Would love too se du plessis start what an athlete! He was smashing it in super this year

[@robertcashen4761]

Maybe start reiko on the wing

[@The_wolf_gamer]

i think every debut and under 10 caps players should start and have a very very strong bench cause having a 50-5 point lead when u come aint gonna do anything throw them into the deep end and show them what its like to start adn maybe 30 minutes left to play bring on the big guns the mckeznie the jordie the reiko ardie tuopu vaai patrick and degrot

[@gideonporter537]

Fabian Holland is a better lock than Josh Lord - he just wasn't eligible for NZ until recently. The rest of your picks look good though.

[@NickWilliamson-o1p]

I doubt that Razor will use as many new and untested players as you think. His selections have been very conservative to date. Wasn't Jordie Barrett concussed against France?

[@icefarrow7959]

No, he injured his leg. Only Finau got concussed.

[@icefarrow7959]

Clarke probably won't be playing. I'd say Love at Wing, with Perofeta at Fullback, just like with Japan. Jordie injured his leg, so if rested, AJ Lam would move to the bench. Ratima also unlikely, Roigard on the bench instead. Reece is a big question mark for me, looked really unfit in the French test.

[@samkohi8705]

Love the jersey bro what year was that? Oh and yea Cane will Captain this one surely.

[@Rotowhaka]

1994 Springboks tour to NZ First tour to NZ in 13 years NZ won the series 2-0 with a draw The All Blacks had a bad year that year, lost to France 2-0, then got beaten by the Wallabies, And that is my useless information for today

[@samkohi8705]

@@Rotowhaka appreciate that bro thank you, you been watching for a while alright, what do you think of the current team?

[@eugenetay5264]

ABs lacking depth at No. 12. Is Peter Lakai a No.6? Otherwise, good line-up overall.

[@rory7590]

Nah. Not for me. I don’t want rotation for rotation sake. I want the strongest available team every week. Players should compete to start regardless of who the opposition is - don’t give away caps for cheap or pick sentimentally. Give Italy respect and give the ABs the best possible finish for the year.

[@icefarrow7959]

It's not rotation for rotation's sake. Many of the team have been playing weeks on end. Player welfare is more important than whom you field. Not to mention, a significant group of players - both backs and forwards, are all out with injuries atm. Darry, Plummer, Finau, Jordie etc. You have to blood them now while you got the chance.

[@rory7590]

@@icefarrow7959 So one more week makes no difference whatsoever. Players are as likely to get injured in training these days so ‘player welfare’ is a non argument.

[@icefarrow7959]

​@@rory7590You can't be serious? Athletes in this sport already complain about being overworked, and you think asking more is not a big ask. Have you even been paying attention to the ABs performances this tour? The top players are fatigued by now, gassed by halftime in the French test.

[@kingjames7963]

I thought jordie is out with an injury

[@hartley9958]

Had enough of Sevu Reece he has no pace and that's been evident for a while, some how he keeps getting a black jersey and Robertson has shown too much dedication to a average player, theres a shit ton of classy wingers in NZ who deserve a chance ahead of this guy....
