    @kidcalder I don't think that's the case at all. Pretty bizarre selecting a poor player to start, just so the guy that replaces him is better.

    For me, it's more a horses for courses situation. Unfortunately we can't replay the match all over again, changing the starters around to see how they would have reacted in the reverse roles

      Halfback is not a position which it matters so much to have impact as the forwards. (such as bringing on Patty T)

      Provided the halfback is fit enough to play the style, you can keep him on for as long as you need, especially if he's superior to the other option - as we did with Aaron Smith.

      I'd say you start Roigard, and replace him if he begins to fade.

        Actually next year off the bench Gotham's sheer pace could be a weapon and I like a bit of R &R as well

          We sure could use a superhero or two for this game.

              Ireland, as number 1 side in the world and playing at home, are rightly the bookmakers' favourite to win this one. Form suggests they will win too. Can the All Blacks create an upset?

                  Beauden Barrett and Codie Taylor failed their HIAs so I assume will be unavailable.

                        Barring injury, think there'll be little change from the team that played England. Maybe TJP ahead of Ratima. and Roigard to start.

                          Exceot Hotham doesn't have sheer pace. He's not slow, but speed isn't one of his assets.

                            @Crazy-Horse yeah I'd pick Roigard as quicker, although that may have changed post injury.

                                    Riccitelli's solid throwing might be useful for these games ...

                                      Every time England threatened in our half we gave away a quick penalty. England were content to kick goals, and didn't maintain try line pressure. Ireland won't be content to do that, and will regularly score if we give them that many opportunities.

                                          Can't see why you would play de Groot. He has been poor this year. Underwhelming scrumming, and low impact around the field. Tu'ungufasi was good when he came on and put in some hits.

                                          Proctor's defense was exposed by Japan, the 14th ranked team.
