Interesting Shag saying , we want to play two playmakers ,
The argument he makes seems to make more sense with Beaudy at fullback and Richie and first-five. Having two points of attack to take the defence's focus off one is a great idea in theory, but if the English defence start forcing Barrett to make errors I expect McKenzie to as well. When the poor option taking happens it seems to be contagious with those two.
I suspect that might be the longer term plan , but want to ease Richie into it ,
In this game he will get game time at 10 , Beaudy back to FB ,
I would not be surprised to see him starting next year and McKenzie back to the bench

@mn5 pretty sure when Ben Blair (our last midget 15) played at Twickers we lost...

Yes, rather worrying.
Also the following year when Caleb Ralph had a shocker too.

So, which All Black is a dab hand at milking cows? Sopoaga reveals all
Lima Sopoaga, the former All Black fly-half, and current Wasps star, runs us through those in the New Zealand lineup out to beat England on Saturday at Twickenham.
Power Ranking the All Blacks based on Lima Sopoaga anecdotes
Lima Sopoaga recently delivered a handful of anecdotes about each All Black in this weekend's lineup. Naturally, we decided to rank everyone based on his assessment.

@mikethesnow haha that would suggest England are going to score a try?
I think (think) @mikethesnow was suggesting a margin between 16 and 21. Five points isn't a 'canter'.
Correct 👍

@bovidae @taniwharugby Thanks. Something and nothing really though, I mean you wouldn't want them to be saying we're encouraging him to stand back and admire them would you? Really?

@crucial That is interesting and I think illustrates two things about NZ. Firstly that the depth is that good that it is never felt that the team is being weakened by using the bench (not sure I agree, but it would seem to be the view). Secondly that Hansen and co are very good at providing experience for a large group of players - building for the future.
