Perofeta at fullback makes sense with Barret not having played a lot recently. Love the winders as Reece will provide great attracting plays and Mark is super safe under the high ball and was the breakthrough player last year (I think) I'm a very happy camper :)
With the amount of talent oozing out wide and the fact Reiko has expressed his desire to play 13 from high school the coaches saw the best of both worlds and yes a world class wing turned incumbent 13
That's a bit harsh bro 😂 il just be happy too win got a bit hoha with Foster's game plan hopefully we see a different game plan but can't wait Brother go the AB's
We’ve just seen how DMac performed in a final against a tuff side, and it was average. Yet he’s been thrown in as starting # 10 against a top test team. I would have thought he may have come off the bench later in the game, but there you have it ?
An average look about this team but still think they’ll get up given home ground advantage, first game of the season and quality coaching staff etc. The only player to make an international XV would possibly be Ardie Savea @7.
@@Spoof01 that’s bc good players can transition more easily into other positions ie Jordie from Fullback to 12 but Ardie’s a better 7 imo. In fact, I don’t think he’s even the best 8 in NZ at the moment
The ABs Coaches said that SRP form was one of the major considerations for selection in to the team. Glad that they have been consistent. Not been a fan of Razor but I am warming to him after this team selection to play the English. Go The ABs
This team is solid, with the likes of Asafo Aumua, Beauden Barrett, Anton Leinart Brown, Luke Jacobson coming off the bench. I honestly believe England will fall off after 60mins. AB's 15+
Bit of a worry with Perofeta at 15 if Zarn Sullivan was fit would he been picked at fullback as he was first choice for the Blues other then that a pretty good side
Think Ioane lacks DEFENCE and is more suited at Wing. Love speed of the backline, any break should end in a try. Large Mobile pack but limited pure lineout jumpers. An impact bench which will be fully utilized last 20mins. Just my opinion guys
Very similar team to what foster would’ve picked , I guess it’s easy to forget , foster was close to getting it right last year after a few forgettable years
@@rubendutoit586 coaching is a team effort these days , no doubt the coaching team improved with those additions but it’s never a one man job anyway , specialists needed on every level to succeed

Really love him @13, but the amount of tries Reiko would've scored in his career by now had he stayed a Winger...

Everyone expected Mr Riek to be the next Snakey they are 2 different specialists as a outside centre
Emperor Razor reign begins England the first victim ABs 60-10 Eng razor sharp back lines will be a try fest game for the ABs

Emperor....arghhhhahahahahahahahaha
Let’s go All Blacks let’s go. I don’t really like perofeta we need Will Jordan back 😢
Very strong forward pack,

Ardies an 8 now and has been for some time, i think he would make any world 15 at 8 lol....chill its the first test of the year 😎

Your calls earlier in the week was not too bad
Great squad. Predictable but experienced . Exactly the squad we need to beat England
Finlay Christie at halfback and Beauden Barrett at fullback would be my preferences. All the others were predictable.

man that jersey looks terrible.. preist look about it
Yeah my thoughts too.
Never been the same with Adidas but is the benefactor
I like it
Like it. Classic and smart
Won’t be buying that jersey
Those jerseys suck well call this team the 2024 choir boys
Perofeta make a coupla mistakes in that final ; hope he plays well
Nice name pronounciation. Well spoken and explained. You got my sub.

Haha guess who gets the fullback nod
I went 12/15 in the starting 15. Got 9, 11, 14 wrong. Had Ratima, Clarke & Narawa.
I picked Perofeta at 15 though.
BUT ,,, both those locks r broken ?
A wonderful player but not at 10. 15 perhaps.
cant wait for this one
Bring back 3 test series.
Very similar team to what foster would’ve picked , I guess it’s easy to forget , foster was close to getting it right last year after a few forgettable years
Picking a team and coaching them to win is a different story. It was not Fozzy it was thanks to Ryan and Schmidt that they made it that far

RIP Englander
Let’s goooo
Cannot wait for this game. Smashing the content mate.
Too much for the English
Got it 90% right with rugbyitch Hamish. I thought Beauden will start at 15 and Caleb on the wing. Didn't know he was injured
