    Pretty stoked for Nelson to get a test match! When is the team named?

    Chocolate fish for the poster that can name the starting 15, 10 days out

    It's only a bunch of dagos. Fuck them. They should be thankful it's not Levin or Gore

    @allblacksfan72 would be interesting given of that line up Ardie, Nehe, Frizzel, TTT and TJ all playing M10 cup this weekend...whereas Mounga not, and he hasnt played since the final.

    Would think ALB in line to start too, and isnt SBW due back?

    @allblacksfan72 Sam Whitelock has played a lot of minutes this year and I think they will play him off the bench as a result. They should have selected an extra lock in the squad imo so that we could have given both our rock star locks some time off during the RC.

    @akan004 hasn't Retallick had a fair bit of time off already? He's in fantastic form, will be world player of the year easy at this rate. Don't rest him!

    Personally I'd pick only one of Mo'unga and TTT in the XXIII.

    I'd lean towards starting Richie outside Smith.

    Haven't given a lot of thought outside of that.

    Maybe start Savea to give Cane a rest and have Squire cover the loosies from the bench. Don't see a need for an out and out 7 on the bench.

    @booboo Smith seems the most similar to Hall so that may work well.

    My concern would be the Argie loosies were beasts in their last game, so maybe only rest Cane.

    @bones assuming Cane is ok, for me, he falls in same category as Crotty given he has had numerous head knocks..granted some knocks he has passed the HIA, but he also chose not to come back on on 2 occasions IIRC.

    For me, he shouldnt play next week.

    @taniwharugby yeah definitely. That's why I wouldn't want to rest Squire also. If only they'd selected Gibson we could have rested the whole loose trio and just played him.

    This is the perfect game to rest Whitelock. Start Barrett and have Hemopo on the bench.

    Actually, why shouldn't we do a Cricket Australia and relegate our neighbours to second tier venues for 30 years or so? We should in all seriousness send a message to the ARU and host the Wallabies next year in Invercargill.

    GFY.

    Invented rugby in New Zealand - you'd be watching soccer or handball (probably maypole dancing if it had been left to the Waikato) if it weren't for the farsighted Nelsonians.

    Been a test venue since the RWC in 2011.

    We could even accidentally send that message by playing them in Christchurch.

    @bones True but I want them both to be fresh when we play Ireland and England and don't want them to get injured playing a team we should beat fairly easily. Can't lose to both those fluffybunnies.

    Never thought I would say this but I probably hate losing to the Irish more than to the English now. The Irish fans have been incredibly cocky since their one victory in a hundred years.

    I dont know if it will be wholesale changes. I think it will more be minutes played, so maybe sub early. the starting 15 might be pretty solid with bench the big change.
    Retallick, Moody, Franks, Read, Squire haven't played a lot of minutes in super rugby and with Crotty and Rieko back i think they could be only major changes.
    everyone is also saying Richie to start but remember that Mackenzie is next in line. Think of Sopoaga it took him a looong time to get ob field, even if Mounga is an upgrade.
    Only thought is they will want to rest some people but may do that when travel to Argie/SA as they like to send some to SA before tour party arrive. I also think they will want to now win Rugby Championship before they head over there.
    Possibly

    J Barrett or Mackenzie a start
    Naholo
    ALB (coaches did say Goodhue had played a lot of minutes)
    Crotty
    Iaone
    Barrett
    Perenara
    Read
    Cane
    Squire
    Barrett
    Rettalick
    Tuungafasi
    Taylor
    Moody

    Karl T
    Perry
    Harris
    Hemopo
    Whitelock
    TTT
    Barrett or Mackenize
    Laumape

    On the principle that tests should be hosted by First Division Unions, the options are pretty much Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Nelson and New Plymouth.

    New Plymouth's stadium has been condemned so Nelson it is!

    Hooray!!!

    GFY as well! 🙂
