    @voodoo although would he want that, kinda taking attention form the team? Plus, he'd get one when he came on.

    He'll get an ovation no matter what...I think giving Cam a start is in best interests of ABS, and him finishing the game at his 'spiritual home' is better...

    as long as he doesn't take a conversion, I'll be happy with whatever

    There's no real need to play Christie in the game. Play Smith & Roigard again.

    @KiwiMurph 100%...getting a rock solid combo with those two starting/finishing games is what we want...christie is just the "cover"

    I'm tipping A Smith to start and be captain. Give Cane the time he needs, no point rushing the neck. I'd go for Finau, Papalii and Jacobson.

    Stevenson

    Am I missing something again? I've seen a couple of people suggest Stevenson. I thought he was long gone?

    He's returned to the squad due to Narawa's back injury. He was in Melb last week.

    @Bones He’s been training with the squad to cover Narawa

    I can't see him making it, unless they drop Leicester. He will have to wait for his chance under Razor now

    Yep which is unfortunate but a testament to the depth we have in the outside backs. Dropping Leicester (unless he's unavailable due to injury) would be really tough given he hasn't had a chance to play.

    LF is available this week, but the fact he is leaving could count against him in a close selection decision.

    I hope not. Foster is out after the cup, so it doesn't matter what happens after. Pick the side you think gives you the best chance to win and go for it

    Nah. Aussies have played pretty well under the roof in times past. We lost our last test there too.

    I would think the fact the WC squad is named on Monday works in LF's chances of getting a game, so he can be looked at.

    @Dan54 I think the decision has been made... and it may be that they pick LF, but I can't see it.

    @frugby Hard to say given Leicester has been injured. They did include him in the squad proper so he's in the frame. A storming game on Saturday could see him in the RWC squad.

    @ACT-Crusader Which says the All Blacks will want to make amends for that, particularly with so many players having their last game at home.

    @KiwiMurph This is my point though. They'll have already decided one way or another - and it is entirely possible that they take Telea, Clarke and Fainga'anuku.

    And of course, they might have decided on 33 players on the assumption Blackadder, Cane, Narawa, Havili etc. prove fitness.

    Considering Sevu Reece seems to be with the team at the moment, wonder if we'll see Havili and Blackadder pop up in some training photos?
