Well for all the moans, I like the look of this team. Would be pretty close to what I would pick. Think Ardie is back at 8 because that's wheer he will be playing when Cane back, so get the team close as possible to how they see it. Jordan a little unlucky, but still think he will get a run over next few weeks. I have no problem with DMac at 15, he goes pretty well there, and comes into line pretty well. Bench looks good, Scott Barrett gives can play both 5 or 6, so is handy to have, think with Jordie on bench maybe they not to keen on Reiko in midfield as he can cover 15 or 12. Jacobson obviously a little unlucky, but that happens when you in AB squad, there always good players missing out.

DMac has proven time again he is a great super sub....so we start him, its like fozzie is coaching in the 80 and has missed the fact the subs are a specialist position in their own right often
Yeah, I don't mind DMac on the bench as he can be a handful against tiring defense. But no way he should be starting.

Not sure about that back three's ability under the ball.
A game against SA would have a totally different back three with Jordan and JB in there to provide extra height.
The Boks have a relatively small back 3. If we had an uninjured Jordan in there our back 3 would be bigger.
That's my point. I don't think we'd see DMac and Reece, maybe only one of them. Reece is the more suspect IMO.
Kolbe has had his problems under the high ball in the BIL series.

Overall I’m happy with it ,
Like the idea of dalton as a test 7 looking forward , he may even play the cane role better than cane , and Ive got nothing but respect for what cane has done , warrior

Who’s the ref for this one?
No official announcement yet, which makes me think it will be NZ/Aust refs. Unless the likes of Peyper have been in MIQ.
I thought that might be the case, no appointments showing on the World Rugby site for any of the RC Tests.

@bovidae said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe 1 Eden Park 7th Aug:
Looking at the NPC refereeing appointments, no Fraser or Williams listed. O'Keeffe and Berry are in SA. Is Gardner fit now?
Not if I can intercept him on the way to Eden Park.
I'd be much happier with Peyper. Much.

jesus, it's like they make a couple of decisions just to fuck with the public. It all looks so good, and then we end up with fucking Ardie at 8 again.
Nek minnit: Ardie MOTM.

That team is going to fucking spank us. Where is Jordie on the wing? Akira Ioane at 6? Brodie Retallick back.
Ballsacks.
Alright @Derpus what are we going down by? Auckland will be overcast and dry (for Auckland) around 13C at kickoff.
I'll say ABs 53-12 Wobs.

i give it as much credence as Fifita putting in a shift against Argentina when they were average.

Right after we got nailed for a red card in the 5th minute. And we scraped it against a French second- or third-string team who should have had a 2-0 win at that point.
