Blues 2019

@Nogusta I'd start Tele'a on the right but I can picture them going 11-Rieko 15-Nanai 14-Duffie 23-Tele'a

[Canes4life]

Just aslong as Nonu starts against Laumape.

[Nogusta]

@KiwiMurph Nock and Plummer to start? Papalii to start as well with Robinson out. Jed Brown will probably take the reserve loosie spot but would love to see Sotutu get a run. Maybe a shake up in the front row given Saturday nights events? Lindenmuth has been playing for a few weeks now so perhaps he'll be given a crack with Mafileo still out injured.

[Canes4life]

No point thinking about it too much @Rocky-Rockbottom, the Canes are going to ease in on Friday night.

Got my name and avatar locked and loaded already. 😆

P.s the game will be well over by the weekend. 😉

[taniwharugby]

@Nogusta Robinson out? Or just being given a spell?

[Nogusta]

@taniwharugby not too sure...an earlier post suggested he was being rested or off the bench maybe. I reckon if hes fit he plays! If he's not named he'll be injured.

If Robinson is on the bench. I'd love to see him as the lock cover on the bench and Sotutu as the backrower on the bench.

With two openside options(Papali'i and Gibson) in the starting line-up, we don't need Jed Brown. We're better served with a point of difference off the bench, and Sotutu would provide that.

Lol at the blues half backs forever

[Nepia]

Well that has a worse selectorial decision than lock at the Crusaders.

Two time title winning captain and AB great excluded for Xavier Rush.

Edit: Actually his brother should probably be there at lock too.

[KiwiMurph]

Fitzy also says hi.

[Kirwan]

Facepalm

ha ha ha, JK and Tana collaborated on the best XV to take the field

[Nepia]

@nzzp Although it appears Nucifora was outvoted when it came to Ali.

[Stargazer]

Funny that Mils appears in both the Blues All Time All Blacks XV and the Chiefs version.

[mariner4life]

That team is just so fucked. Strangely i am most upset with the inclusion of a guy who is a deadset gun.

Reiko Ioane is only #3 on the all-time pantheon of Blues left wings.
