Happy to see Jacobsen. Reckon he's the long-term fix there. Sorry Ardie.
Yeah I like this trio with Ardie on the bench. I want us to look at specialist bench players again like we did first under Mitchell, it's such an important part of test footy, and Ardie will just fucking dominate coming on fresh against tired defenses in the final 20 minutes - he could be an absolute weapon for us and I don't think we're making the most of his talents starting him.

Yeah I don't see the point in starting him when what you need in those initial exchanges is someone who can match up physically. Jacobsen fits the bill perfectly IMHO. And as you say, Ardie and his fresh legs would carve up when coming on as a sub.

I can see why Rieko has been dropped. There was one break that Reiko did, in the first half I think, where he found himself in space after beating multiple players through pace, swerving and stepping, but he failed to link up. Bridge would have linked up by throwing a wide pass to a supporting player and a try would have been scored. Very poor effort from Rieko.

So it looks like the team I posted from allblacks.com was released prematurely as the official announcement time is 12:30 pm.

@bovidae ha I was wondering why the naming just popped up on one of my news feeds

Does Rieko really need a rest? He's building form and he's a farking winger, it's not like he gets bashed around every game like the forwards. Feels like rotation for the sake of it to give everyone gametime rather than him actually being burnt out at all. And by fuck the step down from Rieko to Bridge could not be bigger.

Perhaps Foster wants to give him time in the midfield once the game has settled down, or replace Bridge if the later goes AWOL?

How shitty is the graphic design on this - uneven gaps between the players, and dirty messy background

Some of them look way to cheerful for my liking as well.
