No Whitelock or Ennor. Presumably both injured. I hope the All Blacks don't end up needing them.
I wish they'd move McLeod back to 12 or alternatively pick Poihipi rather than Finau. And we really need to blood another genuine lock ie Tucker rather than utility forward Grace.

Well that all makes too much sense so that will not happen as the selections have been shit all season

So we start the game with two midfielders on the wings and replace one with a first-five-eighths-cum-fullback in Gilbert, while McKay is also historically a 10. They're all local lads (CC, CBHS and STAC) but goes to show we struggle to produce wingers, or perhaps lose them elsewhere and have to manufacture them.
