@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 heβs 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

@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.

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

Fighting fire with fire!

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

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

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.
