Yeah we’ll go with that.
Anyone but that Scots ranga.

I would start Christie with Ratima on bench while no Roigard. TJP played himself down last night in my eyes. Would also start Procter or ALB at 13 as I think Rieko off the pace currently. Hard call between Reece and Narawa on wing. Would be happy with Plummer at 22 if Love's injury gives 15 to BB
Wonder if George Dyer may be a smokey? Tuungafasi and De Groot not at their best. IWL impressed me last night so might be a bench option without Pat T or Lord.
The loosie cover is a real poser. Sititi may yet edge Lio Willie and Blackadder out and maybe Luke J edges Lakai. -

A possible scenario that I hope doesn't play-out:
Robertson's squad to have some absolute shockers in it, and the team loses the first test after a red card. If he loses at Eden Park then it's all out war to have him removed.
Imagine this pack running out onto Forsyth Barr Stadium:
1 Bower
2 Taylor
3 Newell
4 Barrett
5 Strange
6 Grace
7 Blackadder
8 Savea -
Any way we can trade other countries a couple of surplus wings for decent locks to make things fair ?
The fact Vai’i is an absolute lock ( shit pun intended ) is not a glowing endorsement on this position.

Vaai had an excellent game yesterday. See if he can transfer it to the test level.

Busy and good in lineout.
I wish he didn't fold like a newspaper when carting it up. -

Those selecting Sotutu on the bench means there is no 6 cover unless that is Barrett. Savea and Papalii aren't test options in that position.

Fairly tough on Bower, Blackadder, Christie, ENS, Stevenson.
Laughable on Millar, Rayasi, Strange.
