@game_film we've got Namibia, Uruguay and Italy to play our B/C teams. And weeks between games. We need the A team humming to beat France. For me, that means playing as close to our A team against SA.

If Bell is out, I'd call Coltman. He was very good for Lyon during the last stages of Top 14.
So…the NZRU finally allows the ABs to pick overseas players and first dibs goes to Liam Coltman…in an instantly forgettable match before the main event.
Oh look I just saw a pig flying.
Nb: not having a go at you. But they are not going to choose an overseas player.
He is in NZ now.
-
yes there is risk, but
no way we can go in to that game against France with the top side having not played since July. The A side needs to get rolled out, and we deal with possible outcomes on Monday.
-
Yep agree with above 2 posts. Roigard could end up being point of difference for the ABs. Big upside.
Am going to this one. Been looking forward to it for ages.
Been doing a few reconnaisance missions to London last few months for rugby viewing pubs and WC.
Famous 3 Kings Fulham and The Pavillion End St Pauls look good. -
@BerniesCorner might see you there mate, easily recognisable.
-
@BerniesCorner i was hoping to go. But the wife needed a new car and kept signing our daughter up for dance courses. F@ck Canada is expensive.
-
So Frizell and BBBR crooked. Starting pack EDG/CT/TL/SB/SW/SC/Finau/AS.
Bench interesting. I’m assuming Ofa, Sami and Nepo as front rankers. Logic suggests Vaa’i to cover lock. But how about Lord as well and 6-2 split? Jacobson makes up forwards. A half back and ALB to cover all else?
-
Taking my eldest (9) to this and really looking forward to it.
Been trying to keep an eye out for any AB public facing sessions but haven't spotted any.
He mainly wants to meet a Barrett brother 😁
-
whats the chances of Havili playing in this one?... probably a few in the squad that need a run

Not at all, if Jason isn't talking pc talk
'We’ll pick our best team available': All Blacks confirm they want to dominate Boks
All Blacks assistant coach Jason Ryan has no qualms about sending out the best players against the Springboks this week as the team prepares in London for the Twickenham Test.
