Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

I like the opportunity for McReight off the bench as well. Really rate him but he's in a David Croft style logjam for 7 with Hooper and Liam Wright. Hope he goes well as he killed it at U20 and showed real promise for the Reds.
Interesting move to drop Gordon for McDermott but I think the young man has potential

21-year-old Caleb Clarke gave the Wallabies nightmares in a barnstorming All Blacks debut in Bledisloe II. Now the Wallabies are out for revenge for that 17-7 hammering, and they’ve put a target firmly on the winger’s back.17-7 I see what they did there.

Is that 9 Blues and 5 Crusaders? Honestly never thought I'd see the day. Better win!
Isn't there some bullshit saying about when Auckland rugby is strong?
Last time I heard it with any degree of certainty was 2003...😗

I don't even know who the fuck that journo is - assume as FoxSports sinks into obscurity they're just hiring random dickheads with the right school tie, and they don't know who the Wallabies are because their school is transitioning to AFL.

21-year-old Caleb Clarke gave the Wallabies nightmares in a barnstorming All Blacks debut in Bledisloe II. Now the Wallabies are out for revenge for that 17-7 hammering, and they’ve put a target firmly on the winger’s back. Daugunu told journalists on Wednesday: We’re looking forward to playing against him again on Saturday. “Our aim is to kick to him and contest (the ball) – for him to catch it so we can smash him. Our target for this week was him. I can’t wait to hit him.” Asked if the Kiwi gun had a target on his head, Daugunu simply said “yes.”
‘Can’t wait to hit him’: Wallabies out to ‘end’ breakout All Blacks star Caleb Clarke

And I guess as they will mostly looking at his back then that is the best place to put the target

Im also guessing with all this talk of "smashing him", that if does occur illegally, now that it is public there is likely to be a good old fashioned "handbags at five paces" with a few players running in. Adds to the theatre for this weekend
Is kicking to him to smash him it a legit tactic? I agree with @kirwan that it didnt work in SRA, so who knows if they will go through with it. I would say its probably more due to the fact that because none of them could tackle him last time and wanting to make a statement of intent, that they will make at least one tackle this time

maybe im too simple, i would have thought starving him of ball, maybe force him to come off his wing looking for it would be better

All smoke and mirrors I reckon.
These are the sorts of things all teams/coaches throw out before a test. Feeding crumbs to the masses thinking they’re being fed a meal!
