Grant Fox just said it's a 3-test Bledisloe.
It is now that the first test of 4 was a draw

Just the way we like it! First to win 2 tests takes it home.
That of course if there’s not another draw this Sunday...least it’s not a loss aye Fozz

@Hooroo yeah, if I were a selector I'd keep on with the combination. Midfield is hard - and he's got so much upside at 13 it's worth perservering.
That said, I'm not sure why they have picked Goodhue at 12. There must be a reason, but he seems so much a better 13
Size. I think they prefer a physical 12.

@Crucial defensively Goodhue was good, think I only saw 1 missed tackle, but its also his work at securing ball he does an awful lot too, but he does that at 13 also.
He only touched the ball a couple of times going forward, I think he could make a good 12, but he isnt a world class 12 at the moment, but we know he is a world class 13, although will he still be if he gets put back there.
It was a bit odd that ALB went to 13 but I guess that they didn't want to potentially upset the 10/12 thing as RM was getting worse at that stage and there was no replacement for him.
I will give RM a tiny bit of slack as he got smashed late at least twice and was heavily targeted with hits to stop him being on his feet for second phase attacks
If that's how easy it is to throw him off his game then it really makes one wonder if he has the minerals for test footy

Josh Ioane has been brought in to camp.
Not good news, that’s Beaudy out I guess?

Hopefully, this means
10 Mo'unga
15 J Barrett
22 J IoaneI don't want Dmac anywhere near that first five position.
QFT, amen
Probably won’t be though

Good news in that the selection choices will be simpler, but bad news that Mo'unga will remain at 10.
