Dalton, Luke and Brodie.
Actually Amua over Luke but I’ve already voted
Can’t pick a hooker making Anton Oliver look like an accurate thrower.
-
I went with Rettalick, Beaudy and TJ. Hard to pick tonight though.

Surprised Aumua isn't getting more love.
Jacobsen... Christ ?, First World problems but who do we leave out of the loosies when Ardie and Cane are available?
Akira. The ultimate impact player

And who then? We only get to pick 4.

Yeah tough call, I would like the 3 from tonight vs the Boks and Ardie off the bench.

It’s taken years to find someone to replace Kaino. The tinkering can happen at 7 & 8 where we have loads of options

I can't help but feel that Jacobsen is a quality 8 that just oozes rugby IQ. I want to see more of him at the back.
-
Yeah I feel Dalton will be the unlucky one, I'd still take Cane ahead of him. Ardie on the bench. Blackadder out of the squad.
I do get surprised people go on about our trio being too small with Ardie there, then go on about Jacobson or Blackadder - who are both 7 size also.

What was really noticeable today was how anonymous Kremer and Matera were as compared with this fixture last year. None of Akira, Dalton or Jacobson were having any of their shit today and it made a massive difference.

Who is your starting 6?

TJP, BBBR & Scott Barrett for me. The latter's work rate was immense tonight
Just watched a replay and he was into things a lot more than I recall from first viewing. A very good game.

The backrow is starting to look a good as a unit and physical, no need to tinker with Akira at 6 indeed, he needs to bed down and realise how good he is/can be. AB's have been far too accomodating and flexible the last 4 years or so ... imo anyway.
Rather have a straight shootout with Cane and Paps for 7. Cane has leadership, a known quantity how he plays but let's see how looks as he comes back vs Paps looks a natural, a tad raw at international level, will have more upside than Cane in time ... I really rate him the more I see.
Ardie vs Jacobson for 8 unless anyone else emerges which I don't discount. Still prefer Ardie for impact off the bench.
