ALL BLACKS: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, George Moala, Ryan
Crotty, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read
(captain), Sam Cane, Elliot Dixon, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick,
Charlie Faumuina, Dane Coles, Joe Moody. Reserves: Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Luke Romano, Liam Squire, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Lima Sopoaga, Waisake Naholo.
A few thought:
I like the selection of Moala. He is having a tough year at the blues, not cementing his starting position, but I think he has a potential to become some player like Ma-a. I think Hansen and co are looking in the same way.
I hope Elliot Dixon has a good game. He deserve a crack, and hope he does not stumble like Broadhurst did last year (remember him?) Also, good luck for Barret for starting at 10. I think he earned it. I am a Cruden fan, so watching with interest.
Coaches are obviously looking at Ben as midfield cover. Does it mean They think he can cover 12-15? Talk about Jack of all trade. ( scary thing is you can not call him "master of none" either.
