Reiko gets the week off for that blunder. Nothing worse than a showboat all black.
Not sure that helps us win though.
Think he will have the message even if nobody says anything.
Lots of the greats have done it. I remember Cully dropping the ball while holding the ball in one hand once
-
@Frank Take away PUJ and that would be my team too. A fire should be lit under Pat T and Karl T replaced by Lomax.

Moody
Taylor
Ofa T
Whitelock
Tuipulotu
Frizzel
Cane
Sotutu
Smith
Mo'unga
ALB
Goodhue
Clarke
Bridge
B Barrett / J BarrettLomax
Coles
Karl T
Vaa'i
Savea
Perenara
R Ioane
McKenzie / J BarrettThe bracketing goes like this - if BB is fit then you don't need 10 cover on the bench, but if he's not, then you do.
Frizzel gets a chance to atone for yesterday but if he can't then I reckon he's a lost cause.

Given ALB is the midfield replacement option, we might be better off all round.
When Laumape is back to full fitness it'd be bloody handy to have Laumape's running in the mid field, with Clarke and a (lesson learnt) Ioane out wide to pass to as well.

my team would be pretty close to this

that line is getting very long since Kaino left.

This selection is no different to last Sunday except that ALB starts. This looks more of rhe same to me.

@Old-Samurai-Jack I agree about Carl. He did a good job of tackling by laying on top of people but nothing like Ofa. Lomax went okay.
-
The thing that is frustrating is that already we are seeing the problems of 2018/19 popping up.
An unbalanced loose forward trio, messing about with a midfield combo so combinations can't form, lack of go forward up the middle to create space for the speedies etc. I know it is early days but jeez, and I hope I am wrong, but these things could magnify further.
Fox seems to get a free pass but he has always been in the mix since these issues appeared. -

Eh? Clarke and Sotutu are both in there to start.
-
I won't comment on the front row, but 4-7 stay, Sotutu comes in for Ardie who goes to the bench. Clarke starts at 11, ALB at 12. I think Reiko did enough to get another go at 13, that extra pace is awesome. JB can stay on at 14 if BB is fit, otherwise he goes to 15 and Jordan at 14.
Inexperienced? Maybe. Electric? Absolutely.

Karl did a good job about tackling? Did you even watch the game? When Moody went off Karl brought nothing to the table except. A slow jog to the breakdowns. Very little to no urgency about his game, saw this in Mitre 10 and SRA.

Need to get some mongrel at the breakdowns, we need to intimidate at the collision. Aussies did an England Semi on us.
