I think Telea will be the only change unless there is an injury.
Depends on how Nugget is physically. Expect Roigard on the bench.
Why? Horse for courses??
As much as I want Roigard to be there, I also want Foster to commit to a reserve 9 - and if that’s Christie, then he should be on the bench again this week ahead of the (touch wood) final
Yup. He better stick to his convictions. If having a defensive edge is required for a quarter final, when you don't even give him any game time - then it sure as shit is required in a final if we make it. Wouldn't that be just great going into the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

Who do you want on the bench as Christie didn't play, so continuity isn't an issue? Roigard or Christie?

I literally just said Christie better be the halfback because we'd sure as shit need a defensive edge in the final and I don't want to be playing the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

@KiwiMurph if Fozbones had been coach he would've subbed Beauds and had DMac att halfback, to prove we can then have a DMac, ALB, LF bench.

Ah OK. You prefer Christie on the bench in tight games like Ireland and the Final (if we get there). Comprende

So I’ve got tickets for this! Taking my 11 year old daughter to her first AB rugby match. And most definitely not showing the wife the credit card bill.

It's a fucking world cup semi final
Play the top team and hope we are in a position to give guys an early mark

Yup same team, apart from telea, Leicester is defensive liability. I would have roigard on the bench, because he is better and if Christie wasn't good enough defensively to come on that last period against Ireland's then he has nothing to offer. If the game is in the bag early, then early subs

Gotta get the balance right between playing the same team and not knackering the likes of BBBR, Big Sam and Nugget.

Agree!
We should definitely be underdogs again...

Ioane is still a huge worry for me. World Cups are won with defence and he missed 5 out of 13 tackles against Ireland, covered up by outstanding defence by almost everyone else.

Wayne Smith never worried about missed tackle stats - there's more to it than that - someone who puts effort in, gets around teh field and slows someone down counts towards a 'miss'- but is really positive for the team.
I did see a very compressed midfield against Ireland, with heaps of space out wide - that's going to put Rieko into a situation where he's using speed to get out and cover. Suspect that may contribute to the stat. I'm struggling to recall many missed one on one tackles in the line.

Intriguingly when you watch it back, they left him at 13 when ALB came on. ALB largely played on the left wing, right until the end when Jordie was actually stationed out there.

Play Roigard. He was awesome against SA. Give him time against Argentina

I don't know if this is satire, but I'm going to lose my mind if people spend all week moaning about Roigard.
For right or for wrong they think Christie is their second best, and World Cup SFs aren't about giving people time. Smith will probably play 70 minutes minimum, unless we are up by like 20 with 20 to play, but I can't see that.
If it is one score, wouldn't be stunned to see Smith go the 80 again.
