Italy vs All Blacks
-
Are Italy still bad? Because that team should ruin them. Unless there's a another sporting event that has broken a century long curse and everyone's gone sight-seeing and celebrating.

@kiwimurph yeah a few players that shey shoulda run with, they have gone back to lazy Fifita when you have a workhorse like Papali'i, Mounga deserves a start, also think think yhey shoulda tried ALB-Goodhue in the mid-field!

Tana was right. Reiko covering 12
-
@mariner4life Surely ALB would move in one position.

er, Jordie covering 12 bro!
-
Ardie to 12 boys
-
By the way, this is clear evidence that Read and B Barrett have been demoted to the B-Team #scapegoats

@mariner4life Seems weird to play Read again, or is this an admission that they didn't pick a backup number 8?

He got on the wrong flight and ended up in South America.

Confirmation of the side:
They wasted a chance to look at Papali'i at 6. There was some reports earlier in the week that Savea was carrying a few niggles so maybe that forced the decision. Ardie to play as long as he can and Papali'i to come on at 7?

Amen brother.

Is this about tough games on the trot, plus a challenge to guys like Read to improve from last week? I get Hansens point about their trip of playmakers but Jodie at wing is odd imo. Unless they see him and DMac swapping about a shitload or something. Would have loved to see laumape and goodhue starting, but ALB at centre will def create options.
-
They like Jordie and want to see if he can play wing in ABs system. They don;t see him as a midfielder or ten unless emergency, but still want him to be pushing for inclusion in the 23 - that means more position coverage 'paraphrase from another article'
