Wales v All Blacks
-
@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.

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

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.

@sparky maybe they did, but in NZ with current NZ strains?
That's exactly how flu jabs in the UK work, based on flus in the southern hemisphere!

We wouldn't lose to Wales even if Scott Barrett got a permanent red.
