That isn't "bad weather" in NZ

Another stuffing

I'm surprised Fluhler got the nod over du Plessis. Leti iga was always going to start being Smith's preferred wing option although I thought Wickliffe was impressive last week. Would have had Ngan-woo starting, maybe they are trying to ease her workload some.

Not exactly the top team as some have mentioned above.
Front row is best option as a combo and also means that replacement works with Connor and Taumata being FPC team mates also.
I would have thought that Ngan-woo would start with Roos on the bench
Loosies are interchangeable. I thought Simon might start with Hirini on bench but as Simon is a Co-Captain that may be a pointer to Demant only playing half a game and therefore why Tubic is on the bench.
Holmes and Tubic on bench doesn't make sense unless it is due to a plan as mentioned above because there is no midfield cover.So, pretty much the A side but possibly a couple of management picks.

I'm not. DuPlessis is better at 12 IMO and Fitzpatrick is the form 12 and making very good decisions.
I expect dP on the bench once they sort out who gets the other spot out of Tubic and Holmes.
If you are going all in on the back three then Fluhler has the instinctive combos with Tui and Woodman.
In effect Fitzpatrick provides the link between the firepower and the go forward and is the decision maker more than Demant. -
BFs need to settle. Stop flinging hail Mary passes wide. Patterns and structure please.

@Machpants long as it's good they can be wobbly!
