Yes, you are right it would be.
Especially under the roof in Dunners. Which should give ideal conditions for us.

If we're gonna lose it's probbly going to be the 1st Test. Personally, I think the RC & EOYT are more important.

Going to be interesting, thought the poms looked ok v Japan ,
enough to potentially trouble us if we aren’t switched on anyway -

Yes, the 1st test is when we will be vulnerable. We have really made it hard for ourselves given the short turnaround between the super final and the 1st test.
Not making excuses for Razor, this is the type of challenge he should thrive on.
This series is more important than the eoyt imo. We only have to see what the fallout was like after losing to Ireland in NZ to get a sense of what it will be like. We don’t need a developing crisis for a new mgmt team 2 tests into their reign

So as the dust settles on the first ABs squad of the year, who is in the 23 to play the first test against England. I think Razor will select the following:
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Lomax
- Barrett (C)
- Tuipolotu
- Finau
- Papali'i
- Savea (VC)
- Christie
- McKenzie
- Clarke
- Barrett (VC)
- Ioane
- Reece
- Barrett
- Aumua
- Williams/Tu'ungafasi
- Newell
- Vaa'i
- Blackadder
- Ratima
- Perofeta (yuck)
- ALB
Pending injury in camp, I'd say you're on the money.
It will be interesting to see what differences they attempt to instil from the Fozzie era.

Desire hopefully.
There were times under Foster when they didn't seem to care that much. Then when it counted at the RWC they showed up mentally. I'm hoping Razor can get that passion out of them for every match like he seemed to with the 'saders for 7 years in a row.

We (NZ) do seem to have an aversion to warm up games don't we? The Black Caps think they are not needed, despite their performances, and I've noticed the days of the ABs playing the Island nations to start the season seem to be over as well. Why would we do that to ourselves?

Totally agree
An AB vs AB IX would be fun to watch and serve as a warmup.

They might be worried about injuries? But I'd also like to see one...

Quite a few according to Leon.
Seems quite challenging to transition to a new defensive system. You only need a bit of confusion in what someone is supposed to be doing and the whole thing falls apart.

I'd just like us to show patience with the ball in hand getting rid of all the cute 25/75 passes and 20/80 chip kicks. Show some actual depth of clearance on our exits and improved disclipline on defence.
Though with BB being an intergal part of the team I'm not sure if point 1 or 2 can happen

yeah, less of the do something risky if we dont score after 3-4 phase...have some faith we can keep the ball for long periods

DMac has more distance in his kicks than Mo'unga and BB. They could use JB more for their exits.

yeah, i thought when JB first came on the scene having a big boot was one of his selling points but dont think we see it as much as i would have liked/thought we would

Kick deeper, get away from our end and play down there

More miracle plays on attack for me, a maximum of 4 phases and if we haven't scored it's miracle play time, regardless of where we are on the field.

Back to traditional values (a bit like the Blues this season....)

That translates to less bs and risk, and hold onto the ball.
