has Fifita played 8, although could put Savea at 8....
I know it'd be raw, but put Read on the bench and start Papali'i, Savea and Fifita
whats the worst that could happen
Reuben Thorne is awarded a retrospective knighthood?

@donsteppa I'd of thought Italy winning, but ok...
-
Put it this way, if we lose to Italy, then i want everyone sacked. Everyone.

And the squad has to stay in Italy. Citizenship revoked.

@donsteppa exiled to Somalia would be better!

fuck off, that sounds awesome. Villas in Tuscany are pretty cheap. Drop them somewhere shit.
No, that's harsh. They can come home. It's just they have to move to Palmerston North.

For all the commotion that was made about releasing Matt Todd from his Japanese contract,he hardly played 20 minutes in the 2 most important tests of the tour..what was the point..?
To be fair that call was made many weeks ago without current knowledge of form and injuries.
You have to make an all or nothing call at that time -

Fuck imagine how much we all would've climbed into them if they hadn't. Savea gets injured in the captains run for England. I guess it would've given us a chance to see Goodhue at 7, reckon he'd be a cracking openside.

Reckon they should pick:
-
Karl (KT needs game time, Ofa stays on bench)
-
Coles (game time after injury, rest Cody, Harris to 16)
-
Laulala (rest Franks, Ta'avao to bench)
-
BBBR
-
Barrett (Tuipulotu on bench)
-
Fifita (prove you're up to it, Hemopo on bench)
-
Aardie
-
Read
-
TTT (start time for a younster)
-
Mo'unga (start time for development)
-
Ioane
-
ALB (my favourite midfielder outside of Goodhue, and potential to check their combo)
-
Goodhue (the more starts the bettef for the young fulla)
-
Waaaai, Saaaaake, Naaa-hoooool, low
-
BFA
-
Harris (give Cody a break)
-
Ofa
-
Ta'avao
-
Paddy T
-
Hemopo (ok, so no open side reserve ... it's Italy ...)
-
TJP (best halfback currently)
-
DMac / Laumape*
-
DMac / NMS*
- rest BB, probably go for Ngani and DMac. Not sure NMS has it any more

@booboo You'll have all those Blues supporters up in arms! Papalii.
Oh yeah.
Yeah ... well that's got me thinking maybe we start him at 6 ... and he covers 7 as well. Fifita is a waste of a cap IMO.
