3. Owen Franks
4. James Blackwell
5. Walker-Leawere
6. Reed Princep
7. Duplessis Kirifi
8. Ardie Savea
9. Jamie Booth
10. Jackson Garden-Bachop
11. Bailyn Sullivan
12. Jordie Barrett
13. Billy Proctor
14. Julian Savea
15. Ruben Love

Thought Tyler Laubscher played too well on debut that he needs to be dropped to keep Princep higher on the pecking order. Aidan Morgan was far too threatening on attack to be considered next week, JGB it is. Thought Sullivan has been the form #13 in the country just about so it’s a good time to move him to a new position. Sangster had too much impact around the field and made too many meters so he’ll need to play for the B team this week. Billy Proctor scored a try so it’s a good chance for him to keep the 13 jersey for the next 2 years. Thought Rayasi was starting to hit form so it’s a good time to fuck with his head by dropping him too.

He has fucking bottled that, it’s a clear red and the tmo was spelling it out

Marshall is a fuckwit, that was absolutely deliberate

@Canes4life Sam Canes Chiefs have about 7000. Those fans sure love a quality openside

Moli played the full game. Ta’avao, Laulala and Tuungafasi played 1/3 of the game each. Ta’avao subbed at 26. Laulala at 52 and Tuungafasi played the rest. Think it was strategic as Tuungafasi replaced Laulala (17 for 18)

Sam cane hasn’t even been that bad, his team has. Dillon Hunt? 😂

Argentina look shithouse and South Africa look really really really dominant.

That’s all u guys need to know if u haven’t watched the game. It was a shit load of penalties given away from Argentina because Sourh Africa were too dominant.

@nzzp 4? A good start is 1

@Billy-Webb Watling has always been a G.O.A.T under pressure. Would love to see his average when under press vs with no pressure on. When there is no pressure he doesn’t cash in as much as other batsmen to pad their stats

@kiwi_expat sounds like you have Jordies cock stuck down your throat. Open the other eye and look at the good Dmac does and the mistakes that Jordie makes for once you guys. Neither are perfect, neither are bad players. Both have their different attributes. The coach deems one as the better fit #15 for our team. And that coach knows a bit more about rugby than the rest of us.

I’m sick of some of you eye-patch “supporters” hating on certain players and cherry picking everything about them. Look at them from a fair perspective and open the other eye. The person you put on a pedi stool makes a shit load of mistakes too but you would never acknowledge it because it doesn’t support your agenda.

That has been my Ted talk.

Watching the white ferns cricket… NZ vs Eng I’m not sure I’ve seen a worse cricket match ever…. Usually they’re pretty good but holy fuck that was like under 5s level some of the stuff going on

@Bones what

@Duluth nzbloke?

1. Bower

2. Taylor

3. Laulala

4. S. Barrett

5. Whitelock

6. A. Ioane

7. Cane

8. Savea

9. Smith

10. B. Barrett

11. Reece

12. Tupaea

13. R. Ioane

14. Jordan

15. J. Barrett

16. Taukeiaho

17. Ross

18. Taavao

19. Vaai

20. Papalii

21. Christie

22. Mounga

23. Tuivasa-Sheck

Would like to see this sort of a team. Maybe even RTS starting over Tupaea. RTS will need to be thrown into the deep end before the World Cup at some point, sooner rather than later?

Not sure if Goodhue at 100% yet but if he is even him over Tupaea.

Taukeiaho best hooker atm but I think Ross should be on the bench atleast so a chiefs front row coming on together in Ross’ debut makes sense to me.

Who do you reckon are 2 chiefs players with massive potential?

@Bovidae maybe RTS would benefit from having more time and space with the ball…. Also why is RTS a 12 and only a 12… who made that call. I think he’d do better at 13 or in the back three which would play to his strengths. Only reason everyone thinks he should be a 12 is because that’s the only gap in the blues team I guess.

I still think he’ll be a decent 12 and hopefully a decent international 12, if given the chance, but I’d hate to see him never have a proper go with more space out wide in union.

The reverse of the Jordie situation where he, and everyone outside the Canes, want to see what he can do at 12 but the Hurricanes need him at 15 so doesn’t get a proper crack.

Cam Fletcher licks lips hope he gets a go. Time to move on from Blundell. Great innings against Aussie to score 100 but you can’t get automatic selection from there on.

Great game so far, really embarrassing the people holding back this market for years. Smith and Lomani having a great battle.

@Duluth certainly will have an impact
