I don't get the love for BB at 10.
People who think it's still 2016.

@KiwiMurph and lets not forget...loads of BB's highlight reel he's wearing 22...not 10 or even 15...always has been excellent at raising the tempo against a tiring opposition

@JK how long do you persist with an injury prone player like Blackadder? If he has two more injuries in the space of year I’d be tempted to invest in someone else. I love his intensity in principle but now what are our 6 options. I’d rather have someone like Akira.
Not sure why you're asking me? I cant stand Blackadder, nor have I commented on him in recent times. Try @Bones or @mn5 those two just love a chat about random crap. All the best.
To be fair it’s often random Rugby related crap.

If you leave someone out of there for long enough, people will eventually forget how things went last time they were tried in that certain position.

@Canes4life more than a few
say 10% of supporters are planks. Still leaves us with a few million dickheads with access to social media...and therein lies the problemHave a great one!

Now let’s not go too far, he played a lot of great footy at 10 and plenty of amazing highlights too. But in my view we hung on for a little long because his form and the way he played started to slip.

@ACT-Crusader i'll admit this so not a extensively researched point...but it does feel his razzle dazzle stuff just doesn;t fly as often against fresh legs and is a bit out of place early in a game....but against blokes who have done 60mins...and we're either trying to catch up/change the game...or extend and put the game to bed....it can be glorious

I have a hunch the more important aspect might be Beauden himself being fresh. Looks to me like his decision-making goes to shit after he's played 60 minutes, and then it's all just hail mary.

Shit eh. Who would’ve thought. My sources are correct.

@reprobate could be yeah, might be both, perfect storm

FFS sititi at 6, a position he's never started at since when? Against SA, in SA, in his third test. Razor had lost the loose forward plot. Will Jordan shit the bed at fullback? I reckon he will.

Which confirms there are posters on here with very good sauce.
Pleased to see Ratima starting. I feel his speed of execution will bolster the benefits of McKenzie's game.
Now we just need Barrett the Jordie to make better decisions...

There is very little impact on that bench overall.
Yup, aumua could be impactful, I guess. And Beaudy had this season. But ofa only impact will be stupid penalties and cards. Fletcher is nothing. That is a vanilla bench

I just edited my post and looks like we completely agree.

I’ll freely admit to not knowing the intricacies of loose forward play like some on here but I will say that Sititi playing six in his third test in a game of this magnitude is absolutely FUBAR
Hopefully some one wise can tell when he last started at six in a first class game, if ever
