to get 20 minutes if any of you are serious about replacing TJP.

Yeah, cane was injured not that long ago, four big shifts, time for a break
-
Moody, Coles, Laulala, Tuipoluto, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane, Savea, Smith, Mo’unga, Clarke, Goodhue, Lienart-Brown, Ioane, B. Barrett
Smith to play 80 minutes.

Can't argue with that. I am guessing Fozzie still thinks Jordie is his first choice wing but he is due for a rest anyway.

@DMX is laulala available or is he still in Nz waiting for birth of his child? If in Nz then lomax be starting and bower on the bench as he can play tight or loose head prop

We also haven't had an update on Jordan. But if he failed his HIA he won't be available for selection in this game.

Given his history they should be extra cautious. He shouldn't play again until Super Rugby

I don't think he'll be back - but the return to play protocols can be satisfied in a week I thought? I have memories of folk going off for HIA, but then being back the week after.
That said, I'm with @Duluth, think he should take the time out and come back at Super next year

@nzzp yeah I think they can fail an HIA in game but pass the rest during the week and be selected to play, similarly there have been ones passed in-game but failed the subsequent follow ups (delayed obviously)

i cant imagine how hard it is being a professional rugby player in nz at the moment, your a wing with AB's aspirations so you ask your coach to keep referring to you as a fullback just so fozzie will notice you

@Machpants definitely at this stadium as its brand new

@Kiwiwomble @Machpants fucking nice arena too - been to a couple of Tahs games there and the views are great as well as the architecture.
EDIT: only thing it probably lacks is closer rail transport - they've got buses running right past. It is only 1.3km from the nearest train tho.

That's a deliberate ploy to keep lazy fat fuckers away so they can fit more seats in

Also true!
The best thing Parramatta could have done was run a ring service light rail up that street to the stadium, then turn down into North Parramatta and back over the river.
