Fuck me dead
Foster reading 'The Eddie Jones Story'?

@Steve In order to be able to give RM a rest, they needed to move BB to 10, which means Jordie back to 15 (in the absence of Jordan).
Obviously, it's a bigger step from Jordie to Perofeta at 15 than from Jordie to Havili at 12, who has played well at 12 since the Ellis Park test, even if he has been leapfroged by Jordie. So this line-up makes sense.

He fixed the formatting! I had to go get some Panadol after seeing his post and come back to find it's fixed, even in my quote.

The Blues backs won't even have the opportunity to pass if DH keeps getting tackled and monstered with the ball

He did pretty well at Ellis Park. I also think the Foster Co op wanted to give ALB a start and see how he goes with DH (the JB/RI combi being no.1) which makes an awful lot of sense. Wouldn't be surprised to see Jordie partnering ALB in midfield as they'll want to have a good look at that combination as well.
I'm pleased the second-stringers (such as they are) are being given a start as the game time will be invaluable as near RWC2023

Yes that is true. And I want him to do well. Smart player, I just don't know if he can lock down 12 (and whether that is his best position).

Edited my post to say that they may seem DH/ALB as the no.2 combo and want to see how that goes. I actually think a a fit ALB is arguably the best midfielder we have.

Excited for Telea.
Yeah. From what I've seen he's one of those under-rated, solid, minimal-mistakes player with a high work rate. Hope he gets the opportunity to grab his chance

I don't have any major complaints about the lineup or DH I was just lightheartedly defending the blues against ACT-Crusader!
Yes I like ALB, I just hope he can settle into one position long-term, being good at 12 or 13 is good for the ABs but not so good career-wise for him. So who do you think the best midfield combos are likely to be? It makes more sense to me that they have regular rotating pairs rather than rotate individuals like ALB between 12 and 13.

Down to a scrap between Reiko & ALB for 13. Different players and happy to have both but Reiko has looks to have the top slot - just need to work on his organisation.
Pretty sure we'll see B at 12 against England and that will be the acid test
