    If they start Sotutu at 8 would that open up the bench for a "utility" loosie like Jacobson or Blackadder?

                @BerniesCorner We're a bit short at Lock, Blind Side Flanker and First Five but we have two or three excellent options everywhere else.

                Defence looks better than four years ago.

                That backline is pretty frightening if they're given enough fast, clean ball.

                The set piece will need to deliver.

                  @Tim There's a Dad's Army feel to that England front row. They will be puffing by 15 minutes. The rest of their team looks sharp though.

                    Yeah it wasn't so long ago we couldn't find a prop, flanker, mid field.

                    Having Savea , Sotutu and Sititi competing for 8 is ludicrous.
                    Roigard-DMac would give Dupont-Ntamack a good run for your money.

                          @BerniesCorner Weird to think that at least one of Sotutu or Sititi won't be in the 23.

                                @mariner4life I can't think of any reason why Telea wouldn't even make a 23.

                                  All Blacks burning questions: Who’s left standing at lock and how to use Beauden Barrett?

                                  This was obviously written before the second semi-final.

                                    Here's hoping the new regime don't leak absolutely everything to the press, the way Foster did to certain client journalists.

                                          All Blacks burning questions: Who’s left standing at lock and how to use Beauden Barrett?

                                          This was obviously written before the second semi-final.

                                          @Tim Weird that they think Sam Whitelock might get a call up when he's said that he's definitely hanged up booots.
