@Duluth shit that is a surprise!
is it though?
No one comes in a RWC year, so that's 2 years out.
The Lions is another one out
2020 and 2021 CovidSo that's 4 tours since. 2 for France, 1 each for England and Wales.
The decade before the last visit Ireland were here in 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010
All Blacks have played in Dublin 4 times since the Irish last played in NZ
Covid has had an impact but it seems NH visits are getting less frequent. Don't know what Scotlands problem is.. they haven't been here since 2000
Bigger fish to fry than the ABs

So the 'talk' this morning is that LF comes in for Jordan, QT is at 12 and SB is at 6.
You have to wonder if this is guesswork from journos or actual knowledge as there's no mention of where Clark fits, who starts at 10, whether AS is ready......
To paraphrase Byron Kelleher this feels like 2019 all over again.

It'll be the same gameplan as 2017, too

wasnt SB at lock with Kaino on that infamous day?
A touch of irony if he would move from lock to 6 against Ireland...his last outing at 6 went well though

@taniwharugby Telea leapfrogs Bridge.
George won't mind. Probably makes a change from people running around him.

Going to be interesting to see how many of these changes have been forced on Foster and co. and how many were planned. Might be a disaster, but might be the making of some players.

@Machpants TBF, Akira probably more skills as a 13 than Manu Tuilagi.

Well his availability is marginally more anyway.

@Kiwiwomble Looks like a lay-out that is made to fit in the photo. It looks terrible.

If you mean that test in Chicago, no. The starting locks were Tuipulotu and Kaino. Scott Barrett made his test debut in that game via the bench, and actually played well. He scored a try on debut.
