As a point of principle I'd love to reject this as humour or provincialism.
But I am afraid I agree with you.
On the starting locks though I am concerned we are losing a bit of height. Darry might have been useful. Glad Wallace is at 8. Happy with a Crusaders front row. -

They obviously love Parker
Helps he looks suspiciously like Graham Henry .

This feels like a reckoning. You know how badly Rassie wants this. Surfboard Jesus needs to put his dick on the table.

or just sacrifice an apostle.

Who is going to take the high balls that come at us?
Is the answer 'a saffer'? Possibly!
I think Narawa provides a good foil for that or at least provides more cover if Will is going to attack the high ball.
I also expect to see a bit more of Beaudie dropping back.
For me it’s not so much as attacking the high ball with a bit more confidence, it’s more about what we are doing with the phase ball. Hope to see a return to Argentina I as opposed to the last test.

New move in the breakdance repertoire.

Not a bad plan to bring a fresh Holland on in the second half.

I was surprised at first but after giving it more thought it’s probably to add some grunt to that bench with patty unavailable

I think it’s a combination of Patty being unavailable and Holland’s game time to date. With Vaa’i, who is an 80 minute player we have options to see how the game is going and how we manage substitutions.

If the backs play poorly again it's time for a serious look in the mirror.
We can't just meander through 2025 if things aren't working. -

@ACT-Crusader strongest available scrummaging locks starting.

@W32 not with Faf looking fit as a fiddle.
Power and grace with a little verve thrown in.

Close, but not enough hair product.
