    Really don't like that front row in the French game.

    I hope the selectors keep in mind that even if this kind of is a development xv game it won't be in the record books as such.

    Surely Ioane will get a run in the Saturday game and will be wanted for the Scotland game? Does he need to play midweek as well?

    @crucial Think Ioane's out for BaaBaas with dislocated finger, so I assumed they'd give him some tune up time against French XV. Could well just give him 20 off bench.
    Front rows fairly hairy. I s'pose one alternative is to start youngsters against Baabaas and keep Hames and Laulala in reserve? Still hairy IMO!

      I thought the schedule was Baabaas, Real France, Pretend France (midweek), Scotland?

        @crucial Quite right: my bad. Seem to have mental block on order. Slightly revised below:

        NZ Development XV

        Perry/Harris/JTA/Savea/PatT/Barrett (S) /Fifita/Kaino/TKB/DMac/ALB/Goodhue/Seta T/Duffie/Havili

        Bench: Crockett/Aumua/Moli/Hunt/Bird/Drummond/
        Mo'unga/Ioane

        Need a wing on bench as Seta handily covers midfield, so Naholo or Ioane, who has a few less miles on the clock.

                The name of this thread needs changing. There's nothing remotely 'pommy' about the Baabaas. You have to search very hard for a player from north of the equator.

                  As mentioned in the newspaper the ABs-Baabaas game could just have easily been played in NZ when you look at who is in the Baabaas team.

                    Yeah, its a bit sad that a rugby tradition such as the Baabaas has effectively died due to the club/schedule structure in the UK

                        Looking at that line-up, the Baabaas actually do have a chance of winning this game.

                        Here's the story:

                            Barbarians are paying $8.50. Worth a lazy $10.

                                @bovidae some south sea islander. They're in England now.

                                  allblacks.com have changed their team list so the Tongan starts over the Samoan.

                                        Looks like they are practising getting penalised for holding on in the tackle.
