All Blacks vs England I

Interesting that the last 4 red cards by an All Black are
Ofa - Blues
Scooter - Saders
Jordie - Canes
Cane - ChiefsThis is in no way an endorsement of selecting more Highlander players

I think it’s a good reason not to select Beauden Barrett and why he’s on the bench. Brain fades tend to run in the family

I like Razor having a proper press conference with journos on team naming and not a premade internally produced video.
Good shit

Yup me too, love it. Hope it continues.

Pretty similar to a Foster team IMO, understandable with the short lead up but still feels a bit meh.
Hope to see a better game plan, but I suspect we are going to see kick and hope, and tackle the counter attack.

No unexpected. And BB would have probably got the nod over Perofeta if he'd played some more competitive rugby recently.

Just hope we don't get the same appallingly bad forwards performance we saw the last time we played England.

That's been the standard for many years? Foster and co did the exact same thing.

@Kirwan pretty similar to foster because they’re the best players in the country.
He can’t just pluck All blacks out of thin air.
The only real contentious positions are Halfback and fullback. Roigard and Jordan would be there if fit.@chchfanatic said in All Blacks vs England I:

I wouldn’t have gone with TJ either, or Perofeta. DMac may be the best ten in NZ but not convinced about him yet. Feels like an impact player to me.
So meh.

And Ardie? If Perofeta gets in over BB for that reason, why isn’t Sititi starting? If he’s not ready to start, why didn’t they pick Sotutu.

Beauden's yellow card was the turning point in the last game.

Beauden's yellow card was the turning point in the last game.
In hindsight Beaudie taking the drop goal 3 wasn't the best option either in that game. The issue with taking 3 in that scenario is with the kick off you end up back in your own half from the following restart. Would have been better off keeping England pinned back in their own half.

Robertson's rolled the dice with Scooter in that regard. Could be the making of him though.

Experience, I'd suggest. SP has been around the AB's for some time and Wallace hasn't. It'd be a bit weird if he's doesn't get a cap in the next two Tests though.

For to even be in the environment is very interesting to say the least…
@Landers92 understand Haig being there. Unsure about Gilbert

I love we are talking about Finau's mythical red card risk compared to, say, the very real red card risk of the fucking captain? Fucking cantabs circling the wagons, and whiny 'canes fans.
Though, after Jacobson got car5ded because he tackled with force, maybe you whiny bitches are right, and rugby really is a game for faeries now.

we live in debauched, effeminate times. Gone are the days when you only got red for having the temerity to be the best player on a team that was beating the ABs AND you laid the (legal) tackle of the decade on the AB ten.

My first thoughts , not a lot different to what fozzie would’ve picked.
I suppose when razor sprinkles his magic dust over them it will look much different.
it's a very "balanced" team, so no obvious pointers to a way they will look to play.
And in reality, there aren't THAT many ways to play test rugby anyway.

He only got a yellow for that. The red came for his karate chop to a throat
@DaGrubster must be piss easy to get a black belt in NZ/France.
