[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1088933, member: 70552"] Yeh as well as settling on a consistent midfield partnership. I recall Will Greenwood, who knows a thing of two of playing 12 and centre, commented that Goodhue and ALB were just too similar when they played and lack the point of difference to complement each other. Both naturally going for the outside shoulder. I recall ABs have some other issues to sort out. The platform up front, which got beaten up v Ireland and France last November: T’ungasfasi to come in at tight head? Bower to come in at loosehead now Moody is out for the season/year? Don’t know too much about De Groot, but covers the bench? Combo on the second row - Barrett/Retallick? Back row combo - still not a fan of Ardie at 8. Papalii never going to get a look in at 7, with Cane as captain so he’s challenging Akira for 6? But I think for the ABs it does come down to now playing a settled team as JK argues. That first pool game v France could be pivotal. Looking forward to the Ireland June matches. [/QUOTE]
