After last night who is everyone picking as our best XV to take on S.A?
This is the team I think Fozzie will select from what we’ve seen so far. I haven’t picked Leinert-Brown due to not being match fit and also uncertain of the status of his injury.
- Moody
- Taukei’aho
- Laulaula
- Rettalick
- Barrett
- Ioane
- Papali’i
- Savea (c)
- Perenara
- Barrett
- Bridge (Ioane)
- Havili
- ALB
- Reece
- Barrett
- Taylor
- Tu'inukuafe
- Tu’ungafasi
- Vaa’i
- Jacobson
- Weber
- McKenzie
- Ioane (Jordan)
Changes above to what I think they will pick with my changes to my preferred ‘top’ team (in brackets)

I really can't see them benching Ioane after being probably the most dangerous back all season. Consistently performing to a very high level.
Otherwise I like it, but if people are worried about Blackadder, then Laulala shouldn't really be starting either....

I hoped I'm proved wrong.
Yeah on Laulala too, but Ofa isn't fit yet and we don't have a good enough option to step in yet (Lomax might get there but one good game is not enough for me yet and I'm sure not for the selectors)

I’d have ST at 2. Laulala by default at 3 but that spot is still open imo. Whitelock if available. Savea at 7 and Jacobson at 8 I don’t yet have quite have as much love as some posters for Dalton. Mounga at 10, ALB at 13, Ioane at 11.

Who is midfield cover?
Karl T Lorax on the pine?
You mention ALB not being match fit: he's only missed a week hasn't he? (Or is it two) so "fitness" shouldn't be an issue But if his injury remains a problem I agree with the XV as I think both Jordan and Reece are right wingers and I'd pick them before Bridge if I could. Maybe Tupaea to 22 and Jordan starting if we can get Reece into 11 and Jordan to 14.
But I wouldn't lose a great deal of sleep if that is the XXIII.

I think ALB will be in, Bridge out of the 23, Ioane on the wing - touch wood. I won't comment on the props, I have no idea!

For all the talk of how dangerous the bombs of south Africa are, they put up appropriately 230 over the past 2 weeks, the wallabies dealt with them appallingly, and won both games
I am not worried.
Keep the ball for various sets of 5+ phases and we'll score more than they are capable of with their current game plan

Hard to know exactly what South African team will front up ,
While the media are acting like the results against Australia are a shock , The reality is normality has resumed ,
They may have won the same amount of world cups as us , but outside that , have been a pretty hot and cold team in reality , I think they enjoy getting themselves up for a window like a World Cup but struggle maintaining consistency for extended periods
The decline in Super, the rise of NH, and being able to pick players from Northern hemisphere helped too... The players who came back looked like stars, where previously they'd been off the pace

There is one abject retard, I think he still posts here, who in 2019 posted about how glad he was that Rieko Ioane was dropped. We have some real morons, but that takes the cake for stupidity.

I don't think this was me, but on behalf of all abject retards around here, I think we ought to have leniency on dumb posts made after a suitable period of time.
After all, this is the Fern not a marriage!

23 JordanI think that's the 23 if ALB fit, with 19 the biggest uncertainty. My hunch, though, is that Moody will be in 1 and Karl in 17.
If ALB out I'd be inclined to go with Tuapea on bench and Jordan moving to 14.
