@tim you'd think Finlay would get a start too, with Webber off the bench.

Imagine Rieko Ioane will get a rest.
I couldn't decide there. Was trying to find a back reserve balance. Maybe ALB on the bench but not used unless necessary?
All guesswork anyway as we don't know who needs play to keep sharp or who needs a careful build into the last two games.

As a ginga he's lucky to be in the squad. A start might set a precedence.

For those that live nearby.
Mmm. Still 2.5 hours from here.
And they pick the day it's due to rain.

Anybody over here going? Tempted to see if can find a ticket for France somewhere, but it doesn't look cheap.
Italy is a bit more bearable, be nice to pop to Rome for a weekend again.
I can imagine tickets to the Wales game would be a couple of hundred squid by now, plus the complication of trying to figure out my covid passport.
Dublin...yeah nah fuck Dublin.

The kick-off times are slightly different for the USA and Italy games, depending on which official website you look at:
USA v All Blacks: k/o 8.00am NZT (3.00pm local time) - according to ticketmaster website.
Italy v All Blacks: k/o 2.00am NZT (2.00pm local time) - as announced by the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) last week.

Preferred the 9pm AEST (12pm NZT) kickoff in @Tim's post but makes more sense.

I suspect the French game atmosphere will go someway to easing the pain of the expenses.. what is "powderpuff forwards" in French? Joueurs de poudrière?

Wales B might not attract that many locals.

Sold out already

A good read this. Ethan is certainly his own man, and hasn't followed the typical path through the rugby system.

'I'm not quite in good enough shape to be playing test footy': Sam Cane's stark admission
Sam Cane doesn't expect to be locked in as a certain starter for this week's test against Wales, and he doesn't think you should either.
thoughts? is a tour the place to get back match fit or would have have been better playing NPC and giving one of the other a few more games in the black jersey?
