@Kiwiwomble up against it obviously
although some fun trivia the last time Fakatava, Nareki and TUJ all featured in the same backline was easter Friday 2021 when we beat the crusaders in chch@FakatavaAllBlack i think the last time we played the blues in the opening round was 2018 in dunedin and we won that....
i will admit that blues team started Michael Collins on the wing i think...and we had bender at 15...so you know...different times

Also from that article:
Leon MacDonald’s fifth year as head coach is expected to be his last, with the possibility of joining the All Blacks coaching team alongside Scott Robertson or leading Scotland live options.

Can't believe it's his fifth year already.

Sounds like the Blues, Crusaders and Hurricanes will be looking for a new coach next year with Holland also tipped to join Robertson.

Watching the game last night, I can see why Ofa has slimmed down and we have the locks we do starting. Too much size is going to kill some of these guys, hope our fitness is on point!

Depends on the game plan and selections. Ripe for a 1987 style blitz in the last 20 running teams off their feet.
