    Was hoping to see Perofeta at 15 but otherwise pretty happy with that.

    I like that bench (except Laulala).

      Injuries have forced changes to the All Blacks team that defeated Australia in Melbourne, with captain Sam Cane, Scott Barrett, David Havili and Quinn Tupaea unavailable for selection this week.

        I’m really disappointed at the lack of melting down at the news that Taylor is starting. Sort it out guys.

          Really good balanced loose forward trio.

          Be interested to see if Ardie goes to seven when Sotutu comes on, or they just do a straight swap.

            Also I see Whitelock as captain, not Savea.

            Fair call. He captained well last week. Ardie can concentrate on his return

            It could also mean Ardie to be subbed if circumstances allow it. Then a Blues loose forward trio.

              They sub Cane when he's captain, not sure that matters to them.

                Quite a baffling selection from outside the camp.
                Taylor?
                Laulala?
                No SB?
                Akira starting?

                  Bahahaha. What's the Powerball at in NZ at the moment? That lucky fucker Taylor can set himself up for life.

                  Also, JB better have an off the charts awesome game from the way he's been pumped as a 12 for the past few years on the Fern. 🙂

                    As ludicrous as it is to see Taylor starting, imagine being a Wallaby forward and looking up at 55mins to see a fresh Sami trotting on

                      Well it took Havili 2 years to even approach average, the bar isn’t high

                        There's been a huge drop off when the frontrow is replaced, so that would explain using Taukei'aho off the bench. Not my preferred option though ...

                            The Taylor selection is the puzzling one for me when samisoni is obviously fit enough for the bench

                            Maybe scooter has a niggle ?

                            Beaudy tends to play more fb more than anywhere else these days .

                            They rightly or wrongly see Jordan as a 14 not a 15 at this level

                              Loooool fuck what???

                              Repeated failure front rowers in fucking Taylor, Ofa and Laulala back
                              S Barrett gone
                              This loose forward trio? (Though we are out of options)

                              JBarrett at 12?
                              BBarrett at 15?

                              This test has the hallmarks of a garbled mess

                              I hope I am wrong

                                Looking at that, BB will likely go to ten with Christie and Roger for another Blues combo. Good way to ease Roger in.

                                JB back to 15.

                                        @Tim I re-watched Bled 1 on Tuesday. I wasn't that impressed with Lomax around the field, and Newell hasn't lived up to the hype yet. Laulala isn't going to be an improvement with mobility or cleaning at rucks.

                                        Bower was good, but I would have used Ofa at TH.
