I don't think in this entire show the Breakdown team mentioned a single England player by name. Arrogance, ignorance or both?

I know you have to pump your own car's tyres up but this show is beyond average

It’s a show which is tries to be high on style low on substance.

It’s not a show for serious rugby analysis

For analysis, Aotearoa Rugby Pod is much better. I was just watching earlier, James Parsons in particular is quite insightful. He didn't think we played great vs Japan, wanted to see us be more direct

Yeah, he is really good to listen. I agreed with him but the I wondered if they don’t want to play a more direct style to give England a game to analyse so close to playing them

Tubby Barnes firing some early shots. I don't see the ABs beating the rush defence with BB at 1st 5.

Agree with pretty much all of what he said to be honest.

[sparky]

England have named their team:

[Bones]

Reckon we need to at least name Temu in the starting XV.

I think they need a few more VCs.

[sparky]

A 6-2 split on the England bench in case you were wondering.

Only in the final quarter.

@sparky who believes they are that good?

They aren't as shit as being made out on here, but they aren't amazing either.

we are strong favourites against England. So there's that - now we have to execute

[sparky]

Ruben Love won't be featuring for the ABs:

[reprobate]

good, better to keep him playing.

[frugby]

Think most of the starting side picks itself. Big question is who takes the last back position I reckon.
EDG/Taylor/Lomax
Barrett/Vaa'i
Sititi/Savea/Cane
Ratima/?
J Barrett/Ioane
Clarke/?/?

B Barrett and Jordan will take two of those spots, where they play depends on who fills the other spot. Suspect it will be Reece on the right wing, but could easily be Perofeta at 15 or DMac at 10.

[nzzp]

I think
10 DMac
14 Jordan
15 BB

is the strongest we can put out. Moving BB to 10 weakens 10 and 14 (and is short term). Jordan has his failings, but Reece is really struggling in Tests this year

[reprobate]

I'd stick with Jordan at 15, he's the future and offers so much more in attack.
McKenzie over Barrett at 10 every day of the week.
And I guess Reece, reluctantly - unless Beauden wants a run there? Better in the air than Reece at least...

[Frank]

@sparky He's clearly better than Perofeta

[Canes4life]

I think the 23 will be the below, will be surprised if it isn't.

1. EDG
2. Taylor
3. Lomax
4. Barrett (C)
5. Va'ai
6. Sititi
7. Cane
8. Savea
9. Ratima
10. McKenzie
11. Clarke
12. Barrett
13. Ioane
14. Jordan
15. Barrett
16. Aumua
17. Williams
18. Tosi
19. Tuipolotu
20. Finau
21. Roigard
22. Leinert-Brown
23. Reece

[KiwiMurph]

Liam Napier suggesting it's Beauden at 10. He is usually on the money with his predictions.
