All Blacks v Japan

Sititi-Roigard-DMac. Plenty of go forward there.
Might have a new no 8 by years end.
Razor needs to look after Ratima too. The guy has been brilliant for us this year. -

Suggests they (currently) see Ratima as their number one halfback.
I think they will be happy for him to start while giving Cam plenty of time to build his fitness
I don't think fitness is the issue, it's more getting his confidence back by playing minutes. I think there's nothing wrong with Ratima starting on this tour with Cam coming off the bench but I feel that role will be reversed once Roigard is back up to speed again.
Roigard is the future.
Freak of a player.
I’ll just tag @Canes4life so he can get on the bandwagon
Fuck Roigard is the man.

I hate to ask where a comma would go.

This is the only match on this tour that I am feeling fully confident about. Japan are poor and not really going anywhere at the moment. I think we could lose any and all of the other four Test matches.
Maaaaaaaaaaate Japan are going to push NZ hard, maaaaaaaaaaate, maybe even a win maaaaaaaaaaaaate

Can anyone summarize UK viewing options

Interesting to see Malo Tuitama on the wing, the Wellington Lion that got away.

Good test for Proctor actually, really rate Riley.
He's no Riley Higgins.....
Well yeah he can tackle as well as run!

@Machpants I expect to see Ratima and McKenzie in the halves still...
As mentioned here, DMac starting in Japan means razor see'experienced' ten Beaudy as top choice

I disagree, I think they're giving McKenzie a run against Japan so that he doesn't go into the England match having not played decent minutes in over a month.
Could be wrong!

That would mean 4 games in a row, can't see it. There's a reason why the to team went to UK, so they can prepare for a torrid 3 weeks

So you don't think Sam Cane or Wallace Sititi are in the top team either then?
McKenzie played five games in a row for the Chiefs to round out the Super season, had one weekend off and then played three more in a row for the All Blacks. I suspect he can handle four games in a row now after a four week break.

The Japan midfield is pretty robust with both Riley and McCurran.
