@nzzp A slightly more edgy, opinionated Captain would help.
One not afraid to headbutt Razor is kinda edgy.

Proctor hasn't done enough on attack to offset his weaker defence. Rieko the best defender, but his attack has been so underwhelming. ALB past it. Leaves Fainga'anuku or Tupaea. I'd go QT with Leicester on the bench.
Tupaea's defence against the Springboks in the wider channel was dreadful. There's no way he's an upgrade on Proctor. He's an option at 12.
And who seriously suggests Fainga'anuku? A bloke that couldn't cement a wing spot, leaves to become one of the worst defenders in Top14 is somehow now considered All Black level?
What’s the other option then? Ioane and Proctor both been underwhelming, and I just don’t see ALB as the solution.
Could JB shift to 13?
Jordan. Similar level of distribution, pace to cover the outside break while he learns the defensive reads and a strike runner. Kicking is about on par for a centre too.

You’d be pleased he’s not fullback either

posters on here are not edgy and opinionated enough?!

Kellaway is out with a calf injury
The Roar reporting that it will be a back 3 of Jorgensen Potter and Toole with JOC at 10 and Edmed on the bench.
That back 3 is a vulnerable. Potter isn’t a great defender.
JOC will get the team moving forward though
-
What have they done with the leaker ?
Don't they know how important it is for us to get the good oil early. -

Fuck. I like Kellaway.

Williams, Taylor, Newell, Barrett, Holland, Vaa’i, Savea, Parker
ST, EDG, Lomax, Tuipoluto, Sititi/Lakai
I don't think Parker is a great option at 8.
I'd probably pick Jacobson or Sititi to play 8 and put Parker on the bench if Vaa'i is playing 6.
I get the argument that Sititi and Ardie are a bit same-same, but they worked OK at 6/8 last year, so maybe they can be melded at 7/8.

A bunch of ABs back.
Several Wallabies out.
Eden Park Hoodoo.
Zero chance of getting the Bledisloe back.
Hope you're right.
We've suffered quite a bit this year, already - and we're not as practiced at it as you guys!
Give us another couple of years before sticking that Bled knife in!

Maybe they can, but I'd dispute that they worked well together last year. They both (particularly Sititi) did some good stuff individually, but our loosies as a unit were consistently 2nd best - so if you think those two were good together, that seems a lot of blame to heap on one other guy - who wasn't always the same guy either.
And they were well outplayed last week, with the other loosie being somebody who didn't play at all last year.
If Sititi were playing as well as last year individually, I think him plus Vaai plus either Dalton or Ethan would work, with Ardie on the bench. But he's not. Last year we had no size, this year we have no workers. -

If you’re saying that’s the backline, that’s incorrect.
I won’t be posting this week as the leaks over the last few weeks got a bit crazy and I got asked if I was sharing the info.
I'm going to see if something still gets leaked on Facebook etc even if I don't post the backline. The Myth of Dmac page for example seemed to post not long after I had shared the info.
May seem silly to some but if I want to keep getting the inside oil I’ll tone it back this week so we can try keep the inside scoop long term. Apologies.

@Landers92 we could develop a secret code for you, she'll be right.
