@pakman BB and Rieko are the only Blues players this week. There's a little bit of sauce.
We talking about the game day squad or just the XV, or just the backline?
Even if just the backline it doesn't make sense - Jordan and Reece on the wing?

Have heard unconfirmed rumours on Love Rieko DMac and Hotham this week (2 with injuries) . But the silence from official sources is deafening.
NRL is superior in generating interest in so many ways. AB fans are just left with speculation to chew on.Still amateur

Clarke better be fucking injured.
And what the fuck has happened with Paps?
If the best performing forward pack in Super has no-one in the 23 (and its not due to injury), something is off.
It is only Australia though

Cmon Lander….seriously let the side down this week! 😃

Finally some confirmation of the Love injury. Stuff are a little slow with the news...
Ruben Love’s potential All Blacks debut has been put on hold after the Hurricanes fullback was ruled out of the remaining two matches of the Rugby Championship with a quadricep injury.
I see that Lord didn't travel to Aust (training with Taranaki).

- EDG
- Taylor
- Lomax
- Barrett
- Vaa'i
- Sititi
- Cane
- Savea
- Ratima
- McKenzie
- Reece
- J Barrett
- Ioane
- Jordan
- B Barrett
So if there is no Clarke, Love, Perofeta or Tele'a, that means Rieko on the wing? Unless it is Reece which to me would be mental. Clarke will be injured you'd have to think. If McKenzie is injured, then Rieko is on the wing.

Let's hope we pump the Wallabies so we can try a few more players in that second test in Welly.

Heading that Gordon and Donaldson are dropped.
White and Lolesio (!!!) to start
Taint and Lynagh on the bench.Didn't Lolesio just sit out the last match due to injury? Felt like he was always going to return to the starting role. Similar-ish story for Lynagh who's had a few niggles that's hindered his training.
On the All Blacks' side, interesting that Blackadder hasn't been included at all. Maybe he still has a niggle - but strange to not just list him as injured in that case.

Bench: Tosi an improvement, but Darry, Jacobson, Perenara, and a specialist wing don't really scream impact to me.
Remain disappointed by the loosies, though I do like Wallace getting a run. I just don't see that trio being world class.
Rest is okay, though I do think it's time to move on from BB and one start is not really enough to assess Jordan.
