But true, Bridge would be a much better pick than Faingaanuku on the bench eh. Because at least George can be rated on tough tests.
For a tough test, you'd pick George Bridge over Damien MacKenzie, because George Briodge never shat the bed as badly as Damien MacKenzie did in a tough test.

@nostrildamus he's already had to concede on the props and the midfield. He won't be proven wrong on hooker and halfback too.
I hope they have the bed made up at Keith Murdoch's old place
This is a perfectly random nostrildamus post, well done sir.
eh? You should know better than to encourage me...

Do you think George will be back in Black once Scott Robertson gets his feet under the table then?

Never? I seem to recall a match against South Africa....
But sure, North Island-born George Bridge versus South Island-born Damian MacKenzie who went to school in Christchurch! There's no saving that kind of background!

@frugby I’m not a gambling man, but those odds for Taylor look good. I’d say there’s a decent chance that we score first off a maul.

@ACT-Crusader If we score first, it'll be a highlander...

Some really bizarre logic in here from folk defending Christie over Roigard.
Pretty predictable when you see who is doing the defending.
Who is defending Christie over Roigard?

It's a complete mystery.
There is more risk in picking Roigard

What I actually wrote and you chose to omit.
There is more risk in picking Roigard, but that's more than balanced out by the bigger upside in having Roigard on the bench.
and:
If I give Christie a 5/10 in a tight, must-win Test (probably really generous based on recent form), what rating would you give Roigard? The answer is you can't because he hasn't. That's an unknown. Which is a risk.
Does Roigard's skill-set, recent experience & performances merit taking that risk? Absolutely, and that's why I think he should be picked.
If you think that's somehow preferring or defending Christie over Roigard then clearly comprehension isn't your strong point....
Why Ireland must lose
