Watson starts in solitary Scotland change for showdown with England

2017 mounga made B.Barret and the All Blacks look like a 1st15 team when the Barbarians and All Blacks played each other . Embarrassed barret so much they had to put him at full back so he wouldn’t cop the criticism.

that’s what mounga can do when the front row do there job sufficiently . That was also his first year in super rugby . So doing what he did that day at international level at his age will be a game I will never forget .

If we look at the All Blacks loses under careful scrutiny . There are only 2 major areas that need fixing . The centre paring but most all the fly half .

By 2027 B.Barret will be expired & dmac still won’t be as good as 2017 mounga . What happens next is yet to be seen . But if razor gets his way , I’m excited to see what the All Blacks can really do . Even more , I’m excited to witness mounga reach his full potential…

But you are correct in in saying the co-ordination of the eight is important. I do realise I am making this comment based on my views and experience, and many may disagree to an extent with me. And I don't know what your experience of scrummaging is either...always dangerous ground !

I wonder why Razor would want to change eligibility rules? The guy with the actual job to do putting a team together to win games, RCs and RWCs?

Unless he’s changed his tune re: changing eligibility rules?

Where are you guys making this stuff up from ? We are entering bizarrro world.

And black is now white.

“Somehow, Schmidt has selected more debutants than ever but the team seems more settled than ever.”

"The Wallabies have used a lot of players, they have made a number of changes from game to game, yet fans have a strong feeling of stability around Schmidt’s selections.

"Schmidt has spoken all year about incremental improvements, and his consistency of selection has really seen the combinations and confidence build within the squad over this northern series."

Where do make this stuff up ? Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ?

As for Penney recruiting JOC, totally unnecessary. Halfpenny was a disaster & I predict this will be the same. Hopefully both will be gone after next SR. season.

Also Farrell may try to give more game time to some of the back up or emerging players against a WB team still emerging from the horror Jones experience.
