He didn’t. But I will go as far as saying, I wouldn’t select one Springbok, Puma or Wallaby in a combined RC XV.
Puma captain and former Crusader might make the bench….

@pakman Must be geo-blocked as it isn't behind a paywall.
Cheers @Bovidae . I imagine that will be within two of actual team.
Please no ALB or Christie. both are well past it.

I think Christie is a necessity given where we are at with halfbacks, but they can easily select Quinn for the bench back spot.

Wouldn't that be 2 injuries away? Vaai can shift to 6 and Holland can come on at lock

Which presupposes the coaches are smart enough to consider that. And that just creates another problem to be managed.
TBH I'm resigned to the Eden Park fortress being sacked. And immediately after Razor's assistants are moved on.

Lowering expectations to rock bottom.
Smart psychological ploy. -
9 & 11 give me concerns.
Rieko will need to improve 1000% under the high balls.... As they will be coming his way.
Bench looking good.
-
Dalton P' or Lakai on the bench would look stronger IMO. Apart from that, hefty bench, hope they provide impact (effectively).

It's fairly likely they play the last 20-30 minutes with Savea, Kirifi and Vaa'i fatigued from the first three quarters of the game and then being asked to cover more ground.
-
Christie played well last game.
We need to keep things simple. Plenty of pick n goes. No dinks, no shovelling the ball along backline. -

Blackadder would fit into that bench perfectly in place of Kirifi…
Believe it or not he’s actually injured and out for the remainder of the season. Baffling I know
