Heading that Gordon and Donaldson are dropped.
White and Lolesio (!!!) to start
Taint and Lynagh on the bench.@NTA said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

Taint and Lynagh on the bench.Didn't Lolesio just sit out the last match due to injury? Felt like he was always going to return to the starting role. Similar-ish story for Lynagh who's had a few niggles that's hindered his training.
On the All Blacks' side, interesting that Blackadder hasn't been included at all. Maybe he still has a niggle - but strange to not just list him as injured in that case.

Bench: Tosi an improvement, but Darry, Jacobson, Perenara, and a specialist wing don't really scream impact to me.
Remain disappointed by the loosies, though I do like Wallace getting a run. I just don't see that trio being world class.
Rest is okay, though I do think it's time to move on from BB and one start is not really enough to assess Jordan. -

They haven't listed Blackadder as injured so assume he's been dropped for Sititi now?
Edit - no they say he has a hamstring injury even though he's not listed as unavailable due to injury

@Daffy-Jaffy normal state of affairs for him.

The backline is great, the forward pack, well we've talked enough about the issues with the squad selection. That's probably the best loose trio we have from within the squad, would prefer Paps at 7 but Cane has been OK. Sititi having to learn 6 on the job is tough on him, it's likely he's going to dominate with ball in hand again against the Wallabies, but "both sides of the ball" etc etc

Still too many experienced players adding fuck all continuing to get chance after chance off the bench

It's a fucken disgrace that Sotutu isn't in the squad.

Sorry mate. Haven’t been able to get the inside scoop this week other than the Love injury update. Hopefully find out more detail tomorrow or over the weekend but team has been named so unsure if there’s anything worthy of posting. If there is, I will.

Finally some confirmation of the Love injury. Stuff are a little slow with the news...
Ruben Love’s potential All Blacks debut has been put on hold after the Hurricanes fullback was ruled out of the remaining two matches of the Rugby Championship with a quadricep injury.
I see that Lord didn't travel to Aust (training with Taranaki).

I know you broke the news. My criticism was directed at Stuff/NZ media.
