Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth)
-
who was it that implemented the less than successful "flat backline"? Was that Wayne SMith?
-
@taniwharugby The Ella brothers.
-
@old-samurai-jack I dont recall them playing for us
Either way, that was probably the only real blip for Smith as an AB coach.

Kerevi set for Wallabies re-call against All Blacks
Samu Kerevi will start for the Wallabies on Sunday, two years after his last appearance and a move to Japan
Samu Kerevi will start for the Wallabies on Sunday, two years after his last appearance and a move to Japan he feared would end his Test career.
The explosive tackle-buster will be named at inside centre against New Zealand in Perth, replacing Hunter Paisami who returned home for the birth of his child.
He’s back in the Wallabies fold now thanks to a relaxation of the Giteau Law, the veteran of 33 Tests one of two overseas-based players allowed despite not meeting the 60-cap qualification.
-
Dave Rennie shuffling deckchairs. Obviously not a fan of established partnerships.
-
i really rated Kerevi when he left, i hope for Australia's sake he comes back the same player.

@machpants I love watching AB rugby and the Skillz (TM) on display, no team does it better
But what I really love is when an AB pack comes out totally fired up against a full French or English pack who are ALSO totally fired up and gradually not just get "parity" but beat them head on physically. Often that takes 65+ minutes and it's 9-6 or 6-9 but the other side is dead on their feet by then
THEN you can show the skills and maybe let BB shovel a pass to 12 to run a crash ball and set up next forward phase
I'm half joking tbh, but the great teams know when that upfront edge is pretty mainly what is needed on a certain day ... it seems to go missing sometimes in the ABs the last few years.
If not NZ, I really hope France win the next world cup btw

Yeah that is what I was thinking but then I thought why would you ever bother? Surely it isn't that

did @LandP coin the term Skillz (with a z)? i wonder if they also did "old skool"

Skills are what bogan hairdressers have so they can open their shops called "Shaz's Cuts", "Hot Snipz", "Kurlz", "Charmainez" etc

Yeah. A glass or two of wine may have contributed.
I will reformalise my writing.
