<p>Wales are a team of quality players, they will present the ABs with a stern test, and our boys will need to be on top form if they are to meet the challenge they present.</p> -

<p>Actually pick a combined 15, mine would be the All Blacks apart from Roberts, North and AWJ in for Crotty, Naholo and Romano. Warburton and Cane are a coin toss.</p>

<p>That was fun.</p>

<p>What if Naholo had dreadlocks though?</p> -

<p>Imagine selection of Moody to start is in response to expectation that Wales front row will be full on. Crockett and Charlie come in once leekmuncher legs are tired. Has Taminavulu played wing at high level? If not, then straight cover for midfield.</p>

<p>Tamanivalu played on the wing in his first two seasons with Taranaki, but he looked pretty flaky out there.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>All All Blacks, except for Wyn Jones instead of Romano, and Roberts instead of Crotty. And Ardie would be 7 ahead of Cane and Warburton</p> -

<p>If only games were decided by Walesonline pre-game player ratings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Instead of a 34 point historical headstart, NZ is only marginally better, and Faletau is a better player than Read...</p> -

<p>Nice of them to point out where some of our players were born. Can only assume the Welsh team are entirely Welsh born and bred.</p> -

Ha indeed. I can understand mentioning Naholo's origin but when you have a very limited number of words it just seems weird to dedicate a bunch to Kaino's birthplace. -

This was the worst rugby read i've had in a while. <br><br>
Faletau better than Read? :::::::D<br>
in all honesty Faletau is a very good player in his own right but Read is one of the most complete players running around and undisputedly the best number 8 in the world. -

<p>The article is poor- but I don't mind Read's rating too much. They point out he hasn't been at the peak of his powers in the past year, which is accurate. I would take Read over Faletau all day knowing his ceiling and the extenuating factors over the past 18 months - but if you are wanting to write an article like this 8 is a fair rating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Faletau having the same rating as Ben Smith & Brodie Rettalick is what is laughable.</p>
