All Blacks v Ireland - 2nd Test
-
In another twist, Dickson, who represented the New Zealand MΔori against Ireland in their victory in Hamilton last week, is training with his phone on as his wife is expecting their child.
I wonder whether the MABs have brought in an extra lock as cover for Dickon?

@Stargazer Who? MSR would start with Hicks on the bench.

@Kiwiwomble The young up and comers are Vaai and Lord. Pari Pari is probably another (injured).

@Frank You're picking Gallagher above, but once Quinten was fit again for the Crusaders, Razor picked him as the bench lock for the Super final.

@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test:
@Nepia Grace would be prepping for the Maori match and given they are down south they just need someone to run so went with a local that knows the stuff to run against the starters.
Dickson is in the same boat with the Maori. And for the local, I covered that with the part local MMT.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if he was selected to start at 6 this week. Angry yep.

Looks like Dickson is at home on baby watch!

That is handy for him and the excuses for Shannon.

Given the way Fozzie was talking last week I'd say it's more likely Papalii is at 6 and Sowakula is on the bench (Sowakula came on at 8 didn't he?). I'd like to see PGS get a crack at 6 though.
@KiwiMurph yep. I canβt see PGS starting unless we lost maybe one, possibly two others.
I think he packed at number 8 on that one attacking scrum where he scored and had Papaliβi on the blind and Ardie on the openside.

Since Sam is out, Scott needs to move back into lock. Patty T coming back from Japan should be slimmer and fitter than when he left which should help his ability to get around the park for 25-30mins if required.
If Akira's foot precludes him, I'd expect they'll look to have a backrow of Gus, Cane, Ardie.
None of this is ideal, we seem to be doing our best to give Ireland more than a fighting chance.

@Chris-B eh.. strange looked promising two years ago, been plagued with Injuries since, Josh Dickson is currently in the best form of his career & won't look out of place if he's wearing 19 on Saturday
@FakatavaAllBlack Yeah - every time he gets an opportunity to have a run of starts for the Crusaders, he gets injured himself.
Quinten can play though - and he's got a hard edge to him. He won't jump over Dickson this week as cover, but "he won't be far away".

@Chris-B seems like there's a mako arriving at Abs training every few days first it was former mako Telea, then Lomax, now Frizell & you seem to think quin isn't far away

It's because the NZR salary top up is minimised due to the lavish Mako contracts.

Have BBBR and Barrett started together before?
Yes, as Whitelock was missing from those games in Aust last year.
