All Blacks vs Ireland
-
Ireland, as number 1 side in the world and playing at home, are rightly the bookmakers' favourite to win this one. Form suggests they will win too. Can the All Blacks create an upset?

Yes Gotham would be ideal as a pace changer impact player
What? The Dark Knight?

I meant to spell Hotham but he moves too fast for me to get to the H. .

Barring injury, think there'll be little change from the team that played England. Maybe TJP ahead of Ratima. and Roigard to start.

Actually next year off the bench Gotham's sheer pace could be a weapon and I like a bit of R &R as well
Exceot Hotham doesn't have sheer pace. He's not slow, but speed isn't one of his assets.

@Crazy-Horse yeah I'd pick Roigard as quicker, although that may have changed post injury.

Well that try was nice at any rate.

Who do people keep wanting to move Sititi to 8? He’s been absolutely brilliant at 6. Just leave him there.

8 is Sititi's preferred position. 8 will give him more opportunities with the ball in hand where he is excelling. The All Blacks coaches have said they see him as "an 8 who can cover 6."
Ardie Savea is not playing well at 8. (Cane is now too slow at 7.) Perhaps a return to 7 might start getting the best out of the World Player of Year again?

I agree with all this. Why don't they try people out for half a game. It's becoming annoying to be honest.
