Stoked to see PUJ get a spot on the bench for this afternoons game. I’ve been passionately backing this kid since he’s come out of school and this year he has truely come into his own.
I hope he takes his opportunity with both hands.

Is that confirmed?

The sad thing about this game is that we could win but everything is still not headed in the right direction.
Manner of play will be more important. If we scuff our way to victory it will just paper over the cracks for a week

ABs 31-23
I see what you're doing there
Look, I revised by original scoreline so what else can I do?

ABS 58, Wobs 3.
I'm assuming Wilson won't play having missed yesterday's run and team photo with illness. That isn't the reason for the scoreline tho.
While I appreciate Rennie is a good coach and has come in with a fresh set of eyes, I'm not yet convinced that we have the consistency in these players to perform two weeks in a row.
Meanwhile - and despite the selection waffle going on east of the Ta$man - I think there is the core components of the AB side to fire the fuck up and get the job done.
While he's a complete fuckwit, Coles is back to strengthen the ground game.
Cane is a helluva player.
Smith remains class at 9.
Despite this smokescreen of picking centres out of position, the return of ALB is a good choice to help bring some stability to the backline.
Beaugan will add some sparkle and that Clarke kid is a weapon.I will back our blokes to make a game of it, but I'm realistic enough to understand that we've been at the edge of this cliff before, and it has been a couple of decades since we were worthy of a win anywhere in NZ, much less Eden Park.

@NTA just messing with you mate. We rarely lose at EP. And after an off colour performance last week you would expect some sort of backlash
And unlike the past few years I think our guys will respond a bit as well. Rennie has basically said "get it right or next in line" which I hope the guys respond to

Weather looking good - seems ideal conditions for footy.
Warm and fine here. No rain for some time so the track will be dry

Definitely a different feel to them, instead of the bluster of Cheika. Very understated

Funny game this one in that our (my) biggest hope for a win is the fucking ground it's being played at!
It's the only reason I didn't advise my ocker mate to put a lazy tenner on his team.
More hope in the stadium than the team - crazy
History says I should have more confidence and faith than I'm currently feeling!
