Jordie is a shoe in to start against Wales, Scotland and England.
So does Fozzie leave him at 2nd 5 for all or just a couple of those and have a scenario of perhaps Havili playing 12 against Japan and Wales and Jordie against Scotland and England?
Does Beaudie start at 10 against Japan and and then bench for Wales and then 15 for Scotland and England?
With ALB coming back you could give ALB 13 for Japan and partner with Havili. They played 5 times as a pairing last year against Wales, Boks, Oz and Fiji.
Surely they have to play Perofeta or Dmac at 10 against Japan? It's one of the few games were we can build depth.
What about Perofeta for the AB XV to start both matches? Bring DMac into the ABs for 10 and 15 cover.

Yeah, DMac doesn’t even need to play, just a dirt tracker getting back into the systems, there in case of emergency. RTS should go to XV, as he’s no where near at intl level, play him at 12 every match, he needs more time. Perofuture at 10, same thing every match. ALB to, with virtually no game time, play him 13 every match for XV. There’s f all game until RWC and NZ should maximise them all

And Darcy Swine will be back playing in November.
Far out that's the worst news possible for Tupaea. Looks like one of the worst knee injuries one can have.

Think Foster will be obviously impressed by Jordie at 12 against Oz but that will be tempered by how good or bad he thinks the Oz team actually were - similar to how some on here have attributed the win to a weak opposition, rather that a good AB performance. Foster/Schmidt probably still see Havilli and Reiko as the top pairing until they see more of JB at 12 so wouldn't be surprised to see him there against Japan and one of Scotland or Wales before he's a shoe-in at 12 for Twickenham.

I'd like to see either Perofeta or DMac. BB is a known quantity at 10.
With ALB coming back you could give ALB 13 for Japan and partner with Havili. They played 5 times as a pairing last year against Wales, Boks, Oz and Fiji.
That's a real conundrum. I'd want a fit and firing ALB in my starting team every time, but, with the current midfield permutations, where do you put him?

If Jordie used at 12, ALB to centre and Rieko to a wing.

What are your guys current All Black halfback power rankings?
Curious as to how Weber has dropped so far out of contention.
Not sold on Fakatava
Hotham + Roigard playing well in NPC
- Smith
- Christie
- Weber
- Fakatava / Roigard
- Perenara / Ratima / Roe
117th. TTT

I would maybe swap Christie and Weber, just personally I not sold on Christie.

Yes, it is the worst injury you can have as a pro sportsman.
Going by the wording, it doesn’t seem as though it is a torn ACL, which would be the worst outcome for him.
9 months is typical though for a torn ACL and it takes some time for a player to regain speed when they return to play.
Given his age, experience and the current stage of development he is at. It is disastrous for him.
He wont really be in a position to go to the RWC and be at his best.
He should lawyer up and sue Swain.
-
Yes I think he is a shoe in as well. Especially when you consider how ineffectual Havilli was against France/SA last year.
I will be massively surprised if Jordie is not at 12 against the big NH teams later this year

Pretty much agree there. Weber and Christie close. Think Ratima has lost form lately. Else spot on.

Thanks!
