@Machpants TBF, Akira probably more skills as a 13 than Manu Tuilagi.

Well his availability is marginally more anyway.

So the 'talk' this morning is that LF comes in for Jordan, QT is at 12 and SB is at 6.
You have to wonder if this is guesswork from journos or actual knowledge as there's no mention of where Clark fits, who starts at 10, whether AS is ready......
This is the actual team.

@Kiwiwomble Looks like a lay-out that is made to fit in the photo. It looks terrible.

wasnt SB at lock with Kaino on that infamous day?
A touch of irony if he would move from lock to 6 against Ireland...his last outing at 6 went well though

If you mean that test in Chicago, no. The starting locks were Tuipulotu and Kaino. Scott Barrett made his test debut in that game via the bench, and actually played well. He scored a try on debut.

Barrett at 6 and Ennor at 23.
This coaching group are soft as butter.
Add Ofa starting to the puzzle queue

Both Papalii AND PGS on bench. Does that mean they are looking to sub either Cane or Ardie?

You don't need a lock on the bench when you have a lock at 6.
It's like admitting one of them should be playing 6 without the balls to actually do it.

neither
both locks will get subbed and PGS will play there too

@Tim said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:
@Crucial Cane gets subbed, Barrett shifts to lock.
which is actually a really fucking dumb way to manage your tight 5

did the coaches watch the game last night and decide Ofa will be sweet, of has Ofa been keeping his powder dry at Super level scumming?
Barrett to 6, does that mean we will attack the lineo...oh right
