How does a fixture on a neutral field that doesn't meet the minimum requirements set down in the laws qualify as part of a Grand Slam?
The Grand Slam Rules require a specific dimension?
Where are these Grand Slam rules codified?

No, my point was twofold:
- The field doesn't met the required dimensions.
- My expectation is playing them at their home while we're not playing at ours.

Richard Knowler at Stuff suggests that this will be the All Blacks team.
Proctor starting at centre ahead of Tupaea would surprise me. I'd have Billy on the bench.
Most of the rest looks close - might not be exact, but close.
@Chris-B I’d have QT start at centre and Ioane on the bench (because it’s Ireland!)
Beaudie gummon man????
I’d also give Jacobson a spot, might as well give him a game whilst he’s fit.

I agree entirely with Eddie's verdict here... and think England will pose a much bigger threat to the Grand Slam.

Look, on paper
That is a desperately average all blacks side.
Fuck me, how did we sink to this 15? Look at that loose forward trio FFS.
It's just so very meh -

Ireland must be pretty bad for everyone to be writing them off against such an inconsistent team as ours .

Geez I will have to reread all the posts, I haven't noticed anyone writing off the Irish. See a few thinking we will win, but hardly writing Irish off. And a some of that may or may not because the Irish team are basically in first test since 6Ns.

Yeah feels like Chicago 1

Given the narrow/small dimensions of the pitch (I believe Solider Field actually does't meet the required dimensions of a field but receives an exemption?) I wouldn't mind Leicester getting another start - his power could be particularly useful.

Agreed. Id be going for the hammer over the scalpel myself.
Caleb 11
Jordie 12
Tupea 13
Leicester 14All the backline fatties.
Will Jordan at the back looking good for the cameras.

It'll be interesting who they go with at centre. Tupaea should be starting given how well he played in Perth and the fact that Proctor hasn't been as good as we'd all like but Robertson did say Proctor was only being rested for that match.

Razor being Razor I think Proctor is a shoe in to start

When's the team named?
@Victor-Meldrew think they gonna do it in the changing sheds 10 mins before k/o, keep everyone guessing, although I think we know BB will be starting!
