Hopefully the ABs play well and end the year on a high. Would like to see Razor pick something like this...
15 Love, 14 Tele'a, 13 Lam, 12 ALB, 11 Clarke, 10 Perofeta, 9 Roigard, 8 Sititi, 7 Cane, 6 Lakai, 5 Tuipulotu (c), 4 Lord, 3 Newell, 2 Aumua, 1 de Groot
16 Bell, 17 Ofa, 18 Tosi, 19 Holland, 20 Ardie, 21 Perenara, 22 Rieko, 23 DMac, 24 Havili
Assuming Finau and Jordie are out injured. Dunno if they'll give any of the B Team players a run or stick with the original squad members, but I hope we see Holland and Lam feature.
Give Will Jordan and Cortez Ratima the week off to reflect on their less than stellar decision-making of late.

Wholesale change for the sake of it is a trademark of the arrogance enjoyed by Hansen and then Fozzie. I hope they stick with a largely unchanged lineup aside from injury replacements, myself. You're developing the core of a team that will carry the jersey with due pride and respect, some generational change is always on the cards and we've seen plenty of it already this year... I'm happy to see them stick with that core group and add to it slowly.Gumboot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2024 1:58 am Hopefully the ABs play well and end the year on a high.

I'd prefer to run with some of the fringe players like Love, Perofeta and Newell, who have hardly taken the field so far on tour. And I reckon it would be especially harsh to leave out Ethan de Food Bill.Guy Smiley wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2024 3:53 amWholesale change for the sake of it is a trademark of the arrogance enjoyed by Hansen and then Fozzie.

The All Blacks’ final match of the Northern Tour will also be the final match in the black jersey for long-serving All Blacks Sam Cane and TJ Perenara. Cane will sign off his remarkable All Blacks career in the No.7 jersey, while halfback Perenara will inject his trademark high-energy impact off the bench against Italy on Saturday night in Turin.All Blacks match-day 23 (caps in brackets)
1. Ethan de Groot (28)
2. Codie Taylor (95) (Vice-Captain)
3. Tyrel Lomax (43)
4. Scott Barrett (79) (Captain)
5. Patrick Tuipulotu (50)
6. Wallace Sititi (9)
7. Sam Cane (103)
8. Ardie Savea (93) (Vice-Captain)

10. Beauden Barrett (133)

16. Asafo Aumua (19)
17. Ofa Tu’ungafasi (67)
18. Fletcher Newell (21)
19. Tupou Vaa’i (37)
20. Peter Lakai (2)
21. TJ Perenara (88)
22. David Havili (29)
23. Damian McKenzie (61)
Unavailable due to injury: Tamaiti Williams (neck), Jordie Barrett (knee), Samipeni Finau (concussion), Sam Darry (knee), Ethan Blackadder (calf), Luke Jacobson (fractured thumb) and Dalton Papali'i (upper hamstring).
Cane’s return creates a loose forward reshuffle, with Wallace Sititi slipping back into blindside and Ardie Savea going to No.8.
There are two further changes in the forwards, with prop Ethan de Groot and lock Patrick Tuipulotu coming into the starting line-up. Ofa Tu’ungafasi and Fletcher Newell will provide prop cover and Tupou Vaa’i will cover lock.
In the backs, Jordie Barrett has been ruled out this week with a knee injury, which sees Anton Lienert-Brown start at second five-eighth and brings David Havili into the reserves. Mark Tele’a has recovered from his hand injury to reclaim the right wing.

Roigard is looking very slow and average here.

Has the squad been in suspended animation for the last year, & no-one told them about the latest law changes ?
