    We're playing the long game.

    Predictions are that we'll finally see The Plan (TM) come to fruition in the early 2030s

                    Finally Akira to get a test cap!

                    Talk about long overdue.

                    Good to see some new blood on the bench too

                        I thought Tuipulotu might have got a complete rest.

                        Happy for Akira to get his chance and to see how that midfield operates from the start.

                                Be great to see Jordan get a good run, under what should be quite a bit of pressure.

                                  that team should be looking to win by a minimum of 30.

                                      In making a number of changes to the squad, Foster explained: “We’ve been really delighted with the whole squad, so we feel that there are some players who are really putting their hand up and deserve an opportunity.

                                      “Secondly, it’s been a big three-week Test series to date against Australia; it’ll be another massive Test, so we’ve brought in some freshness and new energy into the group. Players are jumping out of their skins to get onto the park.”

                                      Foster said the four players named to play their first Test had all been working hard and had earnt the opportunity.

                                      “We’ve been really impressed with Akira. He’s keen, he’s ready and to have his first Test start is pretty special. I know Asafo is also excited for his first Test and he’ll bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm when he comes off the bench.

                                      “Cullen Grace is a young man who has also been very impressive. He’s got a nice, quiet demeanour about him, but we know he’s excited. Will Jordan has also been working really hard; he’s settled in really, really well and he’s got a calmness about him. He’s been doing a great job behind the scenes and we’re delighted he’s got his opportunity.”

                                        I like it although would have preferred to see Jordan start ahead of Reece , Coles ahead of Taylor and TJ not being included in the 23 at all. But at least we are seeing some new guys being given a chance.

                                          An interesting titbit from an interview with Foster was that they use Akira Ioane to niggle the other players when he's defending in training, to help prep for real match play.
