Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11

I’m surprised that they don’t seem to see Jordie as second playmaker - really they’ve got three out there. It’s a strange replacement .
And if both Clarke and Bridge are only 11s, that also means that we don’t have right wing cover on the bench or in the team, so one or both of them are covering 14.
I’d have put Clarke in and switched Bridge over, with Dmac to the bench (as they need 10 cover). Feel a bit sorry for Joane who should have been there from the start and could have got a bench role here.

TAB punters don't seem to have minded this news.
When I looked earlier today, I think we were something like $1.13 to $5.80 to win (Oz was under $6 at any rate).
Now, we're $1.08 to $6.70.
I've decided to place an insurance bet!
Probably most don't realise the change

Ioane has played right wing

Fucking hell the "Foster year(s)" are going to be fun. When I heard the news I thought well at least Jordie will be in his rightful position and Clarke will start. But no of course not, we have to bring in DMac, in the worst form of his life, from outside the 23 to start. Duh.
Jordie isn't a wing at all. Makes far more sense to swap Bridge across.
-
@No-Quarter or Reece in. It's not like Jordie hasn't been doing second playmaker from 15 all season for the canes. Maybe it's a THREE playmaker system now!

This test needs to be brought forward to tonight to put us out of our misery 😎

I'm still not happy with the backline but I hope DMac has a blinder and brings the form he found for Waikato before going into camp.
Also means that if either BB or RM aren't available (which is quite possible given the campaign coming up) we have more form options.
DMac and JB has worked before, now let's hope we get some late Clarke action that forces the decision on the left. -
All we need now is one of Whitelock or Tuipoluto to go down before tomorrow and we’re starting a lock that half the AB squad don’t even know 😉

But according to some he's a 12, not a 10 (or a 14 or 15)

Think Oz might win this.
Let’s not get carried away

The flakiest player in NZ who shouldn't be anywhere near the 46 gets a start lol.
Who is that? Jordie?
