@victor-meldrew Apart from Reuban Love, none of the younger First Fives in Super Rugby look nearly good enough to play Test footy. That's fine, all three of Beauden Barrett, Richie Mo'unga and Damian Mckenzie should be around for the next World Cup

I agree none including Love will be ABs before WC, but I would argue that Zarn Sulliavn will go close, I know Blues are running him at 15 at moment, but he's got the look of a 10 about him.

Lots of Brylcreem?

I was going to say 'and is unstoppable from there' but then remembered who we are talking about.

Frizell at 8?

At least put him at 6 and Blackadder at 8! Bloody Ta$man-ians.

Just shows what skill @ACT-Crusader may actually bring when his subs attempts are so poor.

Shannon's played No. 8 for us.

He should at least give me a like for advancing things with T. Barrett.

But, I'll probably just get cut by Kruse!

Considering he's struggled to replicate his Super form at test level 'd be worried going into a test match with an NPC level number 8.

Apart from Josh Ioane (I'd go for Otere Black), that AB (10 caps or less team) looks bloody potent.

And I'd be tempted to start Hunt (and leave Joane out altogether)
