North vs South

@Bovidae said in North vs South:
ALB will start at 12.
The SI will be stronger in the tight five than the NI but weaker in the loose forwards.
Tight fives about equal
Advantage North in the loosies
Advantage North in the halves.
12-15 about equal each side (depending on whether DMac can shake of his Gatland-20 virus) -
@Bovidae said in North vs South:
@mariner4life Which part?
The SI props will be Moody/Hodgman and Laulala/Lomax. Throw in Taylor and the locks.
Form props, form lock. Taylor I'll give you. I reckon the tight 5 battle will be close. Loose forwards is daylight.
And half back. And outside backs.

Everyone is forgetting one thing. North Is are pussies

@antipodean More Ardie related trolling, esp with Robinson broken

Picks itself really. SI to get dominated.
How'd you guys link to those?

Ardie doesn't make my starting lineup either, but obviously he's in the 23, if we were allowed to pick those, as the impact forward.

it's his best position

Ardie is not a test match #8.

The assumption is the big ginger from Northland is available. But IMO Ardie hasn't been playing better during SR Aotearoa than any of the back three I've selected.

@antipodean fuck, now you've done it

Oh, I didn't actually realise we could upload pics to the Fern

Akira - Cane - Savea seems the most likely starting loose trio for the North Island. Whether they are the ‘form’ three doesn’t really matter as I think they’d (AB selectors) will want to see what these three can do together.

Edit: My screenshot was too large.
My differences from yours (so I don't have to write the whole thing out):
Walker-Leaware instead of Scrafton (need at least one Magpie in there).
Akira at 6 and Hoskins at 8.
Laumape and ALB in the midfield.
Reiko on the left wing and Clarke on the right.Edit: Jesus, I'm having a multiple facepalm day, thought I was editing my original post, not bloody quoting myself.
