All Blacks vs Ireland

Actually Im not a BB fan and I prefer Dmac to start and BB to bench as I also believe BB plays better off the bench
I would like Sititi to start at 8 and Savea on the bench ( not necessarily to replace Sititi ...maybe at 7)
The player i had mentioned was only Roigard who at this time I think is better off the bench rather than starting... my opinion - his strength and pace v tiring forwards can change the game.
That is right now... not next year or WC -
@kidcalder I don't think that's the case at all. Pretty bizarre selecting a poor player to start, just so the guy that replaces him is better.

For me, it's more a horses for courses situation. Unfortunately we can't replay the match all over again, changing the starters around to see how they would have reacted in the reverse roles

Halfback is not a position which it matters so much to have impact as the forwards. (such as bringing on Patty T)
Provided the halfback is fit enough to play the style, you can keep him on for as long as you need, especially if he's superior to the other option - as we did with Aaron Smith.
I'd say you start Roigard, and replace him if he begins to fade.

Actually next year off the bench Gotham's sheer pace could be a weapon and I like a bit of R &R as well

We sure could use a superhero or two for this game.

Ireland, as number 1 side in the world and playing at home, are rightly the bookmakers' favourite to win this one. Form suggests they will win too. Can the All Blacks create an upset?

Yes Gotham would be ideal as a pace changer impact player
What? The Dark Knight?

I meant to spell Hotham but he moves too fast for me to get to the H. .

Barring injury, think there'll be little change from the team that played England. Maybe TJP ahead of Ratima. and Roigard to start.

Exceot Hotham doesn't have sheer pace. He's not slow, but speed isn't one of his assets.

Well that try was nice at any rate.
