    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.

      They were very complementary when they played together this season.

        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.

                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.

                              @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.

                              I wouldn't mind seeing the South play Jordie at 2nd five. Which would enable them to play Goodhue at centre and Jordan at fullback - and push Ennor to the wing.

                              But, Jordie at fullback and Jordan at wing seems more likely than vice-versa.

                                All depends on whether the AB coaches want to see their best players on the field irrespective of position, or in the position they would play for the ABs.

                                        @Dice Picking the worst team from each Island looks like fun ... can't believe you included Pale Maori Jesus in this team though.

                                          @Dice that looks like a pretty awesome side....only real issue as i see it, everyone knows Walden is a figment of our imagination...or that Mckay is and thats actually Walden in a Mckay mask...
