My backline at moment is:
Smith
Beauden
Reece
Goodhue
Rieko
Jordan
JordieChristie
Mo'unga
ALBWould happily swap Clarke for Reece if he starts to recapture the form that got him selected in the first place.

what proves that he's the only decent scrummager imo is watching how Tu'ungafasi, Lomax and especially Ta'avao struggle there. Tu'ungafasi is the best out of those 3 and the best all round prop, but isn't a better scrummager than Laulala.
That's what I'm trying to figure out though - does he get penalised less? Win more tightheads? What is it?
@Bones He can hold his side up, allowing us a platform to attack from on, and yes, doesn't get penalised on defensive scrums. I remember when he went off against the Boks in townsville and they piled on the pressure on Tu'ungafasi who gave away multiple scrum penalties which nearly cost us the test.

I'm fine with either starting, but feel ALB offers more from the bench in terms of cover and impact

@No-Quarter fair enough. Never understood the concept of the bench player needing to cover all the positions. If the starters can cover positions then it doesn’t matter surely?

I prefer the utility to come from the bench, purely to minimise disruption. If you only have a 12 on the bench and he comes on for a centre/wing, that's two big changes to the backline.

@Bovidae said in All Blacks 2022:
@African-Monkey So do we follow the Boks lead and play each front row 40 mins?
I think we have to move on from Big Karl. Whether it's age or something else, but both Laulala and Tu’inukuafe contributed so much more around the field when at the Chiefs. I know Tu’inukuafe has had his health issues but he doesn't currently look like he can even play a full half.
Worrying times if guys can't contribute around the field because they're 29 and 30!
The other thing Fozzie said of interest is that positions causing most difficulty are midfield, loose forwards and front row (he listed them in that order and seemed like it was in order of his priority - front row came not quite as an after-thought, but somewhat tacked on).
Which in some ways is more revealing that he's more settled at lock, inside and outside backs.

Best to find an alternative. Don't think he's bringing much off the bench this year.

I noticed that the three Bledisloe games were announced in Feb but clearly clash with the Rugby Championship so I assume the third Bledisloe is still unknown?

I think it must be for player welfare. Basically two super long round trips there and back in a week are avoided, replaced by one super-long trip that is a fortnight long.
Presumably next year it will be the other way round.
I quite like it.

Yeah its interesting and a real challenge for NZ in SA but hey we need a good test. Looks like Australia got the rub of the green hosting SA at home and away to Argentina.

agreed, we see it all the time with someone like Banks at the Highlanders....he comes on...but has to come on at 10...so hunt has to move to 15...and gilbert/CGB (whoever) has to move to the wing...and now one sub has 3-4 people playing in new positions

Ok. Must have conflated the two games.
