Main things I'll be looking for performance-wise is the AB lineout and kicking game to go better.
All Blacks
Match thread
Fiji
A huge number of players on debut, hope the starting line-up does a good enough job so they all get a run on and some gametime.
Don't think there will be a great deal to take out of this game aside from giving players experience in the black jersey, just hope that the guys go well so they can put pressure on the starting XV.
So in particular I'd love to see Williams and Aumua do well in the carry.
Ratima to build on his good performance against England and firm himself up as the #1 HB.
Proctor to playand distribute well to put pressure on Reiko.
Clarke to come back and play well so he can replace Telea

Savea to lead the haka? SB could as captain I suppose, as others have.
Billy leads all the hakas for the Canes, even before TJ. That would be pretty cool for him on debut.
Congratulations to the five players who will make their ABs debut from the bench. A proud moment for them and their families.

At least Razor isn't silly enough to start all 6.....

Generally the senior Maori player does it?

Richie McCaw was slow, he was still effective
Mary Holah was slow.
McCaw wasn't

When has a captain led the haka in recent times? I don't recall GOAT or Read ever leading it, Cane didn't, Ardie hasn't I don't recall. It was almost always Aaron Smith in recent times. I always thought it was a player with Maori blood that led it

Good to see Blackadder taking all precautions
He’s heading to the Civic Centre after training to do Pagliacci
@Bones said in All Blacks vs Fiji:
@canefan you've got Google right? Kieran Read leads haka...
Yep, Read did, McCaw did.

Billy lead the Canes haka even when TJ was in it. I’d say if Barrett doesn’t do it for the ABs this week then Billy will.

I’m cracking up at the ‘Steve Hansens education with him’ line. What ‘education’ could he possibly give about the gym ?

I'm really liking that loose forward trio. Probably better balanced than the first two tests IMO. Sititi coming off the bench for impact will be awesome.
By balance you mean three 7.5s ?
It will be interesting to see who goes where when Sititi comes on. Does Savea move to 7? Blackadder can't be a realistic option at 6 if he isn't starting there.
Only really comes into play at scrum. Sititi could even pack at 6 for defensive scrums and 8 when ABs want a hard carry.

Where the nearest crisp machine was?
