All Blacks vs Scotland
-
if we want to blood some depth...lets do it like we always use too....field the best team to start...get 30 point lead and then change...starting the new guys and thinking the experience on the bench will just come from behind is just asking for trouble

They gave called up TJP and demoted Weber, not sure if that means TJ is getting a run vs Scotland.
It will do. Discussed elsewhere. This is all about keeping them in the mix.
Demotion sounds like Weber has done something wrong. They have just rotated around the squads.

@Tim said in All Blacks vs Scotland:
The All Blacks have also welcomed back fellow midfielders Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Braydon Ennor after they were released to the second-tier All Blacks XV last week.
Neither RTS nor Ennor should be anywhere near ABs

Probably means Weber gets a full game, TJ backs up Smith

@mariner4life cant play 3 tough games in a row...although, when is a game not considered a tough game?
Scoring 30? 40? 50?
Wales and Scotland are tough games now?
They’re not*. So live a little, play a few of the squaddies, rotate a bit, let all the nervous nellies get a bit more anxious. And when we win by “only” 20, the doomsayers will be out and another dozen articles about Razor will come out of the woodwork.
*I do not condone arrogant All Black supporters
I'm far more selfish
I don't want to watch Stephen fucking perofeta and Braydon Ennor and the the rest of the dirt-trackers. I want to watch the best AB side play. Every week. Run you fuckers, it's what you are paid handsomely to do
They only got 6 days to English test, it's all very well for us sitting on our arses having a beer wanting top 23 every week, but realistly never going to happen. Players can run out every week, but not if you want them playing and not breaking down. I reckon there will at least 4-5 changes? To look at combos as well as resting players.

You’re about half right

@mariner4life I’m here all week….
If you live in Canberra I don't blame you!

@Machpants if Ennor goes back into the midfield I will be totally perplexed. I just don't think he is next in line at 13 (or 12). Looks like a winger to me.
-
I'm wouldn't be surprised to see something along the lines of...
1 Bower
2 Taylor
3 Lomax
4 Whitelock
5 Vaa'i
6 Ioane
7 Papali'i
8 Savea
9 Christie
10 Mo'unga
11 Ioane
12 Barrett
13 Lienert-Brown
14 Reece
15 Barrett16 Aumua
17 Tu'ungafasi
18 Laulala
19 Barrett
20 Sotutu
21 Smith
22 Perofeta
23 TeleaTJP will get a run off the bench against England and Taukei'aho will likely start that fixture. After Taylor's decent performance on the weekend, they'll be keen for him to maintain that momentum with another run.

Congratulations @Frank on the nuffiest thread in Fern history
Wrong opposition. Wrong players.
It's absolute peak nuffie. Top ferning
Wtf does Nuffie mean?
You have more upvotes than I get in a year, so I suspect I’m on my own here in the dark

@Frank I, for one, am glad we have a really early thread for this one having nabbed some tickets for it. Have never been to Murrayfield before, taking the wife and leaving the kids with her parents.
It’s an awesome place to visit.
Hope it doesn’t suffer from Sun avo flatness like yesterdays game.
If only the Frogs were playing so it was a party of English hatred eh Crucial!

@Mr-Fish Ioane to the bench, I can't see them starting him at wing.
I suspect that's where he's going to be in the first-choice line-up come World Cup time - might as well trial the axis of the backline against Scotland.
