Wow. Proctor must really have needed a decent rest.

Am.i wrong in being worried about the selections at 11 and 13 on the basis that Tupaea normally never plays the 80 for the ABs and Clarke didn't at Eden Park.....
Leicester Fainga'anuku is on the bench of course but one way or the other one of Tupaea or Clarke is gonna have to go the distance.
Maybe I'm overthinking it but would it have been better to start Fainga'anuku and have one of QT or Clarke on the bench?
I guess they are fully confident in Clarkes fitness.

Jordan can go to the wing when McKenzie comes on.

Beauden Barrett has kompromat on someone.
I'm pretty sure every loss we have suffered to Ireland he has been the starting 10
someone will fact check this and hopefully tell me I'm wrong -

A couple of question marks in your team Vic.
Can Roigard and Will Jordan?
Answer: They'd better!!!

@frugby granted he has had alot of injury concerns, but Lord just hasnt kicked on as you'd have hoped he would, mind you, we have had plenty of issues with other players not kicking on in recent years I guess.
