Does that mean Holland starts? That would be ballsy.

Reiko 11, Vaa'i 6
when Razor said Locks would cover 6....i thought he more meant late in the game after some subs.....not that he thought someone that has played more at lock than anywhere else....is better than any 6 we have in the country and will be starting
looool
i had decided that i would try just being a fan this year. What ever team was picked, i would support them, go team! and such.
And the first fucking leak has me already questioning that whole stance.
fuck being a professional rugby player aye? you could be the best left wing or blindside in the country....and they start someone whos played 13 for years and a lock :cat_face_with_tears_of_joy:
you'd have to take it personally

@Bones just saying my mail and he said his contact is around 80 percent correct.
"just saying my mail"?

Viva la 20%
@nostrildamus I think they really, really like Holland. It really wouldn't surprise me if Vaa'i starts 6 especially when most of the French backrow seem to be Locks......

Lio Willie 8
A solid battler. What's he offer though that will stretch and break Test-quality defences?
@Canes4life I'm just putting out there what I've been told
@george33 said in All Blacks Vs France, Test One, Dunedin:
@george33 So these changes are confirmed Ardie 7
are you only being drip fed one name at a time or can you drop a "rumoured XV"?
@george33 said in All Blacks Vs France, Test One, Dunedin:
@Canes4life I'm just putting out there what I've been told
How many times have you said this and been way off?
@Kiwiwomble drip feed, can't name whole team might get couple more yet
@Canes4life many times just putting out what I've been told

Keep doing it.
Kind of the point of a forum, telling us what he's been told doesn't mean it's accurate guys.
something to talk about
if i was Finau i would be filthy
If i was Hoskins Sotutu i would be ropeable.
If i was Clark who played outside Ioane all year, didn't get the ball, and then had him take my shirt, i would be pissed enough to speed away from cops.

Jordan will he play battling injury not sure or Love, McKenzie at 15 I'm picking Love
i think i understand....Jordan has an injury and might not play. im assuming you believe BB is 10 hence suggesting DMac or Love will play 15 if Jordan is out?

Wallabies touched us up in Perth.
that was epic. i had a hundred beers and teed right the fuck off. was fun
@antipodean i had just arrived at a bar on the GC with about 15 to go....
Yea if those calls are right, some players would have a right to be pissed...
Guess this is what being more bold is?
@Kiwiwomble correct
@mariner4life said in All Blacks Vs France, Test One, Dunedin:
yaaay, BB at 10!! he was so good there in 2017, he's due!
"i had decided that i would try just being a fan this year. "
This newfound fandom does not seem so convincing if you are just being sarcastic...
If they are going all out on crazy selections and brand new combos, so be it! So many here on the Fern wanted Holland, Ardie at 7, and a new 6 and look at what we (might be) getting!
@george33 said in All Blacks Vs France, Test One, Dunedin:
@george33 So these changes are confirmed Ardie 7
And so he should be, the best 7 in super rugby this season, a more natural position for his strengths but also allows us the chance to speed up the game later in the match when Kirifi comes on.
@ACT-Crusader said in All Blacks Vs France, Test One, Dunedin:
I don’t think DMac will be starting or playing at 15, well that’s my mail.
You never know, it might be a Crusader.

Actually that isn't a bad combo. Could have been Paps then Blackadder..
