    @Mattasaurus just looked it up, out for the rest of the ABs season this year. Bummer.

    Bugger...

    We certainly need more depth in the engine room. I can see SB cementing 6 if AI doesn't come back in and make it his (hope he does - but I'd like to see him play tighter than he did in SR)

    @Tim they said 12 days and was announced the Monday after wasnt it, so game day would be 12 days, so I'd say zero chance he plays unfortunately.

    Bower, ST, Laulala
    Barrett, Vaii
    Akira, Sotutu, DP,
    Smith, BB
    Goodhue, Reiko
    Reece, Jordie, Jordan

    That'd be my starting 15, I suspect I'll be wrong by at least 5 players.

    Savea best player in 1st test, DP anonymous in the 2nd. It’s like saying Frizzell was awesome in SR so he must make the starting XV. Has DP yet had a very good game for the ABs against proper opposition.

    Provided Retallick and Vaai are fit I’d probably go SB again at 6, since he’s a jumper. Otherwise Akira.

    Sotutu has to be in the mix. PGS sadly has looked a bit overawed in both Tests off the bench.

    Not sure if that would change if PGS was running on in the starting 15, but he's not (yet) good enough to warrant that.

    I mean the first Q is is Cane still captain? If yes he starts at 7. If not then who is captain (whitelock will be out)? If you keep cane then imo it’s SB at 6 and ardie at 8 and I’d have sotutu and akira on the bench (SB covering lock, dont want PT anywhere near the 23). If you dump your captain then I’d put ardie at 7, sotutu at 8 and akira and DP on the bench.

    TBH I think the tactics are more of a problem. You can change the team but if it’s just midfield bombs and wide passes from AS then result will be the same.

    Foz has confirmed Clarke won't be fit.

    So like Lord that's a second wasted spot in the original squad.

    Also mentioned whitelock is a possibility, somehow

    At least we got to have a look at Faingaanuku and he got to learn some harsh lessons. I can't see him repeating that performance.

    @KiwiMurph Reece moves to left wing, Will from Harcourts starts on the right.

    Our turn to rush a player back in after a head knock out of desperation

    @Canes4life not bad, but either swap QT and Goodhue or don’t have Goodhue in the 23.

    You'd figure that Foster will take account of who NZ are likely to face next weekend, with some players from the Tuesday match having to go again in the final test.

    Ringrose was clattered and is out of the remaining games with mandatory stand down for HIA.
    O'Mahony is also a doubt.
    Sexton says he just has a leg injury but reckons he's ok.
    Something tells me Lowe might not get a start. And/or Hansen.
    Keenan is a lock-in.
