-
That quarter final is still some time away, that will be their priority with frizzel and Brodie I would imagine and not risk any setbacks

Two under cooked forwards in a crucial quarter final. What could possibly go wrong?

@Crazy-Horse
we can play 5 wingers in the QF though that is a bonus. -

“All Blacks counter Boks bomb squad with flying wing bench attack”

De Groot, Taylor, Laulala, Whitelock, S Barrett, Frizell, Cane, Savea, A. Smith, Mo’unga, Fainga’anuku, J. Barrett, R. Ioane, M.Telea, W.Jordan
Bench: Coles, Ofa T, Newell, Vai’i, Papalii, Roigard, B.Barrett, ALB.
Massive moment for France. First game of a World Cup in their country in their home stadium with their President there and with a home Olympics around the corner.
I hope the All Blacks are going to abandon all the “being too nice” shit and are going to enjoy being massive party poopers at Stade de France. No excuses! Go Black!

I take it this is what you would play, rather than what you think will.
Team naming must be soon...
