6 Jacobson or Akira Ioane
7 Papalii yeah I'm guessing they won't risk Cane
8 Sotutu or Jacobson I'm guessing with Ardie on bench (or will they play Ardie at 8 and bench Blackadder?)
9 Smith (and Weber?)
10Barrettnope as Chris says, has to be Richie
11 R Ioane nope due to 13 issue, Reece or Foster may pick the pace and power of Bridge
12 Tupaea yes
13ALBHas to be Ioane, only alternative is Ennor?

15 J BarrettI would give Retallick the bench spot. He is not going to be there for next World Cup. Akira has to start, Paps and Savea because they won’t look past him. Not my choice at 8 though. The props are another issue.
But as to preparation I would tell the backs to remember the days the ball did not get past the 2nd five until we learn how to play up the middle. It’s simple. You win games against good teams in the forwards.

I thought Rico played hard today. Could do worse than giving him a starting wing spot because he's not the answer in the midfield at this stage
He’s fucken ancient. I don’t want Rico Gear anywhere near an AB team at his age.

Worried about his game. France are good and their half back, Dupont, is fantastic.

@sparky dont be, we will get schooled, set yourself up for it now...

And even if we do, NZR will be all about 'learnings' and 'growth' and 'how hard this tour was' rather than ditching Friar Foster the Mediocre

Just like the last one. Oh. -

I'm also worried about Sam Whitelock. His big engine has a lot of miles.

@nostrildamus Someone had the NZR needs to be firmer with the Crusaders and limit his ganeline with them. Every year, come November, Whitelock is running on fumes.

Just like the last one. Oh.Very excited about it too! Excited to add another black mark on what was once a pretty shiny record... first loss to Ire, getting spanked by same, first loss to Arg, record loss to Oz, Record loss full stop, pathetic lame draw versus very limited Gatland Lions... the list goes on what the Late Hansen/Foster regime has acheived. Moments they will be proud of their learnings and growth

Yes and it is very noticeable with BBBR not quite at his peak.
I actually wondered if they were deliberately burying Brodie, he was on the ground a lot under bodies and unable to swoop with his big wingspan.
