All Blacks: Who plays halfback this weekend?

Analysis: Aaron Smith's incredible career saw him snuff out any debate about the No 9 jersey for 13 straight seasons, but who takes his place, asks Jamie Wall.

Let me sum this up:
Experienced vs Incumbent vs In-form

My worst fear is a combination of Flapanara and Ginger McShitpass.

@Daffy-Jaffy Unsurprising given how Dan Cole went against Japan.

A first ever test as coach, against a warmed up England side, that's a decent challenge. Whatever happened to a few games against lesser opposition before jumping into a game with one of the big boys?

Graham Henry first game was england too...and they were world champ at the time

That squad selection policy not looking quite so stupid now!

Has George Bridge been bought in as emergency cover yet?

[voodoo]

Wingers don’t have to defend much so maybe they’ll call up Sotutu

[Kiwiwomble]

@voodoo i dont think they mean the left side when they say both sides of the ball

[voodoo]

forward pack is strong, the backline is really average.

Pretty sure South Africa started naming a lot earlier.

Maybe wrong, but so do some of the 6N teams.
