DMac starts in my book. DMac was great against Ireland.
I've been waiting years for Savea to play at 7Injury will once again be the Allblacks best selector. Savea is gonna get stuck in.
In other news all aboard the #Camwagon
Choo ChooCan’t wait to see DuPonts face when he realises that Daddy is home.
Cane is still our best 7 because he does what a 7 is supposed to do.
Ardie, in an ideal situation over the next year or so, is relegated to the bench. Don’t be silly
We now have an actual 6 at 6 and an actual 8 at 8 instead of some of the three “we don’t know what they are’s” in Blackadder, Papalii, Jacobsen and then Savea, who is a position all of his own with his mutant seagulling and YouTube short catnip power plays.
We now have 2/3 of a traditional back row instead of the Jackson Pollock selection painting we have been served up in the loosies for the last 4 years.

Interesting call for DMac. Looks like most, if not all, of the squad playing in their natural positions???
BB and WJ are in their cover positions...

A few debating points but Overall I’m excited about the team , looking forward to it ,
Go ABs

I love the French National Anthem.
Err sorry -
Jalibert spat out his dummy about being put on the bench so withdrew -
Matthieu reportedly told French coach Fabien Galthié not to pick him on the bench after missing out on a starting spot to face the All Blacks.
Thomas Ramos will start at first five-eighth from his usual position at 15, alongside halfback Antoine Dupont. Jalibert was on the bench against Japan was according to reports, didn’t want to face the All Blacks from the bench.
“Everyone has their own emotions and is free to share them,” Galthié said. “We need determination, strong players. Up until now he’s always given his best. He will continue with the national team, if he so chooses. It’s down to him to decide.”

Might not be alone after Roigard gets his mojo back in the country he got his mojo on...

All Blacks sadly in their away strip this week -

Harsh on Aumua but this might go to Henry's stated belief that you can't play three hard games in a row.
Big fan of Finau and Sititi in their best position. Baffled by the choice of Savea at 7. A lot resting on Finau's shoulders here.
On face value it's harsh on DMac but they probably feel Beaudy's varied kicking sets up conditions for DMac to better exploit.

Dmac is a game changer when he comes on, if necessary to ignite. Makes sene to me, despite the accolades I don't think he was MotM last match. Indeed I remember a comment someones saying 'surely no one can advocate for DMac now?' in the match thread. But he can change the way the game is played, BB not so much anymore, and if we are after a more conservative ten style, whch seems to be the case, this is the way around to play them. We will miss his goal kickig though, that's exceptional.

Wasn't that your comment?

After they sent their B team down here earlier in the year it's only fair we go into their house and fuck them up
What? Are you posting from 2018 or the future?
Haha, no tour since 2018. Did they play the B team last time we were there in early 2023 perhaps? Either way, we've been on tour for many weeks, the players should be used to the untidiness of rucks and the importance of cleaning out. So let's fuck them up!
