[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1052118, member: 65365"] I think the wallabies did pick their best if what was available, but by the third test they made some changes to get fresh players out there. the all blacks last test was mostly what they thought was their best from what was available, with small adjustments to give players the game time they needed. Some things will have changed since then of course. i dont know who is available in the propping department for the all blacks, someone said de grrot was in for ofa, another source said he was in for moody. they could go with either taylor or coles, for me its coles. But i dont know who is fit. whitelock obviously starts. But the other starter and the reserve its hard to know. Scott has been the best performer, retallick has the most credit in the bank, and tuipolotu brings a physical presence we might think we need. Certainly id be surprised if at least one of akira and patty wasnt starting, for physical presence. If patrick starts hoskins is a chance, otherwise its got to be luke at 8 and akira at 6. Savea at seven is an obvipus choice; he wasnt great by his standards last game but had had a lit if time out. Dalton on the reserves. In saying that, it is only australia, maybe we dont need physical presence. midfield i dont know. Hard to leave out havili or alb but rieko is the game breaker. Dont know. jordan and reece on the wings. Mckenzie or beauden at fullback. weber on the reserves. there are going to be some big name or in form players missing out on the 23. One of Jordie or beauden or mckenzie or alb or ione or havili or jordan or reece. One of scott or brodie or patty. One of akira or sotutu or papalii or jacobson. [/QUOTE]
