@Chester-Draws those sorts of facts have no place here, we have expectations!
I see Telea is training in Argentina, as is ALB.

The first All Blacks side of the year will be named on Friday (NZ time).Surely it's a banning offence to provide the answer before someone asks the question? Never mess with TSF tradition.

But what if the sentence is both a question and an answer? Like above?

In the forwards, I noted Mils on The Breakdown had Codie Taylor penciled in to start, and that won't surprise me.
I reckon it might be:
de Groot, Taylor, Lomax
Retallick, Barrett
Frizell, Cane, SaveaTaukei'aho, Williams, Tu'ungafasi, Vaa'i, Papali'i
I hope big Tamaiti gets a run.
As previously, I'd like to see them start Scott at 6, Vaa'i at lock and that would allow Finau and Papali'i on the bench.
But, I suspect they won't.

I expect it’s going to be Ofa or Tamaiti, as mobile LHs. Laulala will be in 23.

Are they mobile or is that just compared to Laulala who is about as mobile as a statue on Easter island.

@DaGrubster i want Stevenson to start. BB can come off the bench for 10/15 cover. SS is a phenomenal athlete. We need to see him play. Also, an error from him will not cost the game. Of the games we've lost its because we've been collectively shit. If ever there is a time, it has to be now.

That’s my feeling with Stevenson too.
All this hand wringing about his downsides to me feels misplaced. The boy is a gun.
We could be 20-0 nil up after 30 minutes with his line breaks.
Get as many players on the pitch that cause them problems.
Stop worrying about whether he will shell a pass or miss a tackle.
It’s a bit like Beaudy back in the day. He had his obvious limitations but he had so much gas we were still winning games in spite of his inability to control a match.
We should let shooter loose and see what happens.

I would prefer Jordan if available and would like to see Stevenson too but he was only picked as injury cover so not sure Foz will trust him, hence my comments.
This year we will see Cane and BB as it is Foz as the main selector.
Next year we will see the new broom approach taken with Razor

@DaGrubster WJ is in the side when fit. That's a given. But SS has been lighting up for the last couple of years. WJ isn't playing, BB just looks utter gash, and DMac provides cover. We need game breakers. Under Fozz-ball the team looks void of ideas and maybe a SS can spark that attack.
