no specialist 15 really. 10/15s and a 12/15.
England's high ball specialists will be licking their lips. Expect them to go to air a lot.

Not sure they'll start Christie at 9. He's too slow for the earlier parts of the game.
I'd prefer Ratima, but I just see them going Christie, gut feeling. Esp after TJ shat the bed in the semi

What idiot thought putting Kirsty Stanway front and centre of so much of Sky Rugby coverage is a good idea?
Her voice makes me want to cut my ears off and her knowledge is awful.
Her voice is so annoying.

Devlin nails it with Tosi
Surely that was leaked to him.
Out of interest, how many kegs is Tosi carrying these days?
-
So just to be clear: The team that couldn't make a finals series of top eight in a 12 team competition has more All Blacks than the team that won?
-
Sotutu is baffling for sure but he'll be there at some stage and will have the opportunity to prove he should've been there from the beginning.

I think we'll be OK there - more concerned about the 9/10 area and England's ability to pressure there.
-
To be fair to Razor this is his first match and has erred on the side of caution.
I would have gone Ratima-DMac, Love 15.
Sotutu very unlucky that Savea happens to play 8. -

If he doesn't leave after being snubbed by two coaching regimes.
Maybe if he moved to the Crusaders Ryan will pick him. What a joke.

Does this point to Will Jordan as a 15 come The Rugby Championship
I hope so. There’s just not enough Crusaders in there at the moment.

They won how many in a row?
All the crusaders haven't turned to poo because their coach has.
(Not supporting the Bell pick though)

So form means nothing. Got it.

Hmmmmm, would almost say that’s criminal. But are we surprised?

Up to a point. The Perofeta and Blackadder selections smack of sticking to players hoping they come right/won't get injured rather than conservative selections.

Eh? Beaudy has only started once at 1st 5 in the last 20 test matches, but 12 times at fullback.
For me he is a better fullback than 1st 5 these days.

He's still a 10/15, and named in the 10s.

Only if last year you wanted the ABs to be largely Crusaders, by your same logic.
A couple of Blues had very ordinary form in super last year but were still picked. Now it's the crusaders turn.
