I think it should be the same side that played Italy, but I wonder if Fozzie needs to justify his 5 wings and role out LF and CC. Also be tough on Blackadder to travel and not play any minutes.
Na, if he plays he’ll lose his Charlie Ngatai like aura.

i think we SHOULD give the rest of the squad a run out....and Uruguay have shown a little fight...so this might be closer than Italy...but still a comfortable win

Top team with early subs.

Agree with this, though I’d happily drop Smith completely and give Roigard 80mins
I just don’t want to see any minutes for the guys who have no shot at making the QF 23 - for me that’s Vaa’i, Christie and Havili at the minimum

For Foster that’s his version of the bomb squad off the bench.

I just threw up a little in my mouth

Pretty difficult to tell who they will pick for this, as it may depend on what they are doing with each player off the field to keep them match fit and ready for the quarter. All we want is the W, bonus point and no injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if we are a bit flat for this TBH with a view to just doing enough.

Get thru, zero injuries, rest the players that need a rest, more game time for key replacements (DMac, Roigard, Sami T, poss. ALB) will do me.

Surely now is the match to give the squad guys a run, the risk of injury is bad enough, but in modern rugby the risk of suspension is just as high. We can't risk that in a nothing game. I doubt we will learn much from this game anyway so get the win get the BP then move on.

And no cards ...
Big ask ...

So the "A" side would have played 1 test in 6-7 weeks by the QF. When cohesion has been one of the several glaring issues of Fosters reign, you want to see more changes in a side that has barely played? Injuries will happen. What's worse, lack of playing time or risk of injury?
