Pumas v All Blacks

@taniwharugby said in Pumas v All Blacks:
@Stargazer it's in the article you posted
"Having already won the Rugby Championship title with two games remaining, the All Blacks fly out for Buenos Aires on Friday to prepare for their next test against the Pumas on October 2, followed by their final game of the tournament against South Africa in Durban a week later."
Ah, yes, that indeed answers my second question. I knew I should have read that article again!
-
I know DMac is going and expect him to get a trot
-
@WillieTheWaiter I'm not so sure.
Listening to Grant Fox before the Hamilton game and he implied it would be the EOYT when DMac gets his run.Looking forward to this team naming, as there is sure to be some talking points after Shag all but said there will be changes.
When is the team named BTW?

@Gunner it never gets old
Forget about when the team is named, I just want to know from now when will the travelling squad be named?

It's more the rugby doesn't interfere with the dance championships, which is great for daughter, not so great for Dad.
-
Yeah. The whole dance thing is lovely when your daughter is the age of mine (nearly 9) and you can appreciate the effort and talent for those who have it (she does).
But once they start hitting 16+ and its a troupe of gyrating young women in the latter stages of physical development that it gets uncomfortable. One year the dance school concert started with the Open Girls (various ages from about 16-22) dancing in French Maid outfits.
Lot of VERY uncomfortable Dads in the audience that day...

they gonna leave Ofa in Argentina to learn how to scrum?
-
OK, so is Parsons injured, or been dropped for Coltman?
Other than that, zero talking points really.
Hopefully we see some rest and rotation: Tuipolotou, Elliott, Sopoaga, Moala, Naholo into the 23 please.

Wow, what a turn around from 2007, when people despised the words rest and rotation to now, when we're actually hoping for it.
You're right though, time to give others a trot.
-
@Gunner Needs a happy medium: not the "different starting XV each week" style of 2006 (?), but as the coaches have already said last week, to keep people fresh for the duration of the season - especially that last test on the end of year tour (?France), where fatigue tends to make the match closer than it should be.
-
So going by that squad DMac is an injury away ( barret or Lima) from playing his first test , it does happen
-
@Billy-Tell well there are a few, not much to get outraged about like people seem to want but.
Moala back. Will he get a run at 13 or will they stick with Fekitoa.
Dmac in and one step closer to a debut. Wonder if they will want to give BB a rest at some point.
Coltman ahead of Parsons. Most likely injury enforced. Are they going to rest coles at some point? Is Coltman capped yet?
The lock situation. Pat T surely due a run. Probably only off the bench.
Who else is due for a rest?
-
does that mean they only see Dmac as a 1st 5? Considering he's played about 2 games there for waikato and all his super exploits were performed from the back would seem a bit unlikely for him to get on the paddock at 1st 5
