Is it confirmed whether BBBR is injured or not?

Is Whitelock not being overplayed a bit?

I worry about Frizell - I get the feeling that he is going to be HUGE when we come up against the likes of Ireland/SA/France.

He adds power to our loose - without him we are sitting ducks when it comes to preventing turnovers at the breakdown.

Really hope he comes through the game well.

He hardly played v Italy... came on second half, after two weeks off.

Think he's ok.. only one injury to report...

Midfielder David Havili was the only player not considered because of injury (a minor hamstring strain not considered serious), while prop Ethan de Groot is serving the last week of his suspension.

Who's likely to kick in this one - Mo'unga? Or D-Mac?

Well, under Foster the ABs prefer to shuffle Mo'unga out of the line (where he offers the best genuine distributor skillset NZ has) in favour of anyone with the surname Barrett or fresh off the street with a flash set of running shoes.

So it'll be Ardie.

I hope Jordie keeps taking the touch-finders. He was getting good distance against Italy.

And both he and DMac can kick goals from over halfway, so we have plenty of options.

Yeah... as Gumboot said a few weeks back, an amazing player. Solid career, excellent captain when needed and never a sniff of scandal or misbehaviour.

Have to give it to that team in black. They're giving it a good go.

This is another version of ‘he reffed us fairly so he must be a shitebag’ isn’t it.

0-0 after 18 mins.
Who'd have put money on that?

I guess he’d have a good native eye for that. Shame he’s not spotting the Uruguayan neck rolls but hey ho.
