Surely this would have been an ideal game to play Asafo Aumua off the bench. I think it’s rather pointless having Taylor on the bench, we already know what he can do at this level.
Already enough changes, so was a trial too far.

I like the balls to the wall thinking of "hey we've lost to Wales before, so we'll play the second stringers against Scotland eh?". Nothing like a new record to round off the year.

Love the change in narrative. I'll play. Too many average Blues players. At least the "average" Crusaders players have won something:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I reckon it will be OK. That tight five will keep the pasty haggis eaters at bay. All good! -

Well they better hope for no injuries in 2023 and/or (more) dips in form to either ST and CT, as they have hitched their wagon, come hell or high water.

Just to completely stress people out, I'ma say ST is not gonna get injured. Ultimate professional and hard as nails.

Nice tribute from the All Blacks to have the most Scottish looking guy in either team starting at halfback.

Signalling a clear intention to not give anything away.

It’s a shame Angus MacDonald doesn’t play anymore

Is he related to Hamish MacDonald? (All black in the 70s )

I think Clarke is very lucky to be playing ahead of Reece in this game as he was very poor against Wales. He needs to have a performance that backs up his talent.

There's so much potential there, I think they're just gonna thrash him until it clicks and if it doesn't, he won't make the RWC squad.
They've got plenty of other wings in form and in the know to front up and do an adequate job.

I think you are right ,
he is potentially the type of winger they want on one side even though he’s not quite there , and they will persevere for now and hope it clicks , Reece is probably insurance .

Love all the posts complaining about not having the “best” team.
We’ve had a shit season so far that has meant little opportunities to bring the whole possible squad into things as much as we need and are taking an opportunity against the lowly Scots.
Are you guys scared of Scotland all of a sudden? -

It's frustrating. Good under the high ball, pace, reasonable defence, can break tackles but has this knack of tripping over, running away from support (or the support not backing up) and letting a great break die.
Worth sticking with though.
