Okay I'd go with:
Props: Williams, De Groot, Bower, Lomax, Newell, Tosi
Hookers: Taylor, Taukei'aho, McAlister
Locks: S Barrett (c), Vai'i, Tuipolutu, Holland
Back Row: Blackadder, Finau, Jacobson, Savea, Papalii, Lakai, Sititi
Half Backs: Ratima, Roigard, Hotham
First Five: Beauden Barrett, DMac, Reihana
Midfield: Jordie Barrett, Quinn Tupaea, Reiko Ioane, Billy Proctor, Tavatavanawai
Back Three: Reece, Jordan, Love, Carter
Will be hard to leave Reihana out after that. Will be intriguing to see if they make any last minute changes. I don’t think Carter makes it after tonight, wasn’t great under the high ball and was left in no man’s land on a number of occasions. I think Narawa gets in ahead of him.
Would love to see this backline at some point: 9. Roigard 10. Love 11. Clarke 12. Tupaea 13. Proctor 14. Reece 15. Jordan.

@sparky I think that hotham isn’t quite ready for test footy yet - I honestly think that Christie has come back and played his best footy of his career this year and could/should make his way back
Get off the forum Finlay.

Waiting for super rugby form to be key this year...

@KiwiMurph It ain't pretty, but he can do a job there.
Quinn Tupaea Vs Jordie Barrett for the 12 jersey is a very tight call. Both very good players.

Razor prolly still loves DH...

I'd like to see QT but Jordies boot and utility might give him an edge

The more I think about it the more I would like to see Reihana in black right now
He is a proper 10 with a proper kicking game. Something we are crying out for.
I hope he gets treated better than Plummer, another proper 10 who won the SR title before being selected

Had the exact same thought.
