@unite not sure, given they usually name at 5am which is when I am asleep, even more disrespectful
@SouthernMann that is interesting as Crotty has been doing a little bit of media this week and that is usually an indicator they are looking to start.

If that's the team @mariner4life's toys will not stay in the cot long.

Hell of a long Flight for Dmac to carry water rather than be with family

I’m always underestimating.
When I predict the All Blacks by 10 they usually win by 20. When I say by 20 they win by 25+.
I won’t ever do it again.
Is that because you make the predication based on your Canta-blacks selection and not on the actual selection?
After Hansen fails to read my emails and names the team on Thursday my expectations go down considerably

There’s still one more practice and if one of Barrett or Richie get hurt in that, he needs to be in Saffaland just in case.

That was my preferred starting 15 - I'd be pleased.
Not so sure about the hooker researve (although to be expected) plus no Dmac or ALB...
That reserve hooker probably had his best stint as an AB last weekend. So hopefully continues on the up.

Solid Point. Forgot about that.

I'm looking forward to this game in a way I haven't for quite some time. That's a very good team we've picked.

Only 2 Barretts so that will calm him a bit. Probably 2 too many for him though.
Actually, just on SB, I was ready to write him off last year but he's been excellent in 2018. Really stepped up and become a genuine test lock. Obviously he's no BBBR, but who is?
-
SBW & Goodhue.
Yeah baby yeah.

@nzzp said in Springboks V All Blacks:
Goodhue and SBW.
I like this a lot.
Goodhue makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
It was inevitable he'd be an ab when he started playing for Canterbury. Some players have Allblack written all over him. He certainly did.
Now to reunite him with Jordie at 12......

23 Ryan Crotty (40)I like this selection. The only thing I would change - with availability of players in mind - is Crotty at 12 instead of SBW, but that may happen in the second half.
-
@stargazer what do you mean by availability of players?
