What I'm saying is that DMac had to come in somewhere to be the backup 10.
He's either a straight swap or you shuffle.
At this late stage a straight swap makes more sense

Yeah although I don’t like the selection, I understand it ,
if he is the number 3 - 10 , he has to be in there somewhere , it’s just a shame it couldn’t have been the bench somehow

Simple Aussie game plan - hurt Mo’unga
Who goes to 10 if Richie Mo'unga goes down in the second minute? DMac, TJP or Jordie. None fill me with confidence as Test First Fives.

Yeah, Josh Ioane....

With Beaudie out, Ioane becomes our most experienced back from 10-15
Mo’unga - 17 tests
Bridge - 9 tests
Goodhue - 13 tests
Ioane - 29 tests
Jordie - 17 tests
DMac - 23 tests@ACT-Crusader said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:

I’m surprised that they don’t seem to see Jordie as second playmaker - really they’ve got three out there. It’s a strange replacement .
But according to some he's a 12, not a 10 (or a 14 or 15)

And some simply wrote him off as a 19 year old.

The flakiest player in NZ who shouldn't be anywhere near the 46 gets a start lol.
Who is that? Jordie?

Mud sticks for sure. Jordie is so far ahead of DMac right now it's not even funny, especially when it comes to the attributes you want at test level. But I'm sure every single little mistake he makes will be poured over as proof he's unreliable.

Yeah, that could have been applied to DMac even in the year he was tearing it up in test rugby. JB hasn't had that year in test rugby yet but hopefully he can build on his Super form and have it this year.

@No-Quarter I don’t think it’s fair to judge Jordie properly until he’s in his rightful position.
It’s a shame Foster is a tugboat. I mean what he’s shown with these selections is that Super Rugby form means f all. You can’t go and say Jordie is the best fullback in NZ three times in a midweek press conference and then not give him the opportunity when it arises. Such a plonker.

Just listening to Fozzie and he says about Jordie...'No doubt he was the form 15 this year, that's why he's on the field'
But he's not playing 15 you twit!@Crucial said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:

@Frank said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:
Why not Will Jordan at 14 and Jordie Barrett at 15??
D Mac can be on the bench (at best)If they'd brought Jordan in, there wouldn't be any 10 cover. McKenzie had to come in but shoulda been on the bench with Clarke promoted. And on that, given Bridge can play fullback, he should be able to play on either wing.

@Bovidae said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:
Coaches are always reluctant to make too many positional changes because of one withdrawal. Reece to the right wing would have been the obvious choice.
And DMac to the bench/ALB out? Need a 10 replacement somewhere

Can't drop a guy out of the 23 out of choice.

@Crucial I know. I know!
The answer is George.
He's the only one who has scored at least as many tries as tests he's played in!
After an amazing career of seven tests too!
Although I’m fairly sure that both Rok and Jules were at over 100% at the same stage.
Cullen: 7 tries in his first two test matches. Dead set legend.

If he was available, you wonder if Foster would pick him at 13.
