All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I

[NTA]

@Chris-B TBH I think this year was our best chance IF we could get the best team on the park, including Skelton.

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.

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.

Bro I read and watch heaps of spy shit, I know how espionage works.

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

[Torian]

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

[pakman]

Tough on Holland. About time Lakai got a shot.

[Mr Fish]

@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.

[ARHS]

Thought they might play Jacobson on bench to add to leadership at the end, and thought Procter might be rested. Otherwise it all looks pretty sound to me if that is the team.

Gregor Paul's predicted team:

15: Will Jordan, 14: Caleb Clarke, 13: Anton Lienert-Brown, 12: Jordie Barrett, 11: Leroy Carter, 10: Beauden Barrett, 9: Cameron Roigard, 8: Ardie Savea, 7: Du’Plessis Kirifi, 6: Tupou Vaa’i, 5: Fabian Holland, 4: Scott Barrett, 3: Tyrel Lomax, 2: Codie Taylor, 1: Ethan de Groot.

16: Samisoni Taukei’aho, 17: Tamaiti Williams, 18: Fletcher Newell, 19: Wallace Sititi, 20: Simon Parker, 21: Cortez Ratima, 22: Damian McKenzie, 23: Leicester Fainga’anuku.

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.

[pakman]

Hinton is picking Clarke and suggesting Leicester will be in 23.

[george33]

Jamie Wall has said Leicester has had his eligibility rushed thru so if correct he must be in 23 , my understanding was that he would only be made available if injury to our midfield and wings was severe.

[Chris B.]

Leicester isn't in the Ta$man team for Friday night's game, so seems possible he's in the frame.

[pakman]

No ALB in Waikato 23.

[taniwharugby]

Seems alot not involved, guess those in camp have been pulled from npc: Clarke, Carter, Reece, Leicester, Reiko, ALB, Tupaea, Proctor.

They can't all be named...
