Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11

@bayimports I’d be surprised to see Ofa starting. Also I get the sense that one of the newbies will debut as a starter, hence Clarke in mine.
The midfield....should be renamed the minefield given its been the biggest merry go round for the last 4 years.
It wouldn’t surprise me if any of these were named:
ALB / Ioane
Goodhue / Ioane
ALB / Goodhue@ACT-Crusader well we went through something similar before we settled on Nonu-Conrad, so hopefully we are getting close

Moody, Taylor, Tuungafasi, Tuipulotu, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane (cpt), Savea, Smith, Mounga, Bridge, Goodhue, Ioane, J.Barrett, B.Barrett.
Moody, Taylor, Laulala, Tuipulotu, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane, Savea, Smith, B.Barrett, Clarke, ALB, Ioane, Reece, J.Barrett
This is close to what I am expecting although the 1st 5, right winger and fullback positions appear to be the most contentious, based on the cryptic comments by Plumtree.

Given there are so many options and all bring something different, it will be interesting calls to make.
Does Fozzie go with...
10- B. Barrett
14- J. Barrett
15- DMac -

15- DMacI'd be very surprised with specialist wingers in the squad. I'm expecting one of BB, Mo'unga or JB to miss out in the starting XV. Anyones guess who that will be at this stage.

Anyone want a bet this is starting XV?
Moody, Taylor, Tuungafasi, Tuipulotu, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane (cpt), Savea, Smith, Mounga, Bridge, Goodhue, Ioane, J.Barrett, B.Barrett.
Let’s just say not my pick, but wouldn’t bet against it

Distinct lack of firepower on the wings

If they are selected, what’s not in doubt is that both know how to find the try line

Continuity mother fuckers. Can't risk shit in your first test. Pick the same players i helped pick last year. We'll just do the same shit a little bit better and we'll be fine.

if I had a shot for every time Nisbo has said that I'd be dead of acute alcohol poisoning.
At least Ken "second man play" Laban is self effacing when he says that line repeatedly.

Agree continuity even if it has been 11 months. This is the Bledislie after all and want to be one up going into the second game. Number 11 the only concern but we can toss that bridge when we get toit

I'll put this down to mind games. You'd hope they're focusing on themselves. Has the Wallabies scrum coach managed to get into the country yet? The last I heard he was s till stuck overseas.
