<p>I'd change:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>15. Damian McKenzie</p>
<p>11. Nemani Nadolo</p>
<p> 9. Brad Weber</p>
<p> 6. Jordan Taufua</p>
<p> 5. Mark Abbott</p>
<p> 4. Scott Barrett/Michael Allardice</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really hope that Rennie will give Weber more game time because yesterday he had immediate impact.</p>
<p>Mark Abbott had a huge game for the Canes last night; based on that I put him on the list, although Sam Whitelock was good as usual and could have been on my list, too.</p>
<p>Same with Michael Allardice, who really seems to play well with Retallick.</p>
<p>Feel free to accuse me of having my Magpies hat on :biggrin:</p> -
No SG, no Chiefs forwards

<p>I'm all for as many Crusaders getting named in this XV as possible, but <strong>what did Jone Macilai do to warrant selection</strong>? Not saying it was his fault, the ball simply didn't come his way.</p>

<p>He was better than the rest :idiot2:</p> -
Second week in a row where the 14s have been quiet. I havent watched the chiefs game but based on the others maybe would pick Faddes. He kept Savea pretty quiet. Macilai hardly saw the ball. Just on that i reckon if Nadolo had popped the pass instead of steamrolling the blues fuulback macilai could have been in. Nadolo had drawn about four tacklers.<br><br>
Edit: just realised ive been spelling Macilai wrong. Dammit. -

<p>I was told last week that we could put in NZ teams whoever we like. I've taken it as "whoever has a link with NZ rugby" (NZers in NZ or other teams, and non-NZers in NZ teams).</p> -
