Plus, the old man gets a rest. Wouldn't be great if him or Taylor went down and we had to dust down Sami for next week when he hasn't played in forever.
Does that apply to other dirty dirties? Vai'i, Jacobsen, etc?
When they get as good as Taukeiaho and are covering for Koro, maybe.

Samisoni has been decided average this year, I'm just wondering why only him, no other not 'availability enforced' change

Tough to drop Christie when he did nothing wrong last week...horses for courses...so if we make final.anf if SA do also, based on previous 'courses' Roigard will play the final!
Changes as expected, good ST back, need him to get some 2022 form back in him.
Let's win this and with no injuries!

Because average Samsoni is still better than Jacobson or Vaai.
-
good Samsoni is on a level they couldn't dream of.
-
Jacobson and Vaai aren't required in a crucial position if a 38yo gets injured.
-
-
Good to see they are persisting with Williams and Newell on the bench. They bring more grunt in the loose than Ofa T and Laulala. They also won a scrum penalty while they were only seven against eight Irishmen which tells a lot about their scrummaging ability.

Whitelock swap with Retallick.
Tele'a in. Fainga'anuku out of the 23.
Taukei'aho in. Coles out of the 23.
Like the look of the team, perhaps I would of thought Roigard against Argies, but can understand why they have gone for Christie (well more or less), also Sami, I actually think is good pick as he may get more time than they want to give Colsey before final, I guessing if score is ok (and I saying only if) they may make a couple of eraly changes.
Anyway C'mon ABs , you can do this!!! -

Boring team selection, WTF are we supposed to do for the next 2 days when we all agree with Foster???
Blame him for last week's earthquake in Guatemala.

Getting some intensive anthem practice into my daughter. When she’s never lived in NZ, there’s only the matches on tv to learn. Really hope we are surrounded by kiwis (or Argentinians) and not disgruntled surly Irish and Welsh fans.

@Victor-Meldrew facts man, just the facts.
He did a great leap into the group hug after they won too!
