Kolisi and probably Arendse out. The injury count is getting out of hand.

They'll be fine by Thursday

The "best player in the world" has come back from Japanese rugby to find Test rugby is a massive step up. All Blacks should only be selected out of Super Rugby.

Unfortunately New Zealand doesn't have an in form number eight or blindside flanker to replace the two that started the first Test. Pity the Blues weren't any good at confrontational forward battles this year.

I also can't see why anyone in their right mind would drop Rieko after the game he had.

Thought PsDT went ok today

Yes but I think he can influence even more at flanker. And I thought Kwagga was deadly. Again.

Think you may have missed the point on that one.

He was talking about BB, but PsDT also works in Japan

He was being sarcastic about Ardie Savea.

[OomPB]

Rassie can give Moodie, Am, AE, and Pollard a start. Nortje had such a great game and maybe give Kitshoff with Escom a run.

maybe a little random .... and can't see it happening -

But are we using NZs Stirling Mortlock too much at 12 rather than 13?

I just like the idea of Jordy hitting hard on to ALB short balls and deft little passes...

He’s also got the pace for centre as evidenced by his intercept

It's hard to detect sarcasm in print. You are being sarcastic right?

You’re calling him this just cos he got an intercept right?

No

I was using the confusing SH terminology

He’s currently playing 2nd 5/8

You need more pace to play centre, especially speed endurance

JB has that, hence my comment

What JB have you been watching? He's not quick and he didn't look quick when he took that intercept.

He went in untouched from 51m

Quick enough for me

He was handed the ball by the Boks while all their backs were in attack mode and he had to jink near the line to avoid being run down.

[canefan]

Doesn't detract from the fact our MF had a very good game, their best this year easily

[sparky]

I'd go with the same starting XV, but switch to a 6-2 bench and hope to hell we can can maintain power and discipline up front in the last 15 minutes next week.

[ACT Crusader]

12- Havili
Under the pump, must win, coach feeling a little pressure, secret weapon.

15- Jordie Barrett
His running game is needed at the back. Plus better opportunity to use his boot to clear the ball

Jacobson (if fit) to the bench.

If Clarke is out, they will likely start MT. I’d go for Reece for workrate.

Very true and most would have expected them to chase down a cart horse

But they didn’t

Fair to say he's so speedster. But he's no slug either
