Feel free to move this to Foster
Been thinking about this whole coaching conundrum
As far as I’m concerned you pick the best 23 available to you every match
You can tinker with who starts and who finishes but you want your best charges present and correct at every opportunity
But how do you blood new players I hear you ask?
Ardie Savea is the best No 8 in the world at the moment
If Sotutu is chosen ahead of him based on merit not rotation then Sotutu can rightfully feel he’s possibly the best No 8 in the world
He’s trained day in day out with the best in the world (Savea) and been chosen ahead of him
That’s all he needs to perform
Not 10 minutes at the end of a match that’s already won against a side who are already beaten
Alldritt is very close.
France have always had some of my favourite number 8s. Harinordiquay, Chabal, Picamoles……what a bunch of talented psychos.

We're more worried about Fozzie.

I think you just stole that title from me. Or perhaps more accurately, randomly including a poster who wasn't part of the conversation...

A 'depth' team:
De Groot/Sami/Lomax/Paps/Vaa'i/Big Sam/Akira/Ardie
Christie/RM/Jordie/ALB/Clarke/Telea/BB
Bench
Ofa/Aumua/Nepo/Scooter/Harmon
TJP/Perofeta/Havili
Something tells me that's just too much change!

Arguably that's a full strength pack minus Vaai. I'd start Bower and Newell. Possibly TJ. Havili in for Barrett.
Scotland gets way too much respect.
