@voodoo thanks for the kind words.

Just teasing old mate, all sauce is appreciated here, especially in a test week

Ryan is being let go.

His waistline was clearly last year...

Another huge game this weekend. Will fortress Eden Park withstand.
Will Razor and Co adapt.
Loosies need to up their game.

What time is the naming of the team? Thx in advance.

We adapted in the 2nd half to negate the rush defence. It wasn’t pretty but it was good to see a change in tactics and to do what’s necessary to win the game.

Feels like we hadn’t seen that for a while.

England will bring that heat again and I have no doubt we will have a plan to be able to beat it. It’s whether we can execute that plan is the million dollar question.

Let’s see how good super coach is at adapting to a side for a second match. It’s fairly new territory for him to have the opportunity to play the same side a week later

Apart from at halfback, the only change I’d make is to bring Akira on to the bench.

I'd have him as the starting 6 but he's sadly not in the squad.

Akira's power would be perfect against England.

You not been around for a couple of weeks or something?

[pakman]

@Bones I said I’d make the change. He’d be perfect in tandem with Finau. Pity TWM didn’t include him in squad.

as mentioned i hope Perofeta can build on last week

[Kirwan]

Pleasantly surprised. Good call on Perofeta, rewarding form.

[KiwiMurph]

Hopefully only one forced changed means more cohesion in test 2.

Would like to see more directness in attack.

[African Monkey]

I like it. Good to see them giving guys a chance to build on last week.

Happy with the consistency in selection. Make sure we win this game against England and then we can look to bring in a few fresh faces next week. i.e. Blackadder, Proctor, Williams, Clarke, Narawa etc.

Thankfully predictable. A win after only a coupe of weeks in camp and only an injury enforced change. Stability in selection is the most important element to embedding new styles of play.
