It's a bit of a poisoned chalice even for DMac to play first five.
He's played a fair few Tests at 10 and did OK (though his form seems to have dropped off since his injury) so there's no excuse/reason for not picking him and him going well again.
He's pretty much been just an occasional first five for the Chiefs, though, for at least the past couple of years.
But, it's a poisoned chalice for him, because he'll get judged as a first-five (see last week) - even though, in reality he's largely a fullback who can cover in a pinch.

Supposedly the team comes out at 1.30pm NZ time (11.30am local)
The sauce bottle must be blocked.

Moody, and possibly Jordie A team and in correct position. Reiko (wing) and Ardie (8 probably in Foster’s A team) are A team but moved to secondary position. Tight five have their work cut out to gel and stop the doubtless angry argies

Without them it's the C team

@crucial said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:
@hooroo necessary though.
They will have the pressure on to uphold the jersey which is good. Not often the second string get meaningful gamesthat test them.Plus, there are two Barretts, Taylor and Jacobson on the bench if required.
257 Caps on the bench, might be the most experienced bench ever.

de Groot (if fit) won't get a game until the USA now.
Patrick needs to step up as
the senior lock.a test playerFIFY
When was the last time he got game time? It's incredibly tough to come in cold.
