Kellaway is out with a calf injury
The Roar reporting that it will be a back 3 of Jorgensen Potter and Toole with JOC at 10 and Edmed on the bench.

That back 3 is a vulnerable. Potter isn’t a great defender.
JOC will get the team moving forward though

Fuck. I like Kellaway.

I think it is fairly odd that the All Blacks went away from starting Fabian Holland. Set piece excelled with him there, he simply dominates the air and does the dirty work well. IMO, it should always be Holland/Darry + Vaa'i/Barrett/Tuipulotu.
Razor has to make a statement - does he have the balls to drop Scooter? The obvious team on form this week has Holland, Vaa'i, Parker with Tuipulotu on the bench for me.
If there is a big call to be made in the loose forwards, I hope it is Lakai they go to. Kirifi doesn't move the needle for me. I'm happy with Ardie and Wallace, so he slots onto the bench.
Vaa’i’s form was terrible on the weekend. Missed some crucial clean outs, was at sea in D and had very little impact in the tight. If he plays, he should be at 6.
Kirifi missing wouldn’t be a big call IMO. A big call is leaving Ardie out (don’t think it will happen) or Sititi, which I wouldn’t mind.
I think we need to play with more size against the Aussies. Hit them in close.
Williams, Taylor, Newell, Barrett, Holland, Vaa’i, Savea, Parker
ST, EDG, Lomax, Tuipoluto, Sititi/Lakai

I don't think Parker is a great option at 8.
I'd probably pick Jacobson or Sititi to play 8 and put Parker on the bench if Vaa'i is playing 6.
I get the argument that Sititi and Ardie are a bit same-same, but they worked OK at 6/8 last year, so maybe they can be melded at 7/8.

A bunch of ABs back.
Several Wallabies out.
Eden Park Hoodoo.
Zero chance of getting the Bledisloe back.

Hope you're right.
We've suffered quite a bit this year, already - and we're not as practiced at it as you guys!
Give us another couple of years before sticking that Bled knife in!

Maybe they can, but I'd dispute that they worked well together last year. They both (particularly Sititi) did some good stuff individually, but our loosies as a unit were consistently 2nd best - so if you think those two were good together, that seems a lot of blame to heap on one other guy - who wasn't always the same guy either.
And they were well outplayed last week, with the other loosie being somebody who didn't play at all last year.
If Sititi were playing as well as last year individually, I think him plus Vaai plus either Dalton or Ethan would work, with Ardie on the bench. But he's not. Last year we had no size, this year we have no workers. -

If you’re saying that’s the backline, that’s incorrect.
I won’t be posting this week as the leaks over the last few weeks got a bit crazy and I got asked if I was sharing the info.
I'm going to see if something still gets leaked on Facebook etc even if I don't post the backline. The Myth of Dmac page for example seemed to post not long after I had shared the info.
May seem silly to some but if I want to keep getting the inside oil I’ll tone it back this week so we can try keep the inside scoop long term. Apologies.

@Landers92 we could develop a secret code for you, she'll be right.

@kidcalder interesting predictions If they ain't gonna use the big Dutchman against Aussie I demand he be released for Otago come playoffs time

@kidcalder said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:
That's more or less the side I'm expecting too. Surely by now Razor will go for either Lakai or Jacobson on the bench ahead of Kirifi.

So a has been at 13, a back row with a lock at 6 and two midgets at 7 and 8 after banging on all year about size, a lock that’s let in two tires in a row, two props a that have been taken to town by the Bok scrum? The one loose forward that actually hits rucks on the bench?
I thought selections were supposed to reward performance?

Not what I think they will pick but more what I would/think should be selected based on the squad (except Narawa who is not fit).
As an aside, at least 4 changes I’m hearing.

Maybe if you could post who is not in the backline then we could deduce the rest for ourselves.
