The media is hammering the loss of Beauden Barrett and virtually what a tragedy it is.
Do they really not watch games it is a blessing in disguise.Not even very well disguised if you ask me.
It’s incredible really.
The chap is a handbrake.

I saw this photo the other day from the EP Bledisloe test. Flat footed, not looking at the line, front rower standing deep behind the line as well

It’s a weird scenario with so many Allblacks supporters ( not just here ) predicting a loss against a team ranked much lower than us .
Usually we can be accused of being overconfident and arrogant, but the self belief with supporters has hit rock bottom.
We are gun shy from the top down.
Our CEO was/is gun shy.
Our coach is gun shy.
Our 10 is gun shy.
Our captain is gun shy.
There are an ever increasing number of players who deserved a decent shot and weren’t really given one…Fakatava, Stevenson, Sotutu, Laumape, AJ Lam. To an extent Ruben Love and Tavatavanawai are in that bracket now.
There are/will be way more Allblack centurions than there should be…

There's a few who could hit that milestone next year if the selection process continues as it has

The west coast is rather large.
WA is bigger than Texas!
bigger than Texas and Alaska put together..
Perth to Broome, much further than London to Moscow
WA, much bigger than all those puny little European countries.

McDermott going to need surgery on his hamstring - out for a while it seems
It's a bugger for him NTA. I could almost feel his hammy ripping as his legs spreadeagled on Saturday What is it with halfbacks this year for Wallabies and ABs?

Suspect Ioane will come onto the pine in place of Tupaea if there's any concern around Clarke's fitness.
Didn't Tupaea come on as a wing on the weekend and handle himself well? I don't see the need for the change.

I think the setup was Jordie moving to fullback with Jordan and Carter on the wing
QT and Proctor midfield.

It makes for good discussion every week, to be honest. Thanks, btw.
It would be nice if everyone here kept that point in mind, and that the sauce and discussion stays here, so that we can do it every week.
I'll start the speculation. Have they decided to give Love a chance? That for me seems the key - whether he is just on the bench or whether they start him at 10 or 15.
-
From what I’ve heard so far, it will bring a lot of conversation and talking points. Should make for an interesting thread to read this week.

I think it's probably better to ease him in off the bench.
You can't hurry love.

No time like the present mate, get him out there. We already know what Beaudy and DMac can do.

Had to ask if I was having my leg pulled… hope I’m not so apologies in advance if it isn’t correct. Usual contact so have no reason to believe it isn’t correct. Maybe I’m just a little surprised due to a certain name on the wing(which should bring some interesting opinions).
- Roigard
- Dmac
- Faingaʻanuku
- J. Barrett
- Tupaea
- L. Carter
- Jordan
Bench
21. Ratima
22. Ioane

I assume Clarke is out hurt? Tupaea played well when he came on, Proctor has failed to grab his opportunities as yet. Reiko on the bench is solid (good cover in MF, but no gas at wing).
Leicester gets his chance as soon as Razor could get him in, time to silence the Fern's sceptics (or not)
