@cgrant
Will never happen. I completely understand your logic but the big risk is that team doesn't click and loses to Italy .@mofitzy_ said in All Blacks 2021:

@mackerzzzz I don't think all 4 of the blues props make it. Nor Laumape and Bridge. As for Hunt, he had the game of his life against the Crusaders but last night he was terrible. You've also forgotten McKenzie who's been doing quite well this season.

@yeetyaah yea Dmac comes in before Hunt and Ioane at 10
-
I think David havili has to start at 12,he offers something different,another playmaker to create things

O yeah I did to - DMac for Bridge then
-
I think Hunt needs a look in he's actually marshaled the highlanders very well this season, with the danger of Connor G-Bachop and Josh Ioane
I personally think he is the form flyhalf this season.
Other than his kicking from the T he wasn't that bad vs the Chiefs

If you were going to get rid of some props who would you bring in to replace?

@mackerzzzz Aidan Ross over Hodgman at this stage. I think it's close between Laulala and Ta'avao.

Ok cheifo
I kinda agree about Ross but over karl not Hogman.
And Laulala has been way better Ta'avaoI would get rid of Ofa not Nepo. Ofa needs to fix his discipline

@mackerzzzz I mean yeah they're both Chiefs players but tell me I'm wrong? They're both doing great and dominated the Blues scrum a couple of weeks ago.

I say no to beaudy and Tj becuase they will both be still in japan
mo'unga has had flashes of brilliance, I just dont think he leads a team like mitch can. Although mitch is helped by some very good halfbacks down there

I think this will be pretty darn close, if we go strongest. 1st XV for sure, Coles will be back up 2 maybe, not sure about Weber or Leceister

Yep he is available as far I have read.

will they give Frizzell more chances?
Guy is a beast at Super level, but struggles at International.
Lets not forget, surely Fozzies futures is riding on the next few test matches!
