By RugbyPass
In association with Onion TV Productions, RugbyPass brings you The Season, Series 3 with St Pats Silverstream 1st XV. An all-access look inside one of New Zealand’s iconic rugby colleges as the 1st XV edges closer to re-writing the record books in the school’s esteemed 86-year sporting history.
Stream holds off a gallant performance from St. Pats Town as the favourites eventually secure victory and Luke Mannix is awarded the prestigious ‘Belt’. A timely reunion of the 1988 First XV adds inspiration to the current generation of players, and both teams are able to appreciate each other’s achievements.
Wellington College are bravely dispatched in the Semi-Final which sets up a mouth-watering Premiership final against Stream’s greatest foe. Father John Walls explains how faith plays a large role in the school’s life with Ollie Wrigley chats with his captain about their respective futures.

My ‘fantasy’ team V Ireland,
Including options from ABXV if needed, as V Mun better V Ireland better prep than England.
The most important aspect V Ireland is AB need ALL their loosies AND 'loosie capable locks' on ALL match [except IF(?) any tiring ie the aging & slowing eg Cane]. As follows,
{starting} bench (3rd choice)
1 {De Groot} / Tu’ungafasi (Williams)
2 { anyone that can throw!! }/ Aumua (Brodie McAlister)
Ryan! coach lineouts & Aumua to throw!
3 {Lomax}/ Tosi (Newell )
Tosi immense strength V England
4,5 Locks { P.Tuipulotu, S.Barrett }, Vaa’i, Darry
( Isaia Walker-Leawere)
Vaa’i off V Eng. Assumed due to leg injury(?)
6,7,8 Loose forwards { Sititi, A.Savea, Cane } Vaa’i, S.Barrettm, P.Tuipulotu back up (Devan Flanders, Du'Plessis Kirifi )
9 {Roigard } Ratima ( TJ )
10 {D.McK} Perofeta ( Plummer)
12 {J.Barrett } ALB ( Q.Tupaea )
13 {Proctor} Ioane ( AJ Lam )
Ioane (off V England ) but Irish experience (NO not Sexton!)
14 { Tele’a} Reece (bkup W.Jordan )
11 {C.Clarke} Narawa (K.Naholo)
15 {W.Jordan} Love (Stevenson)
Go to commentsI guess the other option would be to start ALB, he's looked good in the 12 so far when he starts and sets up those outside him. But that would mean putting the vice captain on the bench, which is unlikely. Another option would be to drop Reiko to the bench and play Proctor, though he's gone home so that's not going to happen either.
Both of those players just offer more of the soft distribution skills good centres learn from playing their careers there. Unfortunately that's what's lacking with the current combo.
