RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina
-
I think it would be risky to make any changes thinking about the final. We need to front up with our best side and use our bench a little different.
I'd be surprised to see Blackadder start. If Foz was to make a change to starters it would be probably be Jacobson in. Blackadder a possible option on the bench in a 6/2

Well I just said that, didn’t I

I think Telea will be the only change unless there is an injury.
Depends on how Nugget is physically, but expect Roigard on the bench with some minutes. The thinking about Christie's selection for defence hopefully won't count in this game.

Why? Horse for courses??
As much as I want Roigard to be there, I also want Foster to commit to a reserve 9 - and if that’s Christie, then he should be on the bench again this week ahead of the (touch wood) final

It's a fucking world cup semi final
Play the top team and hope we are in a position to give guys an early mark

Roigard, DMac and Blackadder need to be involved. The question is who do we rest?
Maybe keep Frizzell on ice, do we protect A Smith and does BB come off the pine?
My team would be:
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Lomax
- Barrett
- Whitelock (keep Rettalick fresher for the final by bringing him off the pine)
- Blackadder (keep Frizzell fresh for the final)
- Cane
- Savea
- Smith
- Mo’unga
- Fainganuku
- Barrett
- Ioane
- Jordan
- DMac (Beaudy off the pine)
- Coles
- Williams
- Newell
- Rettalick
- Papali’i
- Roigard
- Barrett
- Leinert-Brown

Christ, not this shit again.
The ABs managed to win a massive game without him. I for one would be pissed off if they shoehorn him in at anyones expense.
Save this claptrap for when Cane has retired.

Come on Foz you got this

Yup. He better stick to his convictions. If having a defensive edge is required for a quarter final, when you don't even give him any game time - then it sure as shit is required in a final if we make it. Wouldn't that be just great going into the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

Yeah, think so. Foster has made that clear that the reserve 9 for Ireland was picked on that basis. Maybe they think they'll need to defend against Argentina in the last 20 as well.

Who do you want on the bench as Christie didn't play, so continuity isn't an issue? Roigard or Christie?

I literally just said Christie better be the halfback because we'd sure as shit need a defensive edge in the final and I don't want to be playing the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

@KiwiMurph if Fozbones had been coach he would've subbed Beauds and had DMac att halfback, to prove we can then have a DMac, ALB, LF bench.

Ah OK. You prefer Christie on the bench in tight games like Ireland and the Final (if we get there). Comprende
