[QUOTE="Caitlyn Jenner, post: 873223, member: 74470"] So Whitelock, Retallick, Squire, Cane, Barrett and Crotty are skipping Argentina and going straight to Africa while Todd, Kaino, Tuipulotu and JTA join the squad..... interesting. I hope the locks can step up, the gap between the top 2 and the rest has been too big for quite a while now. I'm glad that Tuipulotu's back, he's been really good for Auckland, expect he'll come off the bench. Really interested to see what they'll do with the loosies... out of Kaino, Savea, Fifita and Todd someone will have to miss out (unless the want to rest Read.) Surely they've gotta play Kaino to get him back into the mix, but then again we do really wanna see Fifita get another run. They love Todd and he's generally a preferred starting 7 to Savea, so I'd expect him to start, and Savea is the best impact forward in the world so surely he gets the bench spot. Really tough call on who misses out. If it were up to me I'd probably start Kaino and Savea with Fifita on the bench since Todd hasn't played in over a month, but I doubt Shag'll do that. Also really hoping Ngani gets the 12 jersey, he's waited long enough, it's time to unleash him. SBW could also do with a spell. And it looks like Havili will be getting his debut. Considering Sops is the only 10, I think Havili will start with Dmac on the bench to cover. As for the wings, you'd think Naholo might finally get a shot, but I'd be really reluctant to drop Ioane or Nehe with the form they're playing themselves into. Now watch them do the complete opposite of everything I just said... :p:p [/QUOTE]
