@Chris dont they know half of NZ is in bed by 2230?
Fuck, how hard would it have been to name it 2 hours earlier at a reasonable hours for NZ?
Sack the lot of them, except the good ones whoever they are!
That is too easy to think of the Fans.I don't think they count in NZR greater plan.

Tyrel Lomax and Angus Ta'avao - hope the scrum can hold up.
Ta’avao I’m not too concerned about, Lomax on the other hand…

Looking at the photo (top left) it might give a clue as to the back line. Or not. Speculate away.
4 backs is certainly a novel tactic.
You would've thought an expert marksman had decent eyesight...
I see Clarke, rieko, Beauden and Quinn but pray do tell if you spot others.
Assuming Bower, Sami, Lomax, Scooter, Big Sam, Skip and Ardie locked in, only query is 6, which is Vaa’i for me.
Bench backs Reece, Mo’unga and [Christie].Bench front row Ross, Taylor, Newell.
Big question is last two, from Akira, Paddy T, Paps, Frizell and Sotutu.
Samisoni is not in any way locked in
🤔

Personally I'd have Sotutu starting, Ardie on the bench, and RTS at 12, but I know that was never gonna happen.
Happy to see Clarke back on the left wing, that's a really well balanced back 3 with him there.

Not the most inspiring of benches, but at least Taylor isn't in the mix.
Our days of the bench driving us home seem long ago.
-
I was nodding my head thinking "yeah that's probably close to the best we could hope for" and then burst out laughing when I saw Frizzell.
WTF? Why? A strictly blindside only player on the bench, next to a guy who covers 6, with a guy who covers 6 starting. Fozzie knows how to get me everytime.
-
@Bones he’s giving all the blindsides a run
