Holland and Kirifi are predicted to make their debuts.
Holland I can understand, but we have Lakai...

No Savea perhaps?
Edit: or resting Sititi? -
more likely Lakai starts and Kirifi comes off the bench? Which means no Sam Cane.

That cut was pretty deep...

Vaseline.

Hopefully, cut or no, we should be building for the future Vs Italy. He had his chance to end his career on a high, and fucked it with a red card

I’ll let you into a secret, Georgia couldn’t give a shit about playing C teams. They lift themselves when facing Test sides.
And why do you know the secrets to the Georgian national rugby team.
Is there a mole or are you just making shit up?

@Frye I actually think Cane leaving the arena after defeating Ireland (with an injury) is a perfect ending and somewhat poetic way to finish, given his history.
Don’t see any harm in letting TJP lead the Haka one more time and sitting Cortez. Roigard can play 79 mins.
100% have to play the best team available though.
There absolutely is harm in selecting TJP over Ratima.
Honestly, I think Ratima needs to be taken out of the firing line.
Let him sit this one out, debrief him, give him his learnings, enjoy the summer and come back stronger next year.
He has had his biggest year to date in pro rugby. I don’t want him playing against Italy and struggling.

Predicted by a random South African YouTuber...?
I can potentially see Holland debuting off the bench but Kirifi is behind Lio-Willie in the pecking order. With Cane and Lakai both likely to start, it's difficult to imagine a situation where the All Blacks have another specialist 7 in the 23, especially when Savea is quite possibly going to feature as well.

I....ahh....huh? Did you miss the games prior to the EOYT?
But yeah, who the heck is random saffa? Might as well just head down the pub and ask the first guy you see in a rugby jersey.

Bench T’Mighty/Bell/Tosi/Lakai/Lord/Ratima/DMac/Love
