    Jacobson not Jacobsen. He's not a Danish architect.

    The only injuries I heard were Blackadder and Clarke. I presume everyone else was fit for selection.

    I agree with a fair bit of this. If that team in correct, chucking a noob in a must win game in SA in a position he doesn't play - the selectors have lost their shit

    Springboks-All Blacks takes: Double banking dishonesty, Fassi the weak link, undercooked selections

    The All Blacks let a crucial victory against the Springboks slip away in the final quarter despite holding a 27-17 lead.

    Jesus christ, that better work.

    That's an incredible drop for Finau if true, and it better be an inspiring selection of Sititi.

    I can't see it.

    @ACT-Crusader the funny thing about Savea's 2023 form was he played fucking TIGHT. Think back to those RWC play-offs. He was all graft. Carried in the tight, actually hit rucks. Was far narrower than at any other time under those coaches. He was like a different player. Less YouTube shit, just hard footy.

    Big ups to his Japanese sabbatical. Perfect preparation for test footy

    Ethan Blackadder is injured that is the reason Sititi is starting and Jacobsen is on the bench.

    If only we had another in form blindside.... 🙄

    in fairness, it worked for Jerome. He came back niggle free, fast and fit.

    The problem is it's Ardie who will run out on Saturday, not Jerome

    Point is it isn't the sabbatical that's the issue (necessarily)

    Right, so the rookie that actually plays 6 has had his confidence shot so isn't being picked. Now it's time to throw the other rookie in out of position in a must win game against SA in SA. Makes perfect sense, not a massive fucking gamble at all.

    if that is the actual team, then i cannot wait to hear the official chat around it.

    I didn't think the starting side did too much wrong. BB paying the price for those kicking errors i guess we all called for, but that resulting in an entirely new back 3 is a huge call.
    TJP has his best test of the year and gets the chop is a big call.
    A Blackadder injury obviously forced a hand. That hand being Sititi as a complete rookie in an unfamiliar position is a huge call. A rookie who is my height i might add. The saffers will be hunting that Savea at 2 ball hard this week.
    Then the bench is the same as last week, except, seeya Finau, that's your immediate test future cooked. But, more interestingly, Jacobson comes on to the bench. Which makes sense if you think Finau just doesn't have it, and Dalton is still unavailable. But if Dalton is available this is fairly big call.

    I'll sort of need to see to believe.

    I was actually wondering if Finau's May shoulder injury was more serious than thought.. just a stinger the media said at the time but he wasn't even hard-tackling with highlights regularity..

    Whoever we put out I just hope we smoke these Saffas on Sunday. So sick of 'We are the best ever' chat on social media. We need to remind them that the ABs are not to be messed with and bar the f up.

    They lost at home to the Irish. A team we dispatched in the quarterfinal.

    Let them get excited about something - being a world champion as a nation declining to emerging market status must bring some element of joy.

    It may be argued that our team has actually declined.

    @Canes4life we don't need any reminder of who the ABs are mate. Even as our greatest rivals you've had the wood over us for most part. Little purple patch here for us sure .. but we know any game is always 50/50.

    And that makes it great. Enjoy the occasion this weekend. Should be epic

    Marc Hinton logic - "BB dropped for shit kicking and option-taking - pretty keen to see him get a run at 10 though eh"
