All Blacks to field new starting winger and converted flanker against Ireland

He didnt play well there which is why the experiment was ended. There are only so many games you play someone who is not performing the basics of their role. Taking out our best lock to be an underperforming flanker makes no sense. It’s a double negative. He’s mobile for a lock. But he’s not mobile for a loose forward. He’s slow for a loose forward and it shows against certain opponents. The ABs can’t out-south Africa or out-France either of those teams, but we can out-all black anyone. The combination of missing him at lock and having him in the loose forwards will make us worse than we could be while that is happening. He will move to lock after 40/50 minutes, and we will have 3 loosies in the field and everything will look better as a result. Ardie, Sititi, Lakai, Segner, and Jacobson are our best loose forwards and they are all super versatile. We have no requirement to turn our premier lock into a flanker. Maybe 33 yo Frizzell will slot back in to the World Cup team seamlessly, but more likely his best years are behind him and all of those mentioned are better options. Barrett actually had a great game at 6 - in the first test against Ireland I think? But injuries meant he had to go back to lock. Then Frizzell emerged. But that was a different team playing a different style. Had it not been for the lock injuries I think he was first choice at 6 for Foster rather than abandoned experiment. But he has been injured so much since the last World Cup he’s never really got back to full fitness.
