@crucial Ta'avao should be involved in this game (ahead of Bower).

A 1 pm KO in Rome.

[Tim]

Imagine Rieko Ioane will get a rest.

[taniwharugby]

@tim you'd think Finlay would get a start too, with Webber off the bench.

I couldn't decide there. Was trying to find a back reserve balance. Maybe ALB on the bench but not used unless necessary?

All guesswork anyway as we don't know who needs play to keep sharp or who needs a careful build into the last two games.

As a ginga he's lucky to be in the squad. A start might set a precedence.

Geez Italy is early. 9pm here if my maffs is right.

Wales and Ireland painful timing as one ages.

And they pick the day it's due to rain.

[Bones]

Anybody over here going? Tempted to see if can find a ticket for France somewhere, but it doesn't look cheap.

Italy is a bit more bearable, be nice to pop to Rome for a weekend again.

I can imagine tickets to the Wales game would be a couple of hundred squid by now, plus the complication of trying to figure out my covid passport.

Dublin...yeah nah fuck Dublin.

The kick-off times are slightly different for the USA and Italy games, depending on which official website you look at:

USA v All Blacks: k/o 8.00am NZT (3.00pm local time) - according to ticketmaster website.

Italy v All Blacks: k/o 2.00am NZT (2.00pm local time) - as announced by the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) last week.
