Wales v All Blacks
-
@Kiwiwomble If they do go with their ‘top’ team, I wonder if it’d be better to lose and hopefully force change. It’d be another rubbish record to break and would lessen the team’s reputation even further and might not lead to any change anyway but it could be for the best in the long run.

Burn it down mate, burn it to the ground

@ShaquilleOatmeal in the past i would have thought the same but we've had a few games we "should" have won and didn't now...now i think they honestly see a lost to England and say..."we cant possibly run out young or inepxerienced guys....if a team with the 2016 world player fo the year cant win no one can"

i worry theyre afraid now.....and they pick a conservative team to gaurantee a good win...so all the same old faces....and they wont realise it would mean nothing, a loss with all new faces would tell us more thanexperiecned players winning a game they should win....
Afraid of what? What more could happen between now and the naming of the side on Thursday that hasn’t in the last 24-36 hours?
There aren’t too many that haven’t played so I expect to see them plus a few more that have been used sparingly.
Not sure about the status of Holland and Ioane.

@ACT-Crusader afraid of losing to wales...and that BB, Savea etc just had a bad one....and selecting them again will guarantee a win
i honestly think it more likely havili, christie and the like are more likely to be parachuted in than real, wholesale change...seriously...we're all expecting reece aren't we?
-
@Kiwiwomble shouldn't be Reece, a coach with long term vision would make sure to blood in Tangitau or Nanai-Seturo in a week like this, heck I'm pretty sure Ben smith with only a handful of super games made his debut on a northern tour sigh I miss Ted
-
@Grooter oh....i ageed 100%....but i have no faith razor does, i think they believe someone good from 10 years ago is more likely to regain their spark than someone on current hot form at a lower level will step up...experience...even experience at losing trumps all
-
To sum up the 2 years in charge, I think we pick largely the same side with a few more old heads to come in and we walk away with our usual mediocre 29-18 win like we always do against mediocre opposition.

@Kiwiwomble Razor himself straight up said there will be changes, so I'll take him at face value.

Purposeful changes, otherwise what's the point?

He also said the changes were always planned if I heard right.

Yep, this is the week where he trots out reward caps to the lesser squad members after his A team have covered themselves in glory beating all-comers and ensuring a grand slam.
Yuck. -

Yuck.GH and Hansen knew the team couldn't maintain max performance for three matches in a row.

Regardless of selection, losing to Wales would be a fucking abomination. I think we could seriously expect a new coach by Xmas.

I was asking about the earthquake in Groningen.
That was Foster's fault.

The Rassie approach:
Bower/Bell/Mafileo/Lakai/Barrett/Darry/Parker/Sititi
Christie/Love/Clarke/Tupaea/Proctor/Jordan/DMacWilliams/Sami/Tosi/Holland (if fit or Lord)/RD
Ratima/Leicester/RiekoBench pack on by 50.
Certainly is innovative throwing a loosie many think is too small at lock when you've got a lock on the blindside.
Not sure Williams has been practicing his throwing either, while Taukieaho might struggle at loosehead.
