Springboks v All Blacks I

@KiwiMurph I hadn't realised Laulala wasn't touring either, as that wasn't mentioned when the squad was announced.
A big risk to only have 2 THs in the squad if one gets injured late. Using Bower would mean both de Groot and Ross would be in the 23. Feek and Ryan will earn their money that week.

Yep mate it was announced when team named, thats why Lomax was named, same as Dickson and Ennor.

I wonder if Jason Ryan had any input into Newell being called up.
The plan is all starting to come together.
Ardie to get COVID and Grace called in 😉

I wouldn’t worry about it. South African always play fair, they’ll just go with Golden oldies scrums.

Lomax was there for the unavailable Ta'avao (for test 1).
With Angus Ta’avao, Brodie Retallick and Jack Goodhue making their way back from suspension and injury, the All Blacks selectors have called in temporary cover. Braydon Ennor, Tyrel Lomax and the uncapped Josh Dickson will join the squad for the South African leg of the tournament.
Bower now is the senior prop with 9 test starts.
-
@KiwiMurph yeah, while I expect they had thier eye on him anyway (or should have) they would have asked for his input too.

Who was the TH option if not Newell?
Jaeger?
Thats the only other one I could think of who would have been considered.

Saula Ma’uAwesome shit Christopher ...
- Moli. Like him. Is he 100% fit yet?
- Jager. As above.
- Fidow. Is he any good in scrum? And isn't he leaving?
- Williams. Thought he was predominantly LH?
The rest ... I'm ignorant ...
