@Canes4life said in RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina:
Roigard, DMac and Blackadder need to be involved. The question is who do we rest?
Maybe keep Frizzell on ice, do we protect A Smith and does BB come off the pine?
My team would be:
- De Groot
- Taylor
- Lomax
- Barrett
- Whitelock (keep Rettalick fresher for the final by bringing him off the pine)
- Blackadder (keep Frizzell fresh for the final)
- Cane
- Savea
- Smith
- Mo’unga
- Fainganuku
- Barrett
- Ioane
- Jordan
- DMac (Beaudy off the pine)
- Coles
- Williams
- Newell
- Rettalick
- Papali’i
- Roigard
- Barrett
- Leinert-Brown
Christ, not this shit again.
The ABs managed to win a massive game without him. I for one would be pissed off if they shoehorn him in at anyones expense.
Save this claptrap for when Cane has retired.

I think Telea will be the only change unless there is an injury.
Depends on how Nugget is physically. Expect Roigard on the bench.
Why? Horse for courses??
As much as I want Roigard to be there, I also want Foster to commit to a reserve 9 - and if that’s Christie, then he should be on the bench again this week ahead of the (touch wood) final
Yup. He better stick to his convictions. If having a defensive edge is required for a quarter final, when you don't even give him any game time - then it sure as shit is required in a final if we make it. Wouldn't that be just great going into the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

Yeah, think so. Foster has made that clear that the reserve 9 for Ireland was picked on that basis. Maybe they think they'll need to defend against Argentina in the last 20 as well.

Who do you want on the bench as Christie didn't play, so continuity isn't an issue? Roigard or Christie?

Yep. T'was a genuine question as Christie hasn't much game-time either.

I literally just said Christie better be the halfback because we'd sure as shit need a defensive edge in the final and I don't want to be playing the final with a reserve halfback who's had 3 games off.

Ah OK. You prefer Christie on the bench in tight games like Ireland and the Final (if we get there). Comprende

Mo'unga throwing his hat in the ring as the reserve 9
Forgotten how well he did last night in all the excitement.

No I don't.

So I’ve got tickets for this! Taking my 11 year old daughter to her first AB rugby match. And most definitely not showing the wife the credit card bill.

It's a fucking world cup semi final
Play the top team and hope we are in a position to give guys an early mark
Yup same team, apart from telea, Leicester is defensive liability. I would have roigard on the bench, because he is better and if Christie wasn't good enough defensively to come on that last period against Ireland's then he has nothing to offer. If the game is in the bag early, then early subs

Gotta get the balance right between playing the same team and not knackering the likes of BBBR, Big Sam and Nugget.
