All Blacks starting 10: Beauden Barrett or Richie Mo'unga

Experience has to count for something , if two players are relatively even , you favor the experienced one in a big game surely ,
If you get someone like a J Savea , struggling , and a younger Reiko looking the much better option, the experience part only isnt enough .

Ya need the mix. One of the reasons I think SBW keeps getting selected is because Hansen and co know he has track record at the highest level

I'd love to see the Mo'unga / BB double act tried in the pre-RWC tests, with Ioane on the bench for a game or three.
This gets Mo'unga some more big game experience while keeping BB in the fold and able to make an impression on games but from fullback, plus gives as an opprtunity to blood a third pivot should we need to bring one in during the RWC.
Imagine the panic should we suffer an injury to Richie or BB in the RWC and we hadn't given anyone else any game time.

Thank goodness Cameron has been in the setup then....
I blame Fox.

He's actually played well this year when on the park.

.....just a minor detail.
He's been nothing but impressive off field but by christ his hold on that jersey HAS to be getting tenuous. Are they really gonna hold a spot for him just in case ?

They are pretty ruthless selectors, but give plenty of leniency with injury. If they don't think he's up to it, he's for the chop. That said, on form he's magnificent - and despite the odd brain fade, has done some really good thigns at the top level in multiple sports.

Not sure how much the fern was pumping when Jeff Wilson was playing but were his cricket achievements ever mentioned to back up his All Black ones ?
In any case SBW was extremely underwhelming, full of mistakes and injury prone when in the Black jersey last year. He's injured. Again. Does anyone really think he can make it back at his advanced age and force his way back into the team ?

My comment originally was that he has the mental game, and won't choke at the top level. He's shown that in multiple sports. Stupid hits aside, he brings his A game at that level consistently. His offloading game is remarkable (still), and defensively he's a monster. Could be a year too far - but if the ABs dont' see what they want, there is a queue of people knocking on that door.

I guess I imagined that Red Card against the Lions.
Funny how even his biggest fans can't mention him without at least one negative.
