This is the big one to see if the ABs have improved still some areas that need to be changed its the defence that needs to step up and mental toughness. Won’t be surprised if England win
I think this game will be more intense than those two games played earlier this year. Both teams have quality coaches and they would have brushed up on many things. Go ABs 👍
Hi guys, Mark for once u look reasonably happy with Razor's choices! 👏🤣 Eng in my opinion are a great side, going back to their rwc defeat against the boks , i think was 1 of the greatest rugby matches a loosing Eng team has ever played they were good on that night. Eng will run the ABs close for 80mins. 2 very good sides on a knife's edge! Yes Dmac should be an impact player. My only comment regarding ABs 23! Lee Kiwi fan Cape Town
As an Ireland fan I'll be watching this with great interest. It's a tough one to call and a lot to play for for both sides. England will be up for it and a win over one of the SH big guns at home would be a major boost for them. However the AB's will want to silence their critics and a win here over a strong English side will give them a lot of confidence going into the Ireland game. And looking at this team (best selection yet under Razor) I think they have got the edge so I agree with you here Mark...AB's by about 5.
Vaai deserves a start, but I want to see S.Barrett up his game a lot. Robertson will probably never play Ardie at openside, so we're stuck with Sititi and Ardie playing out of position. Cane is not as effective at 7 as Ardie or Curry so a C- for selection nous. Roigard is the best halfback in NZ, with real potential to be the best in the world, Ratima will never be that, but his start here makes sense given that Roigard is coming back from a long layoff. Barrett should be on the bench for impact with Plummer starting. Perofeta should be at 15 with Jordan on the right wing. The level that this team of Razors can reach may have been discovered in South Africa. Hopefully not, but if that's the case, and the ABs can't beat England this weekend, then we are in for a horror season review, and Robertsons approach to team selection will be item number one for investigation.
Agreed and well said. Scooter hasn't put in a performance as good as Vai'i or Tuipolotus best or even second best game this year. How about Scott at 6, Satiti 8, Savea 7? Four lineout jumpers and arguably our best on the field with a ton of athletism and power
It’s the team I thought Razor would pick except for Degroot who has been dropped for breaking team protocols or some such term ie: been naughty! Paddy T very unlucky to just be on the bench but for him to play from the off Scott Barrett would be the one dropped to the bench which was never going to happen!
Good luck All Blacks!

Yes so far Scott has been the third best lock this season with Vai'i and Paddy going great guns. Could move Scott to six, Satiti 8, Savea 7
There will be some controversy over some decisions the ref and the tmo will decide who wins England to win 28-20
All Blacks do not like people should down the Haka, that will motivate them , shame for the Poms, they gonna be smash, AB 's 10 and more.
Frothing for these matches too get underway.....
England by at least 7 points win margin...
bet on it 😂😂
