I'm a southern hemisphere fan so excuse my ignorance, but I've honestly never heard of Cory Allen. And what happened to Jamie Roberts?

So All Blacks side to face Namibia has been named, Sam Cane to captain and the bench has more test caps than the starting XV: 15. Colin Slade 14. Nehe Milner-Skudder 13. Malakai Fekitoa 12. Sonny Bill Williams 11. Julian Savea 10. Beauden Barrett 9. TJ Perenara 8. Victor Vito 7. Sam Cane (c) 6. Liam Messam 5. Sam Whitelock 4. Luke Romano 3. Charlie Faumuina 2. Codie Taylor 1. Ben Franks Reserves 16. Keven Mealamu 17. Wyatt Crockett 18. Tony Woodcock 19. Kieran Read 20. Richie McCaw 21. Tawera Kerr-Barlow 22. Ma'a Nonu 23. Ben Smith Pretty strong bench considering Namibia will likely be routed. I guess its a chance to work out some combinations in the starting XV and give the regular players on the bench enough game time to stay conditioned.

Aramoro posted:The biggest issue they're going to have is that Pocock has been dominating the breakdown preventing quick ball and generating turnovers. He's going to find that a lot harder against the New Zealand. I think that's where the game will be won and lost, the battle between Pocock and McCaw. Yes, watching the game this morning while half-asleep I noticed Pocock getting about 3-4 turnovers at least. As a New Zealander (and hence an ABs fan), I find this quite a threat. People seem to be underestimating Australia somewhat, whereas I think it could be quite close.
