Wales v All Blacks

KiwiMurph

Playing Clarke seems like an unnecessary risk.

At least 10/15 combo should be interesting to keep an eye on.

Old timers' day for ALB

I’m hoping Love and Jordan gel together nicely at the back. That’s our strongest back three IMO. Hope it fires.

I hope they play well enough to force the coaches to take a second look (I wish they'd played that back three months ago)

Well at least Sevu Reece isn’t… damnit!

Yep, especially considering our woeful high ball exploits this year.

ALB and Ioane the midfield…. Sevu on the bench. Wtf are we trying to achieve

Hopefully a last hoorah for these guys.

Ticking a box and getting everyone a game. At least Will Jordan is in his best position. Would rather see Tangitau wearing 14 though

Kirifi at 7!
ALB at 12!

Wales to win.

Giving Wales a collective orgasm.

I’m glad razor managed to get his 6 Crusaders on the bench. So inspiring

Worst ever All Blacks test team.

The injuries certainly limited the options in the 23 based on who was left in the squad.

That is the backline Cully was predicting, except Reece and Jordan swapping roles.

His way of saying goodbye?

Who leads the haka? Ioane?

That backline is a wasted opportunity for me. Looking forward to 2026, we aren’t going to learn anything useful from ALB and Rieko.

One could argue that it gives DMac a great chance to show at 10, and Love gets a go at 15 with experience all around, but hard to see anything done for cohesion.

And, if the backline DOES set the house on fire, where does that leave us going forward?

Give ourselves an uppercut and remind ourselves it’s only Wales

Two players that I would love to see in the ABs are Tangitau and Flanders. A fit Flanders is better than Parker IMO and Tangitau is just a gun, noting he has a bit to work on defensively.

I think this guy exists just to wind @Tim up

@Bovidae almost feels like they forgot to drop Reece from the squad back in October lol, he's getting himself a free cap this weekend hopefully it's his last
