About right. Welly would also be the "west bank" (sort of).

Ouch to both of you. There's always a better smart ass isn't there. Didn't think one would be from Ireland and the other from the Middle East (bourne).
Oh, and GFY's

CF snr says that was the way back in the day. You found out you had made or been dropped in real time
They used to announce the team in the sheds at Athletic Park after AB trials games with all the players - successful or not - present. On the radio.
Built character apparently.

Agreed. The guy who made it was Welsh
Considering the worst-tackling No.10 in O'Gara's era was Wales' Stephen "Revolving Door" Jones, look likes a classic piece of Youtube fake news...

Some info from Japan:
The Bledisloe 3 test is far from a sell-out; still many tickets available.
The following players from the 51-man ABs squad will play for World XV in Friday night's match against Japan: Dillon Hunt, Jackson Hemopo and Nehe Milner-Skudder.
Other notable NZ players in that World XV squad are: Andy Ellis (c), Ma'a Nonu, Wyatt Crockett, and the side is coached by Robbie Deans and Scott Robertson.
There are also quite a few South Africans (Adriaan Strauss, Willie Britz, Harold Vorster, for example) and Australians (a.o. Sam Carter, Ben Alexander) in the team , as well as Leonardo Senotore (Argentina) and Tonga's Nili Latu.

Apparently Reece Hodge has broken his ankle. Rumours Folau will move to centre.

Haha oh shit not much point selecting wingers if the ball has to go through him.

Hooper plays most of his game on the wing anyway, so no loss
The funny thing is that Hooper would make a decent midfielder

Yeah a lot of the Ozzies on the roar say the same thing. Wallabies best 7 is Pocock, tho he is a bit of a one trick pony
It’s a pretty decent trick though. The problem is the balance of the losse forward trio.
Aussie haven’t had a decently balanced loose forwards trio since Finegan, Smith and Kefu were doing their thing.

Not as much as Ardie would.
In fact Ardie would be head and shoulders better

Not a very good one.
Verb
losseto let, to allow
to let have
to leave undone
to leave in possession -
Doesn't feel like a Bledisloe test week. Could be because it's a dead rubber? Maybe because it is in Japan? Maybe because it's already Wednesday and Hansen hasn't baited Cheika yet.
Don't expect the last one to happen this week as the most rancid bait will be saved Eddie no doubt.

Plus the team hasn’t been named yet.
When is that by the way?
