I'll take a stab at the reserves
Lomax,Taylor,Hodgman,SBarrett, AI, TJ, RI, Jordan
or if they go a 6/2 bench
Lomax,Taylor,Hodgman, Vaa’i, SBarrett, AI, TJ, JordanNo openside cover if the unthinkable happens and Cane breaks down in the first minute? Kirifi looks a good option there.
No need for two locks on the bench in my view of you’ve got Frizell in the lineup who if there are multiple injuries could cover there. Loose forward cover is what’s needed IMO.
I heard S Barrett can cover 6, 7 and 8...
Nah just 6 and 13!

right probably late enough....i believe it may look like this...
BB, JB, ALB, JG, CC, RM, AS, HS, SC, SF, SW, PT, OT, DC, KT
Bench CT, AH, TL, SB, DP, TJP, NL, RI -
@bayimports me likey, that bench is great.

Bench CT, AH, TL, SB, DP, TJP, NL, RISo Joe rested. Karl starts given the 'seasoned' member. Him vs Tupou will be worth a watch. Joride 14, notwithstanding Fern concerns.
Based on starting 15 bench entirely predictable.
Would like to see Laumape get a run inside Goodhue.
-
@bayimports That must be one of our better benches in some time, as a unit that adds a lot of penetration, mobility, and speed.
This also makes me question WTF the selectors were thinking in bled 1, have to give them credit for evolving I guess.

Perhaps the thought of seven Blues starting was too much for Fozzie?!

Ofa the only prop that was in last year's RWC squad. Those guys are going to be tested.
Bit surprised they're starting with Big Karl.
Wasn't expecting to see Laumape in the mix, but keen to see how he goes. He was in a decent vein of form before he was injured. Adds some power to the backline options.

Laumape's direct running could be bloody handy in the wet.
Ritchie knows what he can do close to set piece!

Beaudy knows being at fullback doesn't mean you are safe.

Speaking of the best players, Hamish Bidwell has an opinion:
Well that's a load of shite. Kirifi and Papalii have both had great games at Super level, it's plain wrong to suggest otherwise.
Interesting that the leading fetcher in English rugby, Jack Wills, is 6’ 3”, 17 stone, and packs a punch in D. I suspect that’s what TWM are keen to replicate.

The French captain is quite a big unit too although perhaps a bit more athletic.

If such a thing actually exists, it should be banned as an affront to human dignity forthwith.

6'6" and 17 stone. 'Quite' big! France will be VERY dangerous for 2023 at home.
Lachlan Boshier's All Blacks omission is no longer acceptable
