The selectors continue to be as conservative and boring as possible.

Reiko 13 Tupea 12 after 40 depending on situation.
Your guess or a source says?

Simon Parker looking likely for his debut is the other thing im being told to expect
Parker to debut. Williams and Sititi back.

Robertson"s selections continue to annoy me. Conservative selections are great if the team is going well, as in 2010-2016, but he could at least have changed the bench half back. Against who should a hb rather debut than Argies?

It could be that they want Christie to have max minutes (shudder) because they don't see either Roigard or Hotham being available. I agree they are being too conservative.
Chrsitie sucks and it's actually more risky continuing to play him rather than Preston. -

23. TupaeaChristie is a crap selection.
I'd love to see Ruben Love and Leroy Carter given some game time. Not sold on BB over DMac.
Of that backline only Jordie Barrett and Will Jordan have been world class or anything like it in the four Tests so far this year.
A better performance from the backs heading into the Springboks test is essential.

I tend to think this is the view.
Hotham has already been ruled out for a few more games I'm sure and with a foot fracture it's highly likely Roigard is unavailable for Eden Park.
