Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October
-
Moody, Whitelock, R. Ioane - will they be back?
Does S. Barrett come into the starting lineup if Whitelock unavailable?
Do we persist with Jordie on the wing?
Is DMac still out best bench option?
Are we still taking a massive squad with reduced games?
When is the team named?

We need exactly the same team, because that's worth an extra seven points.

I wondered if that was per player? We could get more points by multiples of 7 for each guy that was put back in position?

If stability is the be all and end all, then John Mitchell is seriously under-appreciated for the Cantablacks. And surely @ACT-Crusader is actually on the money with his team sheets.

@mariner4life I hope they continue with ALB and Goodhue. R. Ioane to the wing or bench.
I’d love to see
15 - B. Barrett
14 - R. Ioane or Reece
13 - ALB
12 - Goodhue
11 - Clarke
10 - Mo’unga22 - J. Barrett
23 - R. Ioane or PUJ -

@mariner4life Maybe we should just put the St Kents team out each week?
Play together all the time, in school together, know each other well, should be ideal. Should win by 161.

I'd still have the midfield swapped around but it went O.K. last week and they seem to be flexible about it on the field i.e the numbers don't matter too much.

Already a question mark on availability of Ardie, Reece and Nepo due to baby-watch. If this comes true then match day squad will change.

yes, hello, my name is mariner4life and i have a question
if you are a professional rugby player from NZ, why are you timing babies for mid to late October? in a normal year all 3 of those guys would be expecting to jet off to Europe about now.

Clearly they weren't thinking about timing....

I'd still have the midfield swapped around but it went O.K. last week and they seem to be flexible about it on the field i.e the numbers don't matter too much.

Fozzie obviously has a plan though - it's not a trivial move to swap these guys around.
So does Jack offer a bit more size to run hard at the line - i.e. for Aaron Smith's try on Sunday? Or does ALB (and Rieko) offer a bit more speed at centre?
Or is it more defensive?

Ha. I asked these questions before last test and I don't think that they were answered.
I would stick with the same pair though.

A and B i reckon. JG fair smacked in to the line a few times on the weekend, and created quick recycle. He's also solid defensively

And with Beaudy and Jordie in the team it doesn't matter that he's an inside centre rather than a second five (providing kicking and playmaking options).

Moody, Whitelock, R. Ioane - will they be back?
Does S. Barrett come into the starting lineup if Whitelock unavailable?
Do we persist with Jordie on the wing?
Is DMac still out best bench option?
Are we still taking a massive squad with reduced games?

@ACT-Crusader said in Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October:

JB does sometimes look a little bit lost on defence on the wing, the Koroibete try is a good example when he moves to his left instead of holding his position out wide. The thing is that Reece also has issues defending on the wing, as does Jordan. Rieko would be in the only other "safe" option if there was to be a change.
