All Blacks injury list continues to grow with double whammy before Wallabies

Perplexed by the exclusion of Narawa.

He reminds me of Cory Jane: not an out-and-out speedster, but a highly skilled, ball-playing winger who thrives on deception, vision, and footballing intelligence. He offers something different from the pure pace merchants, yet can be just as effective.

It's interesting that they've brought in Fihaki. He deserves his opportunity, but he's quite different from Fineanganofo. It makes me wonder whether the selectors are placing a greater emphasis on aerial skills and all-round footballing ability. If that's the case, though, Narawa's omission becomes even more puzzling, because those are some of his strengths.

So many good wings in NZ. They are wasting Jordan on the wing, he should be first choice 15. They should give Jacomb a chance at 10 and DMAC should be permanent fixture on the bench.

When Rennie took charge he said there was a lot of depth at 10. He now gets a chance to show case it. I would put DMac at 10 and Jordan at 15

Hard to predict this one but I’m guessing

Narawa non call up is flabbergasting….what a talent, who covers several positions. Kyren Taumoefolau would surely be a well ahead of Fihaki in most peoples form guide?? Im starting to worry about ability of selectors. Im on board with how we are playing, but there is a typical conservatism creeping in around selection

The ABs seem to have a vastly higher injury rate than other sides. Not only can they not field the same team twice, but the side they do turn out play like they’ve just been introduced. No wonder the only tour match they won was the first.

Do they need to learn a thing or two about conditioning? (only after they’ve mastered the basics of the set piece, though).

This one is getting spicy today’s team will be interesting

If the high-flying Aussies cannot beat this ragtag lot, they never will

Rennie is an extremely conservative selector. He is adverse to risk taking.

Rennie will select McKenzie at 10 and B. Barrett at fullback.

Jacombs will be in the stands.

Injuries are never good news, but they will force Rennie and his staff to make some very interesting choices.

Will they move McKenzie to 10 and Beauden to 15? I really hope not, especially Beauden at fullback. That would be a disaster for me.

Will Moorby be the preferred option at 15 instead? Or could Jacomb get a chance at 10, with DMK staying at the back? Nothing is certain yet.

On the other hand, I’m really happy that Chay Fihaki has finally been called up. He should have been selected a long time ago. Personally, I would make him my starting 15, but I don’t think that will happen in Auckland.

Danger for the All Blacks…

That leaves Beauden Barrett or Damian McKenzie to choose from.

Oh God, he's not going to play BB at 10 is he?
