[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 689986, member: 43400"] Should be a nice close test (the last one for the All Blacks, for the year, usually are) Not sure how many of the team that faced Scotland will be in the match day 23 ... Vito would probably deserve a bench spot,if he can recover from his injury, and Thrush probably deserves the locking spot on the bench too. I know DC needs time in the 10 jersey at test level, but I guess they will go with Cruden starting, and Barrett off the bench Hopefully C.Smith will return at 13, but, otherwise SBW at 12 and Fekitoa at 13 would be ok, with Crotty covering from the bench. If you can believe the stuff from Steve Hansen about this tour being an RWC simulation, then this match will be treated like an RWC final, so the team fielded, should be a full strength side EDIT - It looks like C.Smith will be there [url]http://www.radiosport.co.nz/sport-news/rugby/high-praise-for-slades-versatility/[/url] [/QUOTE]
