@Yeetyaah They were going to call up extra players for the RC squad, weren't they? Maybe not as many as initially planned, but still some extras. So they'll probably include an extra winger/outside back, even if they initially didn't plan to include one.

The second is quite likely - but, I'm slightly inclined to think they'll look at a few errors by Rieko and revert to last year's order.
Whatever midfield we think we need, I hope to god they pick a combo and play it.
I suspect this is the JG/RI option. Jack to provide muscle beside Richie, strength and support lines, and Rieko to split rush defence by having amazing acceleration and footwork in a bit of space.
Their first games together, and I think the first start in those positions for both. Can see them perservering, and getting a damn sight better (praying emoji thingy).
Also, we need a name for rat face Foster and his clan
Foster, MacLeod and Plumtree. We've had the Cartel and the Zoo ... what next?

The bar. Foster is a beer, MacLeod sounds like a vineyard and Plumtree sounds like a cider.

McLeod’s Brewery is Northland, New Zealand’s premier independent, craft brewery making award-winning beer in a range of styles for every palate, every day.
They charge 9.99 for a 500 ml Pilsner with Kaitaia fire thrown in. I did the typical Scots alternative, got a heinie and added my own hot sauce but it sank to the bottom.

To be fair you’ve nailed my Achilles heel quite well, awkward with cricket coaching season upon us

@KiwiMurph Have to be one of those two, if Sevu is still going to be released to Ta$man.
I reckon we'll now see:
Smith, Mo'unga, Clarke, ALB, Goodhue, Barrett, Barrett
Perenara, Ioane, Jordan - picking another "wing" makes more sense than picking another "fullback".
If Bridge was fit I hope they were seriously thinking a Barrett/Bridge/Clarke back 3.

Watching the Breakdown from Tuesday to see Grant Fox. He seems unusually defensive, particularly about the back selection. Very closed body language.
Very un Fox-like I'd say. Seems agitated. Doesn't fill me with joy. He's either got shingles (and can't sit comfortably), or he's genuinely concerned.
Fox starts about 20 minutes in
