North vs South

@ACT-Crusader said in North vs South:
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.
yuck

@mariner4life Get used to it, with Frizzel for ABs instead of Akira

Picks itself really. SI to get dominated.
How'd you guys link to those?
I choose my team and took a screenshot.
North v South PYXV
Now that the North and South squads have been named, it's time for you to become the selector! Have your say and pick your North v South XV's. You could win tickets to the Steinlager North v South match on August 29, All Blacks Jerseys and much more! How to enter: 1. Select your North and...
Oh, I didn't actually realise we could upload pics to the Fern
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.

@Nepia Laumape is not available, so fook knows why he's in the list, the game is in 3 weeks. Maybe Sotutu will be?
I was just picking my best team from their listed players.

@Nepia upload it to imgur. No one is reading that.
I was about to say I'm too lazy to open an account but I opened the site and apparently I already have one.

If Sotutu is available, I would not select him with Akira Ioane. They don't look very complementary. If fit, Tom Robinson should be at Nr.6. But I guess Foster will choose Boshier instead. A back row with Cane - Ioane - Savea is a big probability though.

They were very complementary when they played together this season.

ALB will start at 12.
On form he shouldn't.
And I acknowledge that goes counter to who I've pout at fullback.
The SI will be stronger in the tight five than the NI but weaker in the loose forwards.
Dunno about that.
Who the heck is the number 8? I have watched every game this season and I don't recall him.

Yeah Sotutu kept getting better and better as did Aoane, that's a bit of a confusing take by cg there.

@cgrant obviously doesn’t like blondes....

South lacking at 8 and 9.
Yeah the injuries to Scott Barrett (or is he NI qualified), Blackadder and Grace have reduced their back row options significantly.
Drummond and Webber definitely a step down from Smith and TJP.
-
Evans at 8?
-
@Kiwiwomble Will still be injured?
