maybe a little random .... and can't see it happening -
But are we using NZs Stirling Mortlock too much at 12 rather than 13?
I just like the idea of Jordy hitting hard on to ALB short balls and deft little passes...
He’s also got the pace for centre as evidenced by his intercept
It's hard to detect sarcasm in print. You are being sarcastic right?
No
I was using the confusing SH terminology
He’s currently playing 2nd 5/8
You need more pace to play centre, especially speed endurance
JB has that, hence my comment
What JB have you been watching? He's not quick and he didn't look quick when he took that intercept.

He went in untouched from 51m
Quick enough for me

He was handed the ball by the Boks while all their backs were in attack mode and he had to jink near the line to avoid being run down.

12- Havili
Under the pump, must win, coach feeling a little pressure, secret weapon.15- Jordie Barrett
His running game is needed at the back. Plus better opportunity to use his boot to clear the ballJacobson (if fit) to the bench.
If Clarke is out, they will likely start MT. I’d go for Reece for workrate.

Very true and most would have expected them to chase down a cart horse
But they didn’t

Fair to say he's so speedster. But he's no slug either

Yep
He’s no Jordan, or his brother
But he’s fast enough for that role

@MiketheSnow is doing his best to prove why Wales have been irrelevant for 70 years

It won't happen but would be nice to see what plummer could do off the bench.
If not, I hope Plummer gets a game against Australia. We know what DMac and BB offer, I want to see if Plummer can take his Blues performance up to test level. Just like Darry

@MiketheSnow probably faster than SBW

Most likely outcome is Perofeta comes back and so Plummer drops out of the squad without ever seeing if he is up to the level

Yeah. Disappointing. I'd like to see a little more bravery in selection. Plummer was one of the two best 10s in the best team in Super Rugby. The other one was DMac. Perofeta couldn't even get a start most of the season. Wouldn't these guys be just a little curious?

So you're saying 21 would be Lord?

I also can't see why anyone in their right mind would drop Rieko after the game he had.
At the risk of sounding like a degenerate Hater, can I ask what Rieko did to apparently be un-droppable?
That was his best game this year but I think even then he was still our least effective back ball in hand.

His defensive work was generally very, very good, positioned himself well with JB and he was effective at the breakdown. I don't think he's kicked on as much as we hoped, but that was a really solid effort and the JB/RI midfield worked pretty well.
