RL End of Season Tour

Who do you prefer as a starting 10 against Ireland?

Cruden to start for sure!

When was the last time we did not have a clear preferred first five? Is it the first time since 2005?

Dan was the man for years, Cruden held down the spot for a few years but not long term. The fact that the ABs have never lost (one draw) when Cruden has started - speaks volumes.

His game management is excellent, I still think they should continue to develop Barrett over the next 3 years at 10 which is plenty of time in case of injury and he's more than capable (if the forward pack is going forward ), Barrett is just too good of an option to bring off the bench imo.

It seems the Irish test in Chicago was just a "momentary lapse of reason" and we don't need to worry, because this time the All Blacks will mean business.

Or so Sam Cane says according to stuff.co.nz
