Havili, ALB, Clarke, Beaudy.....fucking hell
Is it me, or is that starting XV very similar to the one that ended the game against France?
Maybe they are looking for more cohesion/game-time from the A team replacements.

@nostrildamus maybe....i mean Dmac has over a hundred super games and 41 tests....you'd hope he wouldn't need too much baby sitting
I just don't see the need to play BB against Namibia.
I 100% agree....Although I have a tenner on him for top tournament try scorer at 100/1.

Dane Coles is about to achieve something no All Black has for 102 years.
When the veteran hooker is injected off the bench in Saturday’s (NZ time) Rugby World Cup match against Namibia in Toulouse, he will, at 36 years and 279 days, become the second-oldest All Black of all-time.

Ma’a Nonu still looks in good enough nick to smash this record out of the fucken park
As a back no less.
I’d take him over any 12 in the squad, even Jordie.

Whilst I agree in isolation in relation to BB, as I said somewhere else, keeping BB for this game gives you a better look at Roigard and DM
Throwing WJ into 15 just makes the backline potentially even messier
I think playing BB this game is completely about seeing other players rather than him

Coles is older than Whitelock?

That is a sensible counter argument but I'm trying to build myself up into a dark maelstorm of despair here!

@nostrildamus my bad, apologies!
-
Hoping the guys deliver a strong performance, no significant injuries and no cards.
