the whole 14+1 ferns would be cool if they weren't holding a jersey where you can clearly see many more than 14, if the player oenas are going to be different then say that but the ones were going to buy arent going to have that detail

I'm ready to declare it the worst black AB jersey ever. The only path to redemption for this jersey is for Fozzie's boys to win the whole thing

We are being set up for an epic troll.
It is inconcievable that we win this. If we do, with the worst coach and worst jersey, with a bang average squad, with the toughest draw we've had the meltdown will be spectacular.

It does feel like the opposite of 2007, which seemed to have an almost ideal build up from 12 months out...
Time to make a rare visit to the TAB!

Awesome about Tevita, hopefully he takes his chance. He’s been going under the radar a little the last few years but I think he has the ability to mature like Lomax has with the right coaching.

Man, imagine the meltdown if that happens, Foster moves to coach Scotland or Japan and they beat us on a off-day.
Def. not going to happen of course....

@DaGrubster said in All Blacks 2023:
Only game it should affect is the Frogs, who are obviously intimidated by the Blackness they changed their jersey colour to try and put us off.
Italy, Uruguay and Namibia all variations on light blue.
tournament hosts, who traditionally wear dark blue
Bollocks

What's the likely team for the match? Will Foster give the guys who played in the final reduced minutes (where possible)?
Perhaps...
1 De Groot
2 Coles
3 Lomax
4 Barrett
5 Retallick
6 Frizell
7 Papalii
8 Savea
9 Smith
10 Barrett
11 Clarke
12 Barrett
13 Ioane
14 Narawa
15 Stevenson16 Taylor
17 Tuungafasi
18 Laulala
19 Lord
20 Finau
21 Roigard
22 Mo'unga

@Mr-Fish I guess Fozzie could do anything - but, I'm inclined to think he'll run out what he thinks is close to his strongest available team. Which isn't too much different to what you've got here.
Beauden to fullback and Richie (or DMac) at first five. I'll be annoyed if he gives BB any test starts at first five.
Samisoni and Cane into the pack.
If his first choice RWC 6 is going to be SBarrett (and I think it will be), I'd like to see him play there as much as possible, but he likely won't for this one.
Scooter's locked at 6 when Brodie & Sam are available.
Here's hoping this is the top 23 come World Cup time:
1 De Groot
2 Taukei'aho
3 Lomax
4 Rettalick
5 Whitelock
6 Barrett
7 Papalii
8 Savea
9 Smith
10 Mo'unga
11 Fainga'anuku
12 Barrett
13 Ioane
14 Narawa
15 Jordan16 Taylor
17 Newell
18 Williams
19 Vaa'i
20 Finau
21 Roigard
22 McKenzie

23 Lienert-Brown@kiwi_expat I wouldn't mind that - but, unless Sam Cane gets broken, he's going to be at 7.
I reckon plan will be Jordan at 14 and Beauden at 15 - might change.
I hope Ethan Blackadder will be back in the mix (and in the 20 jersey).

@Chris-B as I said not the team Fozzie will pick, but I can hope.

23 Lienert-BrownI just can’t see BB missing a bench spot, rightly or wrongly. Maybe Jordan to 14, DMac to 15, BB to the bench and Narawa misses out?
