All those covid Crusaders will be back to add to the selection conundrum
Probably won't play everyone 3 weeks in a Row, maybe changes for test 2, probably for game 3 if we win the 2nd test.
I'd expect minimal changes for the second Test unless injury forces them. Perhaps SB to lock and DP at 6. Maybe Caleb Clarke replacing LF - though that' d be tough on the latter.
Looking at how well QT & Reiko went tonight, I think Foster has to balance giving new players a run and building combinations at say, 6/7/8 and midfield.

SB could be in trouble for this. Dumb.
Called it at the time
Think the ref was exhausted with the RI tackle replay not to have a look

I think our big work on is Beaudy, and the other kickers. Exits and kicking for position
They really don't trust Mo'unga though do they, even when they sub him on they leave Beauden out there
He and Barrett just don't look comfortable out there together do they?
Dmac and Barrett together looked much better when we saw it.
Would be hard to leave out Mo'unga on form, of course.
Definitely, though DMac isn't a natural 10. Mo'unga is the king of Crusaderland so putting him in a secondary role to Beauden doesn't seem to work. The coaches need to make the call - one or the other - as you can't have two captains steering the ship.

@Old-Samurai-Jack used to hate Peter 'sea gull' Stringer, he was a shocker.

I don't think Scott Barrett can play for the All Blacks again. He should have had another red card. He is just a bit of a dog. With no 20 minute red card he is just a liability.
That’s just silly.He was one of the best forwards tonight.
And there is nothing in that clean out. Nothing will come from it. -

And there is nothing in that clean out. Nothing will come from it.Even if it is shoulder to shoulder, he has still brought the referee into it. He has cost his team games too many times. Probably the dirtiest player in rugby.

That’s an over reaction have you seen Laws play or the French.

Pleased we beat Ireland and beat them well. I dislike their moaning.
They're the whingiest team in world rugby.
Which is odd considering BOD retired a few years ago now.

And there is nothing in that clean out. Nothing will come from it.live at the game, his discipline was good until the end - then two rucks in a row it looked like the cleanouts were classic shoulder first. Looked dodgy as shit - on another night, that's straight into the cards.

On replay they were good hits.
He was very good tonight to say he shouldn’t play for the ABs again is over the top. -

@Stag Well once he got subbed off when the game was in the bag, the Irish were camped on our line, so if we wanna go down the stats route, he most likely would have ended up with 20 or more tackles had he stayed out there but its not just the amount of tackles he makes, its the effectiveness of them. He hits, and hits hard.

No I didn’t say you did my earlier post was a reply to someone else on here who said he shouldn’t play again for the ABs.

I'd start him at lock, personally
