Here is the apparent backline for this weekend barring any set backs that I’ve just been sent. I do have doubts because the decisions are a little odd but I can only take his word for it. Hasn’t led me astray so far so thought I’d share with the fern.

- Dmac
- Mark Telea

has telea been THAT bad? doesn't feel that long ago he was the second coming, hopefully just needs a push in the right direction

@canefan I live in Wimbledon, but that’s where I played when I was a junior. Ten grass courts in those days.

Two tries let in to being out of position/out-jumped from cross-kicks in a single game is a major issue.
It really doesn't matter how good the rest of your game is, if there is a massive weakness that others can exploit quite so dramatically then you aren't going to stay in black.
It's not like the alternatives are that much worse attacking either.

and Sevu Reece got run past in a simple 1 on 1.
It is a holistic assessment. I really rate Sevu, but he is on the small side for Test rugby. Want Caleb back there; his work in the air (particularly at kickoffs) is awesome

@Chester-Draws as i say, i get he has some real work on's and others are currently clearly playing better, just seems a little harsh to suggest "last chance"

Our winger are great at super rugby level but a bit limited at test level
I would prefer Clarke and Rieko. Speed and power. With Love at FB until Jordan is fully fit.

ABs have won 1 of their last 6 tests in Wellington
If they lose this weekend I petition to shift the Bledisloe match out of Wellington....

Even that (1) win was a lackluster result, they only won 26-14 with France playing with 14 men for 70 minutes....
The Auckland & Dunedin tests were absolute routings, 52-11, 49-14.

The cake tin hoodoo is very real.

Just think if the 43,,000 capacity AMI Stadium hadn't sunk in liquefaction the All Blacks historical winning record might be a few digits higher with less fixtures given to Wellington.
2011 pre–world cup against SA is the only high scoring performance in the capital since the 2011 earthquake -. 2012, 13, 14, 16, all low scoring wins... since then all loses except for that 2018 test.

Lost to Lions the year before too.
Our record in Wellington is by far the worst in Mz

Brace yourself for the team naming.

I don't get the ALB selection, if Ioane isn't starting then surely Proctor deserves that opportunity being the form 13. I actually wouldn't have minded if ALB and Proctor started again together to send a rocket up J Barrett aswell.
