    Apart from Jordie injury ommission I got everything except had DMac instead of Leicester. Hard to argue that isn't strongest available starting XV.

    @pakman Taukei'aho should've started every test this year. He was our best tight forward over the last two seasons.

      @pakman That pack worries me. Not much go forward. Need forwards that make the gaineline consistently. Apart from Barrett and Ardie, I don't think the rest of the pack can do that.

            His darts haven't been as consistent this year.

              Narawa ruled out of the RWC. Here's your chance Foster to undo your initial fuck up, pick Finau as a replacement.

              Foster will feeling smug about his own Buddha-like wisdom and picking an extra wing. A winger injury crisis was averted.

                The one player to make an impact last game, lets just drop him.

                    @DaGrubster Yeah, a one test rookie. Never going to make a difference in this WC, especially with the other wings we have.

                    That's Finau as well. :winking_face:

                      The replacement ought to be driven by injury status of BBBR/Frizell/Lomax. Obvious subs for latter two are Finau and Moody, with Ofa/Tamaiti covering TH.

                      If any doubt about Brodie we need a grizzled old bastard. Probably Paddy T, or maybe Josh Dickson.

                                For all the hate rest and rotation got, it developed players.

                                This coaching and selecting team are not setting us up to make the most of our players

                                  Oh Fozzie you really are a moron not selecting Roigard.

                                  As much as I want the ABs to win the WC, I really don’t want Fozzie having success. When he continuously makes cock up after cock up the guy isn’t deserving of being called a WC winning coach.

                                    Yes, BUT... I don't think it is as big a deal as some are making out. If the game is close, I suspect Smith to go the 80, because he is our best option by quite a margin for the gameplan we want to use, and has got the fitness levels in the tank to do it.

                                    Put it this way, I strongly doubt having Christie over Roigard will actually be a deciding factor in this World Cup.

                                    Playing with three number sevens on the other hand, I'd suggest it shows a poorly picked squad, because they clearly don't see enough in Jacobson, in which case they should have taken Akira Ioane.

                                          I suppose if you think about it, Rieko really only started playing test rugby at centre in 2021, and ALB has spent a load of time on the sideline during that period.
