Well the Blues are proving that Foster is a selecting genius tonight.(apart from Christie)
So who shows foodies genius?
If that's auto replace at work that's genius.
It was, I saw it, and left it. Well done GBoard

Real issues at tighthead.
Ofa's scrum problems were evident again tonight, and he had Romano packing behind him. I think all 3 THs in the AB squad will have been put on notice because I don't expect them all to be at RWC 2023.

Real issues at tighthead.
Would be seriously looking at giving Franks a recall. Known quantity and a reliability at set piece, tackle and breakdown. Who cares if he isn't a carrying option. At least we would have the ball to do something with.
Like your thinking, so something like…
G. Bower
C. Taylor
O. Franks
S. Whitelock
B. Retallick
S. Barrett
T. Chief (capt)
T. Blue
T. Lander
R. Mo’unga
L. Fainga’anuku
D. Havili
J. Goodhue
S. Reece
W. Jordan -
@ACT-Crusader TBF, that side with the right game plan, would be perfectly fine in black

Star All Black injury concern: Veteran played with broken thumb in final
All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock could be in doubt for the start of the Ireland series.

He was specifically asked how his thumb was after the game and he said it was OK. I think the article is blowing up that it wasn't fully healed.

I'm surprised he didn't say it has fallen off yet so I'm good.

If GOAT can play a RWC on a broken foot, Sam can play with a broken thumb

I'm picking Goodhue starts at 2nd 5.
Either is fine by me as long as they play like they did last night.
And Ireland play like the Blues?

Well, I hope Reiko has a bit more impact than he did last night.

@Victor-Meldrew well alot will depend on our forwards.
If Ireland shut us down like the saders shut the Blues down, then, nope....but I do hope that game gave Foz & Co some thoughts about gameplans...

I'm still picking it will be Jack, as well - because Fozzie won't have forgotten that Dave struggled to get over the advantage line against the better teams last year.
But, Dave has certainly played better than the other contenders in the past couple of weeks.
