Italy v All Blacks

[Mr Fish]

Word is Stephen P at 10, Ruben Love and Fabian Holland both starting.

So not exactly the top team.

And some skulldugery at 6.

I'm guessing Scott Barrett potentially? But basically anyone bar Sititi is going to be a bit of a square peg in a round hole.

I’d quite like to see:

EDG/Aumua/Newell/Paddy T/Vaa’i/RD/Barrett (S)/Sititi/Roigard/BB/Lam/ALB/Jordan/Rieko/Perofeta

Bench T’Mighty/Bell/Tosi/Lakai/Lord/Ratima/DMac/Love

Barrett at 6?

One good thing about this tour , the viewing times have been mostly pretty friendly.

I know it's only Italy but we need Ruben Love to have a blinder. I think our best back three going forward is 11. Clarke 14. Jordan and 15. Love. Love just needs more opportunity to prove himself.

Just needs A chance to prove himself. Not just junk minutes against lower lights like Japan. This will be a more serious test, hopefully he can showcase what he's got

Interesting. We are hearing different things.

I haven’t been able to get the line up but told there won’t be anything too crazy happening. Hope that’s wrong, would love to see some change in the backs where possible.

Upvote for the Intel, a shame if they don't at least try one or two guys

Looks like they'll give TJ and Cane some time, farewell match and all that.

Ugh. Cane had his farewell, a win away against Ireland. Ratima and Roigard both have things to work on.

Also heard Cane starting, TJ not.

[Bovidae]

Back to their preferred loose forward trio. Reece doesn't deserve to start.

Should also caveat my info with the fact I've got no past experience with my source so take with a grain of salt...
