This sort of side for the rest of the year please.
1 Williams or De Groot
2. Taylor
3. Lomax
4. S. Barrett
5. Darry
6. Finau or Vaii
7 Paps
8. A. Savea
9. TJP (if it's wet). Ratima (if dry)
10. DMac
11. C.Clarke or Reiko Ioane
12. Jordie Barrett (maybe ALB)
13. Billy Proctor
14. W. Jordan ( right wing looks his stronger position at test level)
15. B. Barrett- Sami T or Aumua
- De Groot or Williams
- Ofa T or Newell (I'd like to see Newell given some time in the NPC to develop his game beyond set piece)
- Patty T
- Ethan Blackadder, but I'm hoping Sotutu might be back for the EOYT.
- Roigard once he's ready, but any of Ratima, TJP or Notham until then.
- Perofeta or Love
- ALB or Reiko
-
As nice as that first half was to watch, I won't be convinced there's been a material change until the All Blacks consistently play that well.
And the bench don't look like they meet on the bus.

From Stuff:
Scott Barrett is expected to return from a finger injury to captain the All Blacks for two tests away to South Africa.
Patrick Tuipulotu, Luke Jacobson and Ethan de Groot are under injury clouds and might not travel with the 36-man squad.So, out for Argentina?

Who do we expect to come in? Isaia Walker-Leawere, Hoskins Sotutu and Xavier Numia?

Surely it's Lakai or Lio-Willie? The 7.5 is strong.

I obviously wouldn't mind 3 Canes being called up but Lakai's time will come. Hoskin's deserves it more at this stage after a great Super season.

If EDG doesn’t go it’s most likely to be Bower. He was training with the All Blacks last week and didn’t play for Otago on the weekend.

Another middle finger salute to form Super Rugby players then. Oh, and Bower is a Crusader, surprise surprise.

Bower was also probably the best crusader early season and is a very underrated AB. He's probably a better carrier than most of the other props and he works hard.
I would be wincing watching Numia debut in SA.
