@tim said in Italy vs All Blacks:
So what's the pack going to be?
Tuungafasi
Harris
Laulala
Tuipulotu
Retallick
Papalii
Savea
ReadTu'inukuafe
Coles
Franks
Barrett
FifitaProvided someone does the donkey work it would be great to see Fifita get a run and get a hat trick.
-
-
@tim Angus tauvao must be either starting or on bench I would think
-
@allblacksfan72 Ah, had forgotten he was on tour.
-
-
For all the commotion that was made about releasing Matt Todd from his Japanese contract,he hardly played 20 minutes in the 2 most important tests of the tour..what was the point..?
-
has Fifita played 8, although could put Savea at 8....
I know it'd be raw, but put Read on the bench and start Papali'i, Savea and Fifita
whats the worst that could happen

A lot of ball running and no one doing any work ?
-
@mn5 we'll be scoring soooooo many tries to make up for the last 2 weeks, we wont need to!

Dalton would have to have one of his 25 tackle games with that combo.

It'd be like Jonah rugby.....Fifita could bump off all 15 on the way to the line.

Reuben Thorne is awarded a retrospective knighthood?

@donsteppa I'd of thought Italy winning, but ok...
-
Put it this way, if we lose to Italy, then i want everyone sacked. Everyone.

Sacked ? don't you mean killed ?

And the squad has to stay in Italy. Citizenship revoked.

@donsteppa exiled to Somalia would be better!

fuck off, that sounds awesome. Villas in Tuscany are pretty cheap. Drop them somewhere shit.
No, that's harsh. They can come home. It's just they have to move to Palmerston North.

To be fair that call was made many weeks ago without current knowledge of form and injuries.
You have to make an all or nothing call at that time -

Fuck imagine how much we all would've climbed into them if they hadn't. Savea gets injured in the captains run for England. I guess it would've given us a chance to see Goodhue at 7, reckon he'd be a cracking openside.
-
Reckon they should pick:
-
Karl (KT needs game time, Ofa stays on bench)
-
Coles (game time after injury, rest Cody, Harris to 16)
-
Laulala (rest Franks, Ta'avao to bench)
-
BBBR
-
Barrett (Tuipulotu on bench)
-
Fifita (prove you're up to it, Hemopo on bench)
-
Aardie
-
Read
-
TTT (start time for a younster)
-
Mo'unga (start time for development)
-
Ioane
-
ALB (my favourite midfielder outside of Goodhue, and potential to check their combo)
-
Goodhue (the more starts the bettef for the young fulla)
-
Waaaai, Saaaaake, Naaa-hoooool, low
-
BFA
-
Harris (give Cody a break)
-
Ofa
-
Ta'avao
-
Paddy T
-
Hemopo (ok, so no open side reserve ... it's Italy ...)
-
TJP (best halfback currently)
-
DMac / Laumape*
-
DMac / NMS*
- rest BB, probably go for Ngani and DMac. Not sure NMS has it any more

@bovidae said in Italy vs All Blacks:
@booboo You'll have all those Blues supporters up in arms! Papalii.
Oh yeah.
Yeah ... well that's got me thinking maybe we start him at 6 ... and he covers 7 as well. Fifita is a waste of a cap IMO.
-
I’m not even going to name a side this week, they don’t deserve it
-
NMS well gone, so won't be there, as is SBW, Whitelock, and Squires. Is Fafita with the squad in Europe? Hemopo was never in core squad. Only Laumape has been called in as a replacement.
@booboo team doesn't have Jordie B, I'm sure he'll get a run. So you'll need to squeeze in pimply giraffe, Naholo, Harris, Tuipuloto, Fafita, Ta'avao, Papaili, TTT, and probably Laumape - cos everyone will have to get a run in the squad I reckon. Unless the game against Japan will count for their game time.
