Beauden Barrett back in starting All Blacks team to play the Wallabies at Eden Park

Talk about back to the future . . .

Let’s hope Dmac doesn’t throw away a hat trick of second half tries again this time.

What am I missing with Holland non selection???? Is it scrum power having Barrett there? Maybe Holland has been told to bulk up?

One too many Barretts I reckon !

No Holland or Blackadder?

Any thoughts?

Interesting team to say the least, not sure when Beauden B last playing more than 20 minutes at Super/Test level, so interesting selection - guess Moorby is on the bench to cover him if he runs out of gas.

No fan of non tackling wingers, so shake my head around Carter’s selection, though at least he is a great attacker though just know that the Wallabies will be looking at isolating him in defence and getting him one on one defending.

Tosi should be fine, Wallabies scrum without Topou is very much depowered and no Holland? Simliar for Taylor I guess, they need his leadership skills but at 35 I think pretty clear to see that it’s questionable if he is the best Hooker in the country.

Excited to see Frizell - could he be the answer we are looking for at 6? Wallabies have a very classly loss forward trio and when Frizell/Segner come on, could be along with Savea that is the loose forward trio we will take into the WC?

Anyway let’s go ABs and with fingers crossed ABs by 10?

Can't shake BB. Terrible team

Not sure the team trajectory is right despite all the injuries. Jacomb is not getting any development with this set-up. Rennie seems to be following the same path as others with the BB fandom. Carter and Moorby have not stepped up to elite level and could be exposed again. Taumoefolau should be in there and Fihaki has more upside than the two chosen IMO. Tosi has struggled at set piece against quality internationals but Lomax has been off the pace. Wallabies have been firing pretty well but this will likely be a closely run match-up.
