It's a real bugger about that JB injury, I would have liked to see that backline.

One thing I would like to see tried if we are persisting with the 5-3 with a wing option on the bench, is using Clarke as a battering ram for the first 40, just get as many hard carries as he can at their inside backs.

Where's the team?

I had it locked and ready to go but the Jordie injury has thrown a spanner in the works.

I’ll post what it was going to be anyway, I’m sure it will spark some discussion.

On the news last night it sounded like JB would be fine.

Paul Cully is predicting that Vaa'i will be named at 6.

Probably because a few other pundits have been talking it up. I’ve heard something quite different.

That lineup tells us two things: Tupaea is the clear favourite for the centre spot ahead of Proctor, although I’m not convinced about having Lienert-Brown there; and Beauden Barrett doesn’t appear likely to be part of the top 23 moving forward and may not make a regular-sized squad once Mo’unga returns. I’m fairly happy with both of those outcomes.

A back three, all with fullback credentials. The high ball really should be taken care of. Clark, who has made the high ball his forte, also in reserve to defuse opposition shenanigans. I like it.

Dominic Gardner, Ethan Blackadder or Corey Kellow?

Jordie all good to start.

The Myth is definitely amongst us, there was the same trend last year when @landers92 posted and then all of a sudden the same team showed up on the Myth site.

Someone ban the bloke.

I’ll be toning it back on the SA tour that’s for sure. Still have bits of oil but tone back the line ups, especially for the tests.

I think there's largely a collective understanding that some information shared on the Fern is shared in confidence. The Myth page on FB has a large following and whoevers leaking information to that page is going against what @landers92 has asked.

Dick move in my view and I'm not suprised @landers92 is now reluctant to share that sort of information going forward.

@Canes4life I could swear you're related to Bonesetta with responses to questions that are not even close to an on topic answer.

Pretty hard to ban someone on a public forum is the point.

Might be easier to find them...

Segner to start , Jacobson, Ardie. , Lakai bench. That sounds good.

@george33 Interesting. Mainstream media been going hard on Vaa'i starting at 6, so I wonder if this is an indication that Tuipulotu has not been passed fit?
