RWC Week 5: All Blacks v Uruguay
-
Pretty logical selection.
Rest Reiko and some tired forwards, gets Sam & SF up to speed, more game-time for Roigard with RMo and see how DMac goes a-playmaking with RMo. Lack of midfield cover interesting though.

@pakman Irish are vulnerable at TH because they have to play Furlong deep into game and by 55 he’ll be pretty knackered.
Comedy Gold
Ox Nche says hi.
They're not playing SA again until the Final
Now THAT is comedy gold.

If I am.going to read too much into this, it's that Cam starting means he has moved past Finlay.

I would think LF is midfield cover. Any problem at 12 ALB and LF just move in one? I torn between liking the changes and not, like the idea of the 1st team running together, but also like the idea of probable replacements having some game time. I wouldn't mind seeing Blackadder get some decent time, I personally would have him on bench ahead of Papali'i in QF.

His selection on the bench vs Italy and then subsequent play off of the bench vs Italy sealed it - even for Foz.

For all the complaining about Roigard, I'd say the coaches have done a great job introducing him to test footy. They haven't rushed him, he's made every post a winner with game time increasing each test, and now has stacks of confidence going into the finals. TBH I thought the RWC was a year too soon for him to get established, but we now have a real weapon to bring off the bench that other teams have not had a good look at.
-
Other than that, who knows re: selections, the ABs will be more focused on what they are doing off the pitch right now, so each selection would have been based on each individual player and whether another hit out will do them good before the quarter.

Flushed that dunny and moved on.
