All Blacks vs Scotland

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks vs Scotland:
I quite like the idea of ALB coming on at 13 with 30 to go and Rieko shifting to wing.
Yeah that works for me too, but the way we've seen Rieko perform when he's shifted to wing this year does make me keen to see how he'd go starting.

@Frank I, for one, am glad we have a really early thread for this one having nabbed some tickets for it. Have never been to Murrayfield before, taking the wife and leaving the kids with her parents.
@TeWaio I went there once...stadium was empty with no game scheduled, but I have been to Murrayfield

The All Blacks have also welcomed back fellow midfielders Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Braydon Ennor after they were released to the second-tier All Blacks XV last week.

I presume Telea will get a run - otherwise it's a shame if he misses out on AB XV just to be cover (without playing).

It would be great to see Telea get a run on the left wing.

Unless there’s a bit of media games there’s hinting at a few changes. If we are going to make changes then let’s go with:
9- Christie
10- B. Barrett
11- Telea
12- J. Barrett
13- ALB
14- Reece
15- Perofeta21- Smith
22- Havili
23- Ioane9/10 - Blues combo
10/12 - brothers combo
13 & 14 - need more game time
11 - here’s your chance
15 - needs opportunity to stake a claim for next year.21-23 insurance!

@ACT-Crusader i liked it better when you just picked rubbish Crusaders players. That's yuck
The fuck do we need changes for? Most of the team hadn't played in a month and a half, and the backs did 3/8 of fuck all on Saturday, should be fresh as daisies.

@mariner4life cant play 3 tough games in a row...although, when is a game not considered a tough game?
Scoring 30? 40? 50?

@mariner4life well that was what I was getting at.
-
i'll be quite happy with a largely unchanged team baring maybe the wings...if we thrash them then great...lets build some confidence

They’re not*. So live a little, play a few of the squaddies, rotate a bit, let all the nervous nellies get a bit more anxious. And when we win by “only” 20, the doomsayers will be out and another dozen articles about Razor will come out of the woodwork.
*I do not condone arrogant All Black supporters

I'm far more selfish
I don't want to watch Stephen fucking perofeta and Braydon Ennor and the the rest of the dirt-trackers. I want to watch the best AB side play. Every week. Run you fuckers, it's what you are paid handsomely to do
-
if we want to blood some depth...lets do it like we always use too....field the best team to start...get 30 point lead and then change...starting the new guys and thinking the experience on the bench will just come from behind is just asking for trouble
-
They gave called up TJP and demoted Weber, not sure if that means TJ is getting a run vs Scotland.

It will do. Discussed elsewhere. This is all about keeping them in the mix.
Demotion sounds like Weber has done something wrong. They have just rotated around the squads.

:face_vomiting: Neither RTS nor Ennor should be anywhere near ABs
