Not sure about that back three's ability under the ball.
A game against SA would have a totally different back three with Jordan and JB in there to provide extra height.
The Boks have a relatively small back 3. If we had an uninjured Jordan in there our back 3 would be bigger.
That's my point. I don't think we'd see DMac and Reece, maybe only one of them. Reece is the more suspect IMO.
Kolbe has had his problems under the high ball in the BIL series.

Overall I’m happy with it ,
Like the idea of dalton as a test 7 looking forward , he may even play the cane role better than cane , and Ive got nothing but respect for what cane has done , warrior

Who’s the ref for this one?
No official announcement yet, which makes me think it will be NZ/Aust refs. Unless the likes of Peyper have been in MIQ.
I thought that might be the case, no appointments showing on the World Rugby site for any of the RC Tests.

Looking at the NPC refereeing appointments, no Fraser or Williams listed. O'Keeffe and Berry are in SA. Is Gardner fit now?
Not if I can intercept him on the way to Eden Park.
I'd be much happier with Peyper. Much.

jesus, it's like they make a couple of decisions just to fuck with the public. It all looks so good, and then we end up with fucking Ardie at 8 again.
Nek minnit: Ardie MOTM.

That team is going to fucking spank us. Where is Jordie on the wing? Akira Ioane at 6? Brodie Retallick back.
Ballsacks.
Alright @Derpus what are we going down by? Auckland will be overcast and dry (for Auckland) around 13C at kickoff.
I'll say ABs 53-12 Wobs.

It means he beat a bunch of other guys to it, so it has to mean something

i give it as much credence as Fifita putting in a shift against Argentina when they were average.

Right after we got nailed for a red card in the 5th minute. And we scraped it against a French second- or third-string team who should have had a 2-0 win at that point.

We are desperately short at fullback.
What did DMac do so poorly in his last test?
Serious question as I’m trying to remember. Even went back to the thread to see if it was just me forgetting things.
Sure the DMac v JB debate continues with merit and there are fairly valid concerns on the overall size of the backline (that shouldn’t have to be fixed by the 15).
There are also the old perceptions of headless chook play based on previous years that haven’t been shaken.
I remember the amazing chase back, tackle and turnover but that’s about it. -

that's the one highlight.
made errors, complete non-entity on attack.
we lack a great fullback.

Just seemed an over the top comment that’s all.
Until one 15 really stands out he’s in the mix.
I do think that DMac and RM play the swapsies game better than any of our other combos so if that’s the coaches attack plan then that’s probably why he’s there. -

not really. had a very poor game. doesn't have the accrued brownie points to cash in. lucky to get the next gig. Even if his replacement is no more tried.
