I know this has been mentioned before but some of these players need some basic birds and bees lessons.

You all know when the scheduled break in the pro year is. Time your rooting accordingly. Certainly not 9 months before a tournament.

I'm sure their partners do.

standing up to an employer or the government is easier than your wife

...feeling pretty good about the fact that my wife loves the AB's and she is constantly thinking im only 9 months from a call up

[Kirwan]

So tens would be BB, DM as cover, and I'd go for TJ as break in case of emergency.

Let DH focus on 12, same as Akira at 6, and let them both develop as specialists.

[Kiwiwomble]

@kirwan agreed...so we can expect AI to start at 10 with TJ at 6?

Try re-reading my post, more slowly this time.

With Richie out, if something happened to BB (and omitting the backups on tour) I've been trying to think who would be the 10 back home they could take and I can't think of one..

@kirwan i agree with you, i was joking about fozzie making surprising selections

There are 3 capped ABs 10s on the tour, more than enough

Jordie is ahead of TJ as a 10 surely.

[Bovidae]

We aren't playing Namibia.

BB at 10, JB at 15. DMac to cover both off the bench. SB to stay on the field this time.

[broughie]

@bovidae I know TJ has his detractors for obvious reasons but he might actually be better starting a game. He will never be Aaron Smith but if he keeps it in the forwards he should be fine.

It is probably Mitch Hunt.

Bridge and Reece to start so they can be blamed for the loss this time round.

[broughie]

@chris-b Another wee man. I think I would look a Ioane first.

[ARHS]

I expected to see Harry Plummer added to the squad. Maybe good for Ofa T to be training over there if level 4 continues in Auckland.

dead set, if the Wallabies can't beat that team tehn they may as well pack it in for good.

Best hooker? not there
Best lock? Not there
Best player and also best 9? Not there
Best 10? Not there

3 of those are our most influential players.

Is Retallick not travelling? I thought only Whitelock was remaining behind?

C,mon man, a man can't go without 9 months before a 3 month rugby series (which basically it is) , the ting I am disappointed in they didn't make sure their wives were bright enough to take contraception through the required period!!!!:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Not playing much 10 in recent times. Mitch is at least in form.

Brett Cameron has he left NZ yet? Thanks Foxy.
