@ACT-Crusader If they have to move Rieko they WILL be getting desperate.

@Bovidae yep Telea (L) and Jordan (R) starting wings. Clarke will be on the bench I'm hearing 🤔
That makes senses if Telea is comfortable there.
Who's covering 12, Son of Eroni?
If Clarke is on the bench maybe that means they won't have a specialist 10 on the bench? (there's probably another 10 at starting 15)
A halfback, a midfielder & Clarke on the bench?

That's a formidably good team on paper the Springboks have selected.
I wonder if the result goes their way convincingly there'll be a greater voice for selecting All Blacks from outside New Zealand.
That being said, I don't think we'll embarrass ourselves like the Wallabies did.

Mathieu Raynal (FFR)
So. Consistent and predictable refereeing. Good.

With minimal deals done....

Holy moly they talk some shit on The Breakdown.
Two examples -Jeff Wilson on Shannon Frizell - "There's no doubt he carries the ball hard and his defence is strong..........He just hasn't had consistent game time"
Angus Taʻavao would rather start Nepo Laulala on the bench ahead of Tamaiti Williams.

You hearing anything about the starting 6 or reserve halfback?
That doesn’t involve Auckland players, so probably not 😎
-
Based on form and especially last weekend, I'm prepared to give Shannon another start this weekend. Also I'd prefer to give DMac another start at 10 too.
I would like to see Tamaiti and Samipeni on the bench too.
-
Life was so much easier when we could just go….
Moody, Taylor, Williams, Whitelock, S. Barrett, Blackadder….

People that don't want Taukeiaho to start, deserve Foster.
I don’t mind if he doesn’t start, as long as he plays 35 minutes minimum
Thanks for interrupting pedicuring Fozzie to chip in.

If anybody is going to cost us on Saturday it will be Bongi.Not sure what the obsession is. I’ve had a long held belief about the best spot to actually captain the team from being the number 2 jersey. Maybe Fitzi planted that seed…Marx exponentially better…Bongi costs us…
Happy with the midfield and the bench. Also stoked that the weather forecast looks good. Both teams obviously amped and home will count.
Looking forward to seeing Brodie again and hoping Coles has an “average “ day…🤞🏻😏
