All Blacks v France

@Mr-Fish said in All Blacks v France:
From Hansen's comments, it sounds like that's exactly what they're going to be doing.
Yeah - I wonder whether that's a bit of purposeful misinformation, or whether they're going "next man up!"
Looking forward to seeing the team!

@Crazy-Horse definitely still means something as far as set piece, very different defending openside to blindside
True, but Sititi is not unfamiliar with that role. They've asked a lot of the young fella so far, what's one more thing?
I still don't understand why he's not captain and calling the lineouts yet.

They're keeping that warm for Roigard

@Snowy I’m not a fan of Amashukeli. Thought he has looked a bit out of his depth.
I know he is still relatively new at test level but he seems a little gun shy to blow the whistle on obvious stuff.

On the plus side, he does like to keep the game moving and isn't card-happy.

Our forward pack is starting to look rather fearsome.
How the heck did we make it to here.It was always going that way once we got a better props in De Groot and Lomax. The fact that we have real depth now at prop is a great foundation to build a pack on. With Sititi coming out of nowhere and Holland on the horizon, the AB pack can become outstanding over the next 12-18 months
Add in Lakai for Cane and if he can make strides as fast as Wallace, we could be young and dynamic very quickly
Yeah I'd have Lakai on the bench against France. He can cover 6,7,8 if needed as well. He could be the perfect bench player for us over the next few seasons until Ardie's form drops right off and he takes his place.
A bench of forwards that include Aumua, Tu'ungafasi, Tosi, Tuipolotu and Lakai going forward is pretty damn impactful.

So he should start against France?

I'd love him to start. I mean Sititi took to international footy like a duck to water, I'm confident Lakai can do the same, he's physically capable of it.

Every time I see that name I automatically think of Emile.
I’ll never stop living in the 90s when it comes to music but I probably should when it comes to Rugby players if I’m going to make a meaningful contribution on here

When is the AB team announced?

Lakai looking likely to start.
-
Great to see Lakai in the mix. If they settle with him to start we will need him to play tighter than what he might normally do. France love the stuff around the fringes and that’s where Cane thrives and gets a lot of work done.
What Lakai will offer though is once he gets the ball in attack he will not be surprised!
-
Not hearing too much this week but will post what I have heard, none of it is really ground breaking stuff.
Told to expect not too much change other than Beaudy in for Perofeta(sounds like he will be on the bench) and Reece for Telea. As Canes posted above, Lakai training with the idea he’s starting 7.
All pretty obvious stuff I know but thought I’d share and will try find out more as per.

Last week I was told he has to earn his spot back with how well Williams and Ofa have been going which is only fair. Can’t be far from at least getting the spot back off Ofa you would think?
