I think in Fozzies master plan - bb and RM provide cover for each other if a change is need at 10 or 15.
I agree with you and think DMac is a must

A starting backline of AS, LF, JB, RI, WJ, BB
Means we could have 6-2 split on bench with CR and DM...although the way our pack is going...
No Telea? I'm going all To Dare is to Do,
Smith, LF, RM (I'm tempted by DMac for the way he plays), JB, RI, Telea, Jordan. We ain't winning squat with BB at the back, so let's go
Im with ya buddy...It's 4 years to the next one.....thats two pandemics.
We don't seem to have a team of thinkers or a team of pragmatists or a team of disciplined leaders. Most of them have no CV behind them.
Lets just pick our best weapons and see if the other nations can handle it.
The general consensus is we are getting towelled up in the quarters right? Lets give it a rattle.
Well let's see if O Mahoney fancies chasing Roigard around all night. Let's see if James Lowe fancies a bit of big Leicester down his channel all night.

ABs not as good since Roigard went off.
and since mounga came on
Don't rate him at international level at all.
Bossed the Wallabies few times and diddly squat other than that.

No limp fish for us

We have a bye week right, can we send EDG home to miss a game for southland and count to his ban 😄

@Kiwiwomble said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
how come everyone needs rest except BB and savea, is it literally because fozzie has no one else he trusts in those posititions?
Not sure on Savea,But maybe by giving BB the game against Namibia and he shines it justifies his selection going forward, well in Fosters eyes anyway.
That could be a dangerous selection game to play.Isn't it more about just there wern't players hadn't played a lot in their positions? Oh don't know if you watched last game, but Sam W and Papali'i also started both games, but we won't say anything.

@Steve said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
Clarke ever pull his hammy id be getting Finau on the phone.
Meaning a 20-13 split?
Ardie covers midfield (better than havili) and Coles the wing (better than Clarke)

MynameisGroot having a great tournament so far....

@sparky said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
Dane Coles on to be the oldest All Black in over 100 years.
Really? He only looks in his 90s at most...
-
@Steve said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
Ive watched De Groots tackle a few times at normal speed now.
There is nothing in it for me, but I admit im a dinosaur.
Ive dished out and taken hits like that in all my playing days.
He hits shoulder first, and then glances head.
I thought you were only 38 ?

@kidcalder said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
CC always looks like a 12 to me - where he can use his size and not be confused by the open spaces
Worry bout his vision at 12 though

@BerniesCorner said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
I would go SB/SW first half. SB/BR second. Roll the dice. It's got to the point where I'd go Roigard- DMac combo on at 50 minutes. No mucking about.
Not SW replacing BR? Sam has the cooler head. BR has the wear them down aggression...
