Thank fuck -it looks like they're selecting based on form. Samisoni must be injured.

Nepia

Only one selection in that team annoys me. Am I a Fozzie fan now?

Bovidae

That's the starting forward pack I thought would be selected. No real wing cover on the bench so DMac would move there again.

mariner4life

never, ever thought i would see the day where Brad Weber was selected to start for the ABs in a tier 1 test and people would be stoked.

Old Mate Starry will tell me, but i assume Jordan is still hurt?

Which one?

Crucial

Rotation at hooker but not at reserve lock. Loosies as predicted.
Going with the best midfield and hoping that fixes things there.
Looks like a change in tactics and a back three that is going to try and run the kicks back.

I thought that would be obvious - Reece.

Canes4life

Can't argue with that team.

Nah I didn't pick up on that. Thought it may have been BB at first 5

Tim

Thought Tupaea might be on bench, but Rieko covers midfield.

Looking forward to seeing Jacobson play.

Kirwan

Hopefully Taylor sorts out his throwing, that had a huge impact on what we could do last week. We were forced to keep throwing at 2

Stargazer

@crucial Close to the squad I hoped for, knowing that some selections (Ardie starting, for example) are a given.

Weber starting instead of TJP
Mo'unga back in the 23
Rioane to 11
DH and ALB midfield
Blackadder retained in 23

Only surprise is maybe Jordan being dropped, but Reece is a good replacement. I would have picked Jordan instead of Dmac in the 23, now that RM is back.
