All Blacks v France III
-
A pretty "B" looking starting XV.
If we were playing a RWC knock out match tomorrow and everyone was fit and in form, I think we'd field the below - with a caveat that I'm not entirely sure about how they'd deploy the locks/loosies. "A team" members in this current team bolded.
Williams, Taylor, Lomax, Barrett, Vai'i, Finau(??), Savea, Sititi, Roigard, Mo'unga, Clarke, JBarrett, Ioane, Reece, Jordan.

If you're going to include Mo'unga then surely you include Frizzell?

@Canes4life And Aaron Smith surely? And Ma'a Nonu for that matter?

Early onset is a bitch.

Love definitely has confidence, hopefully he can show that on Saturday night.

Love and Jordan together, how good.
Interesting though, didn't Jordan have a niggle this week? They could have brought in Narawa to start to make it an 'almost' Chiefs backline.

Just couldn't have a 23 without a Barrett
Shout out to Reiko for standing aside. The guy is a great team man.

I'd prefer Love and Dmac swapped positions. As Reece played left wing? TBH the way he gets around the field I'm not sure it will be that much of an adjustment.

Reece has played a lot of left wing in his career

I wouldn't be surprised if they did late in the game.
