Bledisloe 2

@Crazy-Horse he's used to playing outside Morgan who is more like RM.
I was more concerned at the prospect of BB being at 15 with RM at 10. That has not worked and I suspect adding JB into the playmaking mix may complicate things too much.

Don't think JB at 12 is really an extra playmaker just a bigger body with a big boot.

Yeah I don't really see that JB would play more of a playmaking role than DH?

Here’s our 10-15 for Bledisloe 2
-
So with Cane failing the HIA on Thursday, is he out also?
Still a question mark over Ardie’s availability?
3x locks plus Papalii and Sotutu to start. Ioane and Jacobsen on the bench perhaps.

I read Cane wasn't tested at the ground but tested later last night and passed so it's up in the air.

Papalii is not going to make it. He is consistently anonymous at this level. Pity.

Same with Fakatava, Vaai, Goodhue, Faingaanuku and Sotutu. Can them all.
Edit: something which would be interesting would be to see the progression of Cane at 24, looks like he debuted at 20 so I guess he was just into getting regular starts.
-
I heard, can't remember where though, that he will be available but DH will not.
Will have to be JB at 12, I don't see any other options

Maybe available. He had concussion some but passed the day one test (like sexton) so he could be available. There's another test later, but also ABs have been traditionally very conservative with head knocked. So I don't see cane playing even if he is available

I hope he's back. He was missed once he went off.

He'll be back. Foster made a comment that implied the baby had been born.
The easiest option is JB to 12 and BB to 15, i.e., the backline that played in the 2nd half. I also don't think that the RM-BB combo has worked that well.
Putting RTS at 12, in combination with Ioane, could also be looked at. Less disruption and you still have the aerial strength and big boot of JB at the back. BB to provide impact off the bench.
I think there may also be some tweaks in the reserve forwards like Ofa for Newell.

RTS? Straight swap rather than re jigging the backing like @Bovidae says

Still missing my point. I have no issue with JB being at 12 no matter how he plays. My issue is with RM at 10 if BB is at 15. Those two haven't worked out how to play well together.

In Bled 1 he just seemed to do the basics reasonably well. Cart it up or pass outside. The one cross field kick he did was very good because the aussies were nowhere to be found

Being selected in midfield for the ABs is almost like an invitation to guest of honour at a career-threatening-injury party.
So it depends who you want to get injured the least, I guess.

Not sure RTS is the answer.

Has to be Jordie or Ennor. Unless Foster & Schmidt go left-field for someone like TUJ
