Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

@ACT-Crusader Yep. Look where that got us.
-
@Snowy I partially agree with you (esp at 9-10 and midfield) but it also requires faith in coach selections-that they are not so conservative or loyal they miss up and coming better players.

To an extent re loyalty, but I did say "pick your best team" so a Caleb Clarke would be picked not an encumbent just for the sake of it.

AB fans want us to build to be as strong as possible at the next world cup
this must be done while winning every single test between now and then picking the best team for every game
these wins should be dominant and by a double figure margin
and earned with beautiful free-flowing rugby. set up by dominant forwards in tight.
so no worries aye?
-
@mariner4life Yes. That's the spirit.
Those that think that winning all the time is bad are losers.
-
Anyone expecting big changes tomorrow should probably have a think about who the selection panel is.
I would suggest there will be no changes to the backs and but there could be a couple of changes in the forwards probably only daddy duties and concussion the only real changes, namely 8, probably 5 and 1. Bench could be interesting though
I will probably know soon enough if official timing is tomorrow

Speaking of the best players, Hamish Bidwell has an opinion:

Well that's a load of shite. Kirifi and Papalii have both had great games at Super level, it's plain wrong to suggest otherwise.

All sweet aye cuz.
And let’s not forget a coach that is slim, speaks eloquently to the media, and tells us why Akira isn’t selected in the starting lineup each test 😎

If the sauce is indeed the correct ingredient, then the guess above turns out to be very accurate, sorry wont post until later as too many journos have enough time to create stories this early. Fill in the blanks for starting XV, that was quite easy. If anyone correctly predicts the bench though they get a virtual beer, I didn't, most will get close, but in its entirety may not be so easy. Should at least create some fun for the afternoon.

Are they trying to fit even more 10's & 15's into the team?
I'll have stab and go with both Dmac and Jordan both on the bench (which makes no sense by the way).

Kirifi leapfrogs Papali'i and goes straight onto the bench?
He's been doing a lot of media this week

So if your guess is very accurate, Joe isn't playing, which means a start for Alex.
Bench: BK, Taylor, Lomax, Barrett, Kirifi, TJ, Ioane, Jordan.

Lachlan Boshier's All Blacks omission is no longer acceptable
