    Akira - Cane - Savea seems the most likely starting loose trio for the North Island. Whether they are the ‘form’ three doesn’t really matter as I think they’d (AB selectors) will want to see what these three can do together.

          Edit: My screenshot was too large.

          My differences from yours (so I don't have to write the whole thing out):
          Walker-Leaware instead of Scrafton (need at least one Magpie in there).
          Akira at 6 and Hoskins at 8.
          Laumape and ALB in the midfield.
          Reiko on the left wing and Clarke on the right.

          Edit: Jesus, I'm having a multiple facepalm day, thought I was editing my original post, not bloody quoting myself.

              @Nepia Laumape is not available, so fook knows why he's in the list, the game is in 3 weeks. Maybe Sotutu will be?

                    @Nepia S Barrett is definitely out until Nov so won't be involved in this game.

                    It would be good to have an injury update on Sotutu and Robinson.

                    I want JB to play at fullback because I don't see him starting on the wing for the ABs.

                        @Nepia I did realise that. allblacks.com should have an updated player list to choose from.

                          If Sotutu is available, I would not select him with Akira Ioane. They don't look very complementary. If fit, Tom Robinson should be at Nr.6. But I guess Foster will choose Boshier instead. A back row with Cane - Ioane - Savea is a big probability though.

                              ALB will start at 12.

                              On form he shouldn't.

                              And I acknowledge that goes counter to who I've pout at fullback.

                              The SI will be stronger in the tight five than the NI but weaker in the loose forwards.

                                Yeah Sotutu kept getting better and better as did Aoane, that's a bit of a confusing take by cg there.

                                    They were very complementary when they played together this season.

                                    Yeah Sotutu kept getting better and better as did Aoane, that's a bit of a confusing take by cg there.

                                    If Sotutu is available, I would not select him with Akira Ioane. They don't look very complementary. If fit, Tom Robinson should be at Nr.6. But I guess Foster will choose Boshier instead. A back row with Cane - Ioane - Savea is a big probability though.

                                    @cgrant obviously doesn’t like blondes....

                                      Yeah the injuries to Scott Barrett (or is he NI qualified), Blackadder and Grace have reduced their back row options significantly.

                                      Drummond and Webber definitely a step down from Smith and TJP.
