That seems an under strength Fijian team too. No Botia Tuisova Matavesi Masi Ravutaumada etc. Are both teams treating this like a bit of an exhibition match? Could be plenty of action if they do. But not so good for the diehard fans who want to see all the best players from both teams.
Blackadder and Proctor are playing….

Anything less than Blackadder walking on water post match to cross to Mexico is a failure

I heard he actually took out the Trump sniper while warming up for training.

I like the look of Lam at 12, but I think he's played 3 or 4 games there at Super - as a makeshift. Going straight into the ABs doesn't seem right - you'd want some experience there surely.
I can wait 
I'll qualify all my future "would like to see"
I rate JB and R Ioane - still think tactics could favour them better, but against England it was basically trench warfare.
If only we had an extra lineout forward, maybe someone who was good at basketball and also rather handy at lineout in Super and dynamic around the field...

Someone get in touch with Vaea Fifita

None of them are in the squad, that's why I made the suggestion for the All Blacks XV.
Sorry, I am in the wrong thread.

I know, but those fellas playing Fiji would be matching fire with fire!
I'm looking forward to this one just to see how Razor adjusts the gameplan to address the weaknesses vs England. Clearly a different opposition but I hope they work hard on exits, lineouts and gain line success close to the ruck.

But it's a brilliant road trip. I did err when I thought the first female hitchiker on the way down from San Diego said "Do ya wanta"?
Great combo, Niggles and the Proctologist.
Ma’a is too cool for school. Geez it’s been years and I still miss him. Hasn’t been adequately replaced at 12
Both him and Mils look like they could still run out for the ABs and carve up.

he did say he was still playing? Still looks bloody strong. Man, we've had trouble replacing him!

We haven’t. Jordie is a big step down
