Nic berry needs to leave his cards at home.

Can this please be Rob Simmons last game in gold?

Potgeiter is the bigger, faster, stronger and meaner version of his older brother Jacques who used to play at the tahs.

Also, anyone notice not a single Highlanders player in the NZ team? Could this be a first?

Either way- Ioane/ McKenzie > Hodge/ Lolessio/ Harrison

I actually see this All Blacks team as stronger than the one named last week, my only subs would be Smith back into 9 and Clarke back in over Sevu. Absolutely frightening as a Wallabies supporter realising how little depth we have and the fact NZ could name about 3 test quality sides. o_O

Now that the Shute Shield is complete and there is no NRC, would be great to do some sort of north vs south match. Feel like there should be more rugby played.

Not sure of where Michael Allalatoa is at with a contract at the Crusaders. Watching the mitre 10 cup, he would be a pretty handy pick up for the tahs. Has he been capped by the wallabies or kiwis?

To everyone that weren’t happy with the selection of Sam Kane as captain... Just want to say, he was certainly the best man for the job. Has been an absolute warrior this year.

Actually a pretty solid looking team... I really like the backrow.

Honestly think we will see Edmed overtake Harrison.

Although he is uncapped/ young, honestly think Hosea would provide more impact across the park and have equal impact at lineout time. Can we just move on from Simmons? He is putting a hold on our new crop of talent coming through.

His experience amongst a very unexperienced group would be invaluable. Would take him any day of the week.

Looks like it will be raining all week/ weekend. Conditions will be much of the same as Sunday.

He isn't supporting his body weight 9/10 times he is going for a pilfer. How he doesn't get pinged is beyond me.

Vunivalu has been on fire recently. Really looking forward to seeing him in a Reds jersey and eventually in Gold. Can see him starting on the wing and transitioning towards 13 or 15 (Kicking may be a problem).

Surely Hanigan goes first.

:'(

Hoping these are just rumours for the changes to the teams. Samu does not deserve to be dropped out of the 23. FF (Folau Fainga'a) had a bad game, would have thought Uelese/ FF (Folau Fainga'a) would have swapped from bench to starting. Think he would click with an all brumbies front row in the second half. Petaia for Lolessio...

Would honestly rather have beanpole than him. 2nd row is looking very very very dire.
