Name Your AB Team

@Bones I think Sotutu and Sititi are better players than Finau, but hard to throw them at 6 against England off a short prep when they haven't been playing there.

I think you've jumped the shark.

@Bones Developing players to play in two different back row positions at Test level is something practically every other country in the world does.

I dunno it was @Nepia's no-one-injured team, so I was asking if he thinks that the 3 9s he listed are better than Roigard

It looks like the AB team to me.

You lost me at Havili. If Sotutu misses out he will feel very hard done by

Take both you may need them.

[george33]

@Chris can't see at least 7 of those players being involved

[Frank]

I reckon chchfanatic is on the money.
Razor has strongly plumped for experience (even then I can't stomach Havili ahead of AJ Lam)
Sititi is the only true bolter.
