    @Bones Yeah, very interesting question. Maybe he figures Perofeta has a higher ceiling?

    @Tim the whole Breakdown panel were picking Lakai, aswell as plenty of media sources. I love your optimism about picking both Ioane and Jacobsen but one of them will miss out to Lakai because he can cover all three positions I feel, plus he’s been consistently good the whole comp.

    there is enough change in there for me to be excited, i think i was leaning towards Telea 11 and Reece 14 but happy for almost anyone to get a run under a new coach/gameplan and see if they fire

    Yeah I'd probably rank the wings
    Telea
    Reece
    Narawa
    Clarke

    But as long as Clarke's form translates to international level I'd be happy enough with any pair.

    Just as long as it's not Jordan...

    @Canes4life Lakai as a test 6? No chance.

    I've heard that Jordan will be fit for England. Ignoring that he hasn't played yet. πŸ˜‰

    the whole Breakdown panel

    Those are the dumbest people in NZ, and Jeff Wilson is the stupidest person in the entire world.

    Lakai will be an AB, maybe even in this series.

    @Tim yeah I agree but I think Lakai will get in. I don't think they'll pick both Jacobsen and Ioane.

    @Canes4life Can't deny the talent and athleticism. Plenty of tests in his future.

    @Tim for sure re Lakai. I think Ioane may have surpassed Jacobsen on form so he may get the nod now.

    Admittedly I haven't watched much Super, but would Proctor be a better option than ALB on the bench?

    Then, Franks I suppose πŸ™‚

    Newell to start. Of younger props could go with Dyer or Mafileo. Stop gaps would include Ofa switching to TH or Angus.

    Please God keep Tamaiti on LH.

    @Tim is Lord in any sort of consideration?

    Also, I agree about additional THP and Lock.

    ive always been impressed when i see proctor play, always works hard to get too the outside shoulder, could be the missing link to unlock our wings

    Proctor has been the form 13 of Super Rugby. He's been excellent. He does the ability to play 12 - right now ALB has runs on the board but if Proctor can transfer his Super form to test level then he will give Razor something to really think about.

    I see Aaron Smith has supported Ardie for captain

    Razor has a big decision to make at captain.

    Ardie will be the people's choice and if he chooses Barrett then people will just claim it's Crusader bias.

    Barrett also has a propensity to get himself carded and currently has an injury issue.

    On the other hand Barrett has been a more successful Super captain than Ardie and Ardie has been off overseas in Japan.

    Of course ultimately winning will solve all problems but it will be a big first decision for Razor.

    Between Ardie and Barrett, yikes. Not exactly the two sharpest knives in the drawer.
