Wales v All Blacks
-
Make wholesale changes and we learn nothing. Keep the changes to a reasonable number so we can see what the changes actually do.
I'd like to see the tight 5 basically remain the same (Holland back in for Lord), but with Taylor to the bench and Samisoni to start and give 30 mins of hard carries.
Loosies Savea out for Sititi.
BB right out for McKenzie with Love to fullback and Jordan to the wing. LF to the bench. -

Oh good, a club level at best ref.
She'll be better than the terrible ref we had yesterday. (Setting a low bar).
Maybe, but only in the bits where she can keep up.
If we start Reece, Hollie will have to slow herself down to adjust

They'll be disjointed as fuck and we'll learn nothing from a stuttering performance.
The coaching group or the players?

@pakman That team is probably not too far away.
I reckon it's more likely DMac will play 10 and Love 15.
Not sure how they will use the props (and hookers), but I'd expect these to be the four (and two).
I'd probably go the way you have and have some cavalry on the bench in case of the newbies shitting the bed.
-
I'd like to see some Love at 10 at some point rather than 15. What a shame Narawa is injured, I reckon he'd go ok at 15 (or maybe ENS-lost opportunity to be in the squad).

Roof will be on
Every point scored against NZ will be roared on like we’re shagging the best looking girl in the bar
Every point conceded won’t matter because we’re chatting up the best looking girl in the bar
A fantastic day in store
You better hope there are some foreign women in town bro.

@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.
We wouldn't lose to Wales even if Scott Barrett got a permanent red.
Hoping I can use this on Saturday

I could only find that scenario coming true amusing

I was thinking the same but then remembered we couldn't even break down a 13 man Japan side last weekend.

@sparky at first five or fullback?
Personally I'd like him at 15. I want to see if he can form a better back 3 with Clarke and Jordan as wingers (obviously CC won't be there this time)
Assuming Cam can't play I'd put out
Ratima, DMac, Tangitau, QT, Ioane, Love, Jordan
-
@Bovidae said in Wales Vs All Blacks:
@cgrant No Ioane or Bell in the 23?
While I wouldn't be surprised if some players in the squad don't play on this tour, and said as much, you would hope those who have only been holding tackle bags get an opportunity to play.
Too late for that for me, guys should have had an opportunity earlier.
Giving guys a participation run in our last game is not something we can afford to do when we are doing so much badly, it will just be yet another missed opportunity to fix things and see how a few new guys go in the A team structure (if that exists).
