Already a question mark on availability of Ardie, Reece and Nepo due to baby-watch. If this comes true then match day squad will change.
yes, hello, my name is mariner4life and i have a question
if you are a professional rugby player from NZ, why are you timing babies for mid to late October? in a normal year all 3 of those guys would be expecting to jet off to Europe about now.

Clearly they weren't thinking about timing....

I'd still have the midfield swapped around but it went O.K. last week and they seem to be flexible about it on the field i.e the numbers don't matter too much.
Fozzie obviously has a plan though - it's not a trivial move to swap these guys around.
So does Jack offer a bit more size to run hard at the line - i.e. for Aaron Smith's try on Sunday? Or does ALB (and Rieko) offer a bit more speed at centre?
Or is it more defensive?

Ha. I asked these questions before last test and I don't think that they were answered.
I would stick with the same pair though.

A and B i reckon. JG fair smacked in to the line a few times on the weekend, and created quick recycle. He's also solid defensively

And with Beaudy and Jordie in the team it doesn't matter that he's an inside centre rather than a second five (providing kicking and playmaking options).

Do we persist with Jordie on the wing?
JB does sometimes look a little bit lost on defence on the wing, the Koroibete try is a good example when he moves to his left instead of holding his position out wide. The thing is that Reece also has issues defending on the wing, as does Jordan. Rieko would be in the only other "safe" option if there was to be a change.

Well he's not Japanese, (and beautiful, wise and child don't really fit) so it must be Rieko.

Yeah him too

It appears to me they want JG at 12, I'm less convinced on who they want at 13 though, if that try hadn't gone begging would they have started RI or was rotating RI and ALB always the plan?
I personally think ALB/JG or i guess JG/ALB is what I prefer, but I would like RI to start at 14, given there is no way Clarke doesn't start the next test...it then comes to which Barrett starts, BB for me.

Agree. Oughtn't to be beyond the wit of man for JG and ALB to alternate a bit on our ball.

Be interesting to see if Fozzie makes changes other than injury related. Hope he doesn't
Can't see 6-8 changing as that looks to be his preferred option and 9-13 will probbly stay the same. Just don't get the Jordie Barrett selection. He deserves to be in the team, but at 14?
