Bledisloe #2

i have a sneaky feeling they'll take.
2 9's - smith, tjp
2 10's - mounga, bb
5 midfields - obvious
5 back threes - bfa, ioane, bridge, reece, jbarrett.

ennor will miss out,
they take 5 midfield, because laumape or alb could easy go wing vs. a minnow
might even take 3 9s and 4 of that back three with jbarrett to miss

Hansens got some big calls to make

Good problems to have

Pie Guts didn’t want to have to do it before Japan but his hand was forced. He reluctantly broke the seal on a barrel of finest quality dried powder - let’s hope he’s got some more where that came from.

@BerniesCorner Who's going to be the 2nd loose head prop? Moli or Karl T?

[pakman]

For me RWC backline sorted:

Nugget/TJP/Weber/BB/RM/ALB/Goodhue/SBW/Crotty(if fit)/Rieko/Bender/Reece/Bridge/Jordie.

No way they only take 2 9s. Remember it’s minimum 48 hours before you can bring in a replacement...and the replaced player is ruled out.

Based on tonight it's Owen or Karl T for RWC as Ofa answered questioned all questions Tupou asked at LH and Laulala booked his seat.

Bridge and Reece booked their tickets. Energy and accuracy.

[Stargazer]

Richie is still smiling. Hope that means he's okay.

Sometimes you just play the wingers that look like they want the ball

Perfect timing. They will be hard to scout against, could be our secret weapons a-la NMS in 2015

Sam W was a LOT more physical tonight.

Both Sam’s stepped it up tonight.

[Machpants]

I was so fucking wrong! My stupidity know no bounds. It's awesome!

[Nevorian]

please tell me Ardie was man of the match

[BerniesCorner]

Steven Hansen smarter than Steven Jones

[Rapido]

God to see the AB forwards commit in numbers and actually protect their own ball, and occasionally compete on opposition rucks.

In fact, only saw the dinky flat short pass stuff by the forwards on the advantage line once, we got isolated and turned over of course when we tried it (52nd minute for the interested anoraks out there)..

Anyone called Steven is smarter on rugby than Jones
