Juicy odds for the Wallabies.
I think so - first outing for new combinations, new coaches, disrupted buildup - we could be ripe for the plucking.
Or be well up for it. Is it the first game for the oz as well?

I nearly mentioned you in that post... to say thank you VERY much for that ticket (sarcasm emoji).
Bastard.

My last job - in London, I asked in the interview whether the company had a box at Twickenham (as a half-joke, and a mate had dared me to). The answer was no, but they had heavy sponsorship of Wimbledon, Arsenal, various art galleries, etc - all the useless shit.
I completely forgot to ask about the Caketin in the job I just started. Unfortunately, I'm guessing the only similar thing these fluffybunnies might do is something to do with the America's Cup.

Interesting note - Deans and Cheika both won their first Bledisloe games as coach of Aus.
Both of those games were in Australia though, it's worth pointing out.
The odds are juicy for a reason. We've had a similar post-RWC turnover of key positions and coaches. Ours may prove more beneficial in the long run, but we're very much at square one of a 3-4 year process.
Expect to see a few inexperienced youngsters thrown in the deep end, a few new faces and combinations that may still be a year or two away. Guys like Noah Lolesio, Harry Wilson, Irae Simone, Filipo Daugunu.
We won't win, and supporters have their expectations suitably low. What we want to see is attitude - work ethic, enthusiasm, mongrel. It may lack polish (which will see us lose in the end), but at least if the attitude is there we will be happy. Or, as happy as you can be when you lose to NZ.

I hate the 4pm Sunday kick off times. Such a fucken shit time for people with young kids. Alternative is to watch at a bar with mates and be hungover at work to start the week.
Grumpy.
You must be a terrible drinker if a 90 minute session is enough to get you hungover the next day.
I think Sunday avo is an outstanding time particularly in the warmer more bbq friendly months.

You try meeting 8 people at Aikmans at 3pm on a Sunday and escape unscathed. You'd have to be a bit of a dry balls not to tuck in a little.

You can’t go that early though and you have to leave right on full time cos the kids need looking after. It’s not the 80s. You can’t just leave them in the car with coke and chippies.
