        The Brumbies guy?

        Glen Fisi’iahi

        Good to see that guy is still alive. Hopefully he actually makes the field.

          anyone else think the Counties reserve backs are a hell of a lot better than their starting backline?

            The line-up is for the 40 minutes against Taranaki. The coach is going to use all players, so I assume most of the reserves in the Naki game may be the starters against the ABs?

            Edit: well not most, but I assume there will be a different line-up for the AB game.

              Is this game being streamed for overseas viewers? Can't see it on foxtel.

                @chimoaus It's not even on tv in NZ and I haven't heard it will be streamed via the Team All Blacks website. I hope it will be, but not holding my breath. NZ is seriously backward as it comes to livestreaming (rugby) games that aren't televised.

                    pretty sure last year there was a few of the tries on the news, but that was about it.

                    Have to assume the AB analysts are recording it, so unsure why they cant stream it!

                                  Would have been cool had Taranaki picked Blake Barrett to go up against his brothers. Apparently a very good player but very much on the small side for a loose forward.

                                    @Rugger-Quizzes Yeah, would have been awesome for the Barrett family, too. Although, only Beauden will be playing with Jordie out injured and Scott being rested.

                                            All Blacks 49 - 0 Counties Manukau

                                            All Blacks tries: Sam Cane (2x), Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Lima Sopoaga, Nathan Harris, TKB, Rieko Ioane; con Lima Sopoaga (3 from 3), Damian McKenzie (4 from 4)

                                            Counties: -

                                            DMac played on the wing at the time that Sops scored his try.

                                              Gotta love the cunning plan of having no numbers so that any potential citing becomes difficult to prove. Should have had them in balaclavas as well.

                                                    I don't know but he has gone from looking reasonably cool to looking like James Parsons in an after match interview.
