All Blacks vs Scotland

Crucial

@Frank I, for one, am glad we have a really early thread for this one having nabbed some tickets for it. Have never been to Murrayfield before, taking the wife and leaving the kids with her parents.

I was lucky enough to get to an ABs game at Murrayfield a couple of years back and it was a top experience!
Excellent stadium, good crowd, plenty of fun to and from the ground (the walk is a good one)
A few drinks at the west end of the new town followed by a few more on return.

I'd be keen to see AS-RM-JB-ALB
Reece, RI and BB

Yeah, it's a bit shit for Rieko but when he goes to wing he's bloody electric. I've been loathe to move him until now - with our 12 being a lot more solid I think ALB can do 13 to the same standard as Rieko and Clarke can go work on his biomechanics.

Judging by their respective efforts over the weekend I think it’s safe to say ABs by about 80

I'll take by 1

I quite like the idea of ALB coming on at 13 with 30 to go and Rieko shifting to wing.

Yeah that works for me too, but the way we've seen Rieko perform when he's shifted to wing this year does make me keen to see how he'd go starting.

@TeWaio I went there once...stadium was empty with no game scheduled, but I have been to Murrayfield

The All Blacks have also welcomed back fellow midfielders Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Braydon Ennor after they were released to the second-tier All Blacks XV last week.

All Blacks coach hints at changes for Scotland

Jordie Barrett could be facing another change for the Scotland test.

I presume Telea will get a run - otherwise it's a shame if he misses out on AB XV just to be cover (without playing).

It would be great to see Telea get a run on the left wing.

Unless there’s a bit of media games there’s hinting at a few changes. If we are going to make changes then let’s go with:

9- Christie
10- B. Barrett
11- Telea
12- J. Barrett
13- ALB
14- Reece
15- Perofeta

21- Smith
22- Havili
23- Ioane

9/10 - Blues combo
10/12 - brothers combo
13 & 14 - need more game time
11 - here’s your chance
15 - needs opportunity to stake a claim for next year.

21-23 insurance!

@ACT-Crusader i liked it better when you just picked rubbish Crusaders players. That's yuck

The fuck do we need changes for? Most of the team hadn't played in a month and a half, and the backs did 3/8 of fuck all on Saturday, should be fresh as daisies.

Frank

Not too many changes please.
Don't want Foster breaking any more records.

@mariner4life cant play 3 tough games in a row...although, when is a game not considered a tough game?

Scoring 30? 40? 50?
