All Blacks vs Springboks - Twickenham

@taniwharugby I do but it's pretty pointless
-
Given the team has already been named the delay to a wider audience adds nothing but pissing off loyal supporters
-
I heard it was being named about 11.30pm nz time

named publically, many people already know who is in the team as internally announced generally over 1-2 days prior historically and then those who get the sauce...

So we have picked all of our available locks and loosies, and 1 out of our 5 selected outside backs. Marvellous.
Just thinking that about locks and loosies.
-
@reprobate My guess is that the extra outside backs are about two very specific opponents (not the Boks).
One where the coaches think we’ll need as much pace as we can on the Wing, another one where they think we’ll need power.
Taking both Narawa and Clarke rather than a utility forward like Cullen Grace still looks like a mistake.

Reasonably close to our strongest line-up, considering who are and who aren't available, although I'd prefer Fainga'anuku in the 23 jersey.

Wonder if Taylor carrying an injury?
Was wondering the same thing.

Frizell's injury has really stuffed things up. I like Jacobson but I think too small against a big Bok pack. I think this is why they've gone with a 6-2 split on the bench. Have we ever gone this route before?
I would've preferred to see Vaa'i partner Whitelock and push Barrett out to 6 with a traditional split on the bench ie, Lord and Papali'i. This way you could've put DMac on the bench against a tiring Bok team.
