@DaGrubster Rumours in this thread ... and a bit of mid-week boredom ...

Scott Hansen was VERY admiring of TJ in that recent interview with him.

[The Docter]

The key selection is 9&10 as to how we want to play. Tight 5 is obvious and therefore backrow.

I would go
7. Savea
6. Finau
8. Siititi
9. Ratima
10. McKenzie

[The Docter]

Off the bench Blackadder, TJP and SP, assuming Bodie is FB

Someone needs to lead the haka.

@Canes4life
True and I don’t mind TJ starting

I’ll be extremely bloody surprised if it’s anyone other than Papalii and Savea at 7 & 8.

Yup I can't see them moving Savea and I don't know who else they'd play in front of Paps.

Really going out on a limb is Razor.....

[Wreck Diver]

I'm surprised we haven't had a report to say Blackadder is injured

Why report on what everyone knows? "Latest report: Water is wet"

@Kiwiwomble said in All Blacks vs England I:

wasn;t there less the 600 on monday?

Less than 600 is less than 800. Not inconsistent.

800>600>tickets remaining - still can be correct

Don't tell us, Christie is on the bench.

[gt12]

If it is mid season TJ, good choice.
If it is late season Flapanara, god help us.

[Tim]

@gt12 Shouldn't be playing test rugby, let alone starting. No where near good enough.

How Wayne Smith's fingertips are all over New Zealand's 'Razor' blueprint

The iconic coaching sage will influence Scott Robertson's style of play as the Ian Foster playbook is ripped up.

If the article is to be believed, interesting that Razor would appear unwilling to incorporate anything of the recently successful Blues blueprint into his own

It’s an opinion piece from someone that is speculating on how Wayne Smith’s involvement could be influencing things.

With all due respect to Nick Bishop and his history with the game, I doubt he would know what’s going on from a tactical perspective.
