Wales v All Blacks 30th Oct NH Tour

@mikethesnow Then it is almost certain to be closed.

You can pick your Wales starting XV here.

Still looks a very good team, especially the forwards, but bench won't be as experienced as that of the 6 Nations side.

Ellis Jenkins was MOTM in win against SA but got injured and was out for 2 seasons
Can play 6 or 7
Balham is a real dog, playing well for the Dragons
Had a couple of caps

With the opening game falling outside the agreed international window, Wales head coach Wayne Pivac will be without England based players Dan Biggar, Taulupe Faletau, Louis Rees-Zammit, Callum Sheedy, Nick Tompkins, Christ Tshiunza and Thomas Youngs.
There are also fitness doubts over other members of his 38-strong squad, including Ellis Jenkins and Liam Williams
I'll admit to not having heard of the last four of those seven listed English based players.
How many of them are first choice?
And also not fully across Jenkins (although @MiketheSnow did I see you pick him?).
So how weakened will Wales be really?

You can scratch Halaholo from that team. Has Covid.
Gutted for Willis
On great form
But Scott Williams is a good replacement

3 for sure 5 maybe as there are other injuries they would cover (the first 5 on the list) but I’m not an expert on Wales
-
@mikethesnow The list of loosies who are out is truly impressive, including two Lions!

Ellis Jenkins was Lions bound until he suffered a 2-year injury in his MOTM performance against SA in 2018 Autumn test
Very strong over the ball; dynamic defender; intelligent ball player

@MiketheSnow I read that a few of the Welsh team had yet to be vaccinated. Has it been mentioned if Halaholo was one of those?

My XV
That team is a long long way from the shit team I’ve been reading about.
Lots of seasoned 6N players, coupla lions and some rookies.
Wales aren’t out if this mate.

Yeah there has been a lot of bullshit about this test, yes they are without some of their best due to the timing, but it is not like the Tonga game where they could only pick a bare handful of players with experience and caps.
