    @stargazer Would have thought there would be comment around all the props taken, the omission of Frizzell, and the lack of cover at 10. Presumably McKenzie or Havili?

    Yeah, probably Dmac first, next option would be Havili and then Jordie.

    I'd love to get more precise info about when all these babies are expected to arrive. If it's in the next week, Whitelock/Mo'unga/Smith may not miss too many games, but if it's in a few weeks, they may miss the entire RC.

    Do they have to isolate on arrival over there?

    Surely Braydon Ennor earns "The Myth" title now. He must be a fantastic midfielder to be picked so regularly but he should play 7 because I never see him.

    @hooroo Not sure, but if there are quarantine requirements, I hope it will make a positive difference that Whitelock, Mo'unga and Smith are all living in the - thus far - Covid-free South Island (hoping it stays that way). If NZ can distinguish between Aussie states, surely Queensland/Australia can have different requirements for the North and South Island?

    Yeah true. I was thinking that if baby is due in next two weeks and then they have to isolate for two weeks then there won't be much point in travelling

    Yes they will, into QLD, 2 weeks in hotel isolation, so they could play the Boks - just. Unless they get some sort of exemption.

    dead set, if the Wallabies can't beat that team tehn they may as well pack it in for good.

    Best hooker? not there
    Best lock? Not there
    Best player and also best 9? Not there
    Best 10? Not there

    3 of those are our most influential players.

    I know this has been mentioned before but some of these players need some basic birds and bees lessons.

    You all know when the scheduled break in the pro year is. Time your rooting accordingly. Certainly not 9 months before a tournament.

    So tens would be BB, DM as cover, and I'd go for TJ as break in case of emergency.

    Let DH focus on 12, same as Akira at 6, and let them both develop as specialists.

    @kirwan agreed...so we can expect AI to start at 10 with TJ at 6?

    With Richie out, if something happened to BB (and omitting the backups on tour) I've been trying to think who would be the 10 back home they could take and I can't think of one..
