If Barrett starts, I wonder whether he is thinking of hanging up the boots. It would be strange to see him in this game, but with Mo'unga coming back I can't see Beauden making the WC. He could still demand a pretty good salary in Japan.
He could be the first big name (rugby player) for R360.

This made me realise no one seems to have made a gif of all the chicks turning their light red on Take Me Out.
I’m hoping Love and Jordan gel together nicely at the back. That’s our strongest back three IMO. Hope it fires.
Playing Clarke seems like an unnecessary risk.
At least 10/15 combo should be interesting to keep an eye on.

I hope they play well enough to force the coaches to take a second look (I wish they'd played that back three months ago)

Yep, especially considering our woeful high ball exploits this year.

Hopefully a last hoorah for these guys.

Ticking a box and getting everyone a game. At least Will Jordan is in his best position. Would rather see Tangitau wearing 14 though

Giving Wales a collective orgasm.
The injuries certainly limited the options in the 23 based on who was left in the squad.
That is the backline Cully was predicting, except Reece and Jordan swapping roles.

I’m glad razor managed to get his 6 Crusaders on the bench. So inspiring
His way of saying goodbye?
That backline is a wasted opportunity for me. Looking forward to 2026, we aren’t going to learn anything useful from ALB and Rieko.
One could argue that it gives DMac a great chance to show at 10, and Love gets a go at 15 with experience all around, but hard to see anything done for cohesion.
And, if the backline DOES set the house on fire, where does that leave us going forward?
