North vs South

For North:
Hodgman on the bench at loosehead.
Rettalick isn't available. Goodhue to start. GCT is a bench option. Any other lock options? Not much depth.
ALB/Ioane is probably better than Laumape/ALB.
Robinson to start at six, Savea on the bench.
Black on the bench.
Must be a better option than Aso.
For South: Oli Jaeger is a tighthead not a loosehead.

@Tim Savea on the bench? Is this another joke of yours?
Didn't Hodgman play for Canterbury first aswell?

Yeah, Hodgman did. He replaces Jaeger.

No Dalton Papali'i in your teams ? (no Luke Jacobson either ?).
"Chiefs flanker Luke Jacobson has been ruled out of the remainder of Super Rugby Aotearoa due to injury."
Might be a factor, timing wise.
I'd have Dalton on the bench, covers 6 and 7.

I would like to echo what other people say about the silly elibigility criteria. However, I don't see the point in this sort of game at all, whatever the criteria. We are already having each team playing 8 Super Rugby derbies in a row - do we really need more of the same. I would rather the players just have a rest and get into Mitre 10 Cup.

Agreed, I have little interest in this game outside of it's a game of rugby.
TBH, if they want an extra game then I'd rather they have a final to the Super Rugby Aotearoa than a North v South almost, kinda, sorta of origin.

Oli Jager ? Isn't he an Irishman ? There's probably a better nz choice and you have selected him as a LHP while he is a specialist THP.
