No BBBR! And what happens if Jordie crocked?
Finally get to see Ardie at 12!
What an underwhelming side, almost looks like some newbies being set up for failure...

That is a bit weird. Ennor?

No debuts for Stevenson or Roigard.
Forwards not great, props and Barrett aside.
Foster was always going to select BB at Fullback.

I didn’t think that was going to happen when Fozzie announced that everyone in the squad was travelling to Mendoza.
Happy to see Lord starting.
Just a little bit worried about our set piece defence if they attack down that left side and we have a defensive formation of Ioane/Clarke/Beauden. Yet to see that work at test level.
-
Gee, wasn't expecting that selection. A mix of new & new-ish guys (Lord, Narawa) and the old guard (BB & Clarke). Narawa not a surprise as Foster pegged him a few months back as a bolter but a second row without SW or BBBR was a surprise, at least SB will be able to lead I guess.
My only thoughts on Clarke and BB is hoping Foster is giving them a chance to shine. Possibly one last one.

Nah, throw 'em in the deep end..... :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
But seriously I'm Ok with the newbs as there's enough experience there.

We are down 3 2nd 5s - ALB, Havili and QT.
Ioane has played some 12 in his time so I guess he’s the back up.

Possibly, although as ACT Crusader* has pointed out, Rieko has played there.

@Victor-Meldrew thing is, a lot of that experience is not exactly the experience that is in top form.

Irrational conservatism

Loooool
Shit we have some average "elite" players these days
-
Well fuck. I know I said I expected BBBR or SW would be rested, but I did expect to see ONE of them on the bench at least. And if I have to suffer a Frizzle, then Paps, Cane and Ardie better play their arses off. Pleased for Narawa and Lord. Christie is still ginga. Meh.

Cheika won’t exactly be shitting himself ,

Most gutted for Stevenson, this was likely his biggest shot for time given he is only there as cover for Telea.
A few good calls otherwise, based on actual form, some on reputation, however tarnished.

Similar to laulala. Scott Barrett will really have to stand up, coles will have to niggle like a bastard, Jordie needs to stay on the pitch playing like last year, and I hope to god that BB and Clarke find some mojo.
Also go DMac
-
Weak defence down the left side in particular is a worry. RI And CC positional defensive work has not been great.. Usually saved by Reikos pace, but that's often after the damage has been done.
And I am also not convinced BB is a strong defensive 15.
Hope Lord has a good game, and Frizzel needs to show why he's even in the squad as SB can't do it on his own..Can see Pumas winning this one.
-
May not be team I would of picked, but no probs really, it's WC year, and we got Boks next week, so guess they want to look at a few thing? I a little surpised but pleased that Lord has got a start, makes sense to see how DMac goes running the ship too, no real big prob with a fairly heavy start for players who have not played for a few weeks, freshen up won't hurt them. Perhaps Stevenson may have been worth a look, but as he really only injury replacement for Telea who seems is close to right, maybe he will be out of squad nest week anyway.
-
Makes sense to see how D Mac runs the ship?? How many games do you think we have before the World Cup? If BB is a FB why wasn’t he playing there all SR. I get that some players need a rest, but this is a weird team. Ofa and Casey’s little brother should have been gone a long time ago. I think Fozzie is up to his same old tricks and we’re going to see the same old results. I would love to be proven wrong.
