ANZAC TEST

[Dash]

Fifita has been bog average this year.

 

[broncsgoat]

Really highlights Qlds dearth of quality in the front row.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Kodi, Blair and Kahu all make the Kiwi squad.

[Dash]

Oh no, Kahu is going to getting hurt :lostit:

 

[ZTop]

I think there's a decent chance Kahu actually misses out on that team, he'll probably make it in favour of Fusitu'a if he is to make it, DWZ will be there.

I think there's a decent chance Kahu actually misses out on that team, he'll probably make it in favour of Fusitu'a if he is to make it, DWZ will be there.

After Kahu's performances in Tests over the past couple of years, he will be in the side.

No chance he misses out.

DWZ, could go either way. His form hasn't been good, he really struggles to score tries and Fusitu'a has been better in that department.

 

[bb_gun]

Is Kearney still the coach of NZ?

 

[Super Freak]

Is Kearney still the coach of NZ?

No. Kidwell is coach.

 

[bb_gun]

No. Kidwell is coach.

Then Kahu should be rested. Hopefully...

 

[Super Freak]

Andrew Fifita has been promoted to the starting side after Shannon Boyd was ruled out due to a ankle injury.

Jake Trbojevic has been added to the bench.

 

[Unbreakable]

After Kahu's performances in Tests over the past couple of years, he will be in the side.

No chance he misses out.

DWZ, could go either way. His form hasn't been good, he really struggles to score tries and Fusitu'a has been better in that department.

Once again, I'm not sure if that'll be the case. Kahu and Nikorima were really only in the team for the last 18 months out of necessity, statistically speaking Kahu has been the weakest of the "Potential wingers" we're discussing this season (Although he does add things that don't show up in the statistics to the team). If Kidwell decides to go with the Maroons system of staying loyal, Kahu will be in the 17, if it's based on form, I doubt he will be.

Rapana - 16.8 runs, 166.0 metres, 7.6 tackle busts - (9 linebreaks, 8 tries)
Watene-Zelezniak - 12.6 runs, 133.1 metres, 3.6 tackle busts - (7 linebreaks, 2 tries)
Fusitu'a - 13.0 runs, 110.3 metres, 1.8 tackle busts - (7 linebreaks, 7 tries)
Kahu - 10.4 runs, 85.3 metres, 2.4 tackle busts - (2 linebreaks, 4 tries)

 

[mitch222]

Jeez Moose is a bit hard done by

 

[mitch222]

Im tipping Blair will start and Taupau off the bench for impact

1. Roger Tiuvasa-Sheck
2. Jordan Rapana
3. Jordan Kahu
4. Dean Whare
5. Dallene Watene-Zelezniak
6. Kieran Foran
7. Shaun Johnson
8. Adam Blair
9. Isaac Luke
10. Jesse Bromwich (c)
11. Simon Mannering
12. Kevin Proctor
13. Jason Taumololo

14. Martin Taupau
15. Russell Packer
16. Kenny Bromwich/Nelson Asofa-Solomona
17. Kodi Nikorima

I think minus Tohu Harris, this is their strongest squad available so the game should be a cracker

 

[Number6]

Jeez Moose is a bit hard done by

Plus desperately short on front row against a bigger Kiwi pack, Maguires not big but has runs on the board at prop especially given the most likely underwhelming Morgan will come on lock barring a backline injury.
