I know it's not true, but I'd really like to think this is Taylor and Laulala on last chance saloon to show they're up to test rugby.
Reality will most likely show Taylor getting beaten around the park and losing a lineout or three, with Laulala getting beaten around the park and being penalised at a scrum or three.
DP to step up getting actual minutes in a familiar position he's been prepped for.
Jordan to have one blazing run but remain a spectator for the rest of the game.
Jordie to cause some issues for the wallaby defence and Clarke to cause even more issues.
I thought Newell was coming along nicely and doing as well as could be expected, joke that he gets dropped now.
If Taukieaho is a workload thing,, then why isn't the next best hooker starting?
Unfortunately, none of the selections are unexpected, a lot of stupid and before this year I would've thought very bizarre, but just commonplace now.

Eh? He's been cited?
May have read an erroneous Stuff article?!

I thought I saw that Swain tried to use it in his defence, but that's all there is to it I thought.

@No-Quarter Yeah, am fired up to see this backline on Saturday. Really hope to see Jordie's big body smashing through the line off short-balls!
If Jordie is successful at 12 then what an(other) indictment of Foster honestly. He wrote Barrett off as an option in the midfield during Super rugby and obviously had no intention of trying him there during this campaign, it's only injury that has forced his hand. Good luck rather than anything resembling good management.
He's better suited there of course. He's not the fastest and can look ungainly joining the line out wide, but in close his running style is perfect for heavy traffic and as a bigger body more effective than the other options. He can also kick, pass and possibly most importantly offload.
This backline is definitely exciting. Let's see if they can realize that potential.... Apologies if I just gave him the kiss of death.

What probably gets overlooked with Jordie since he first emerged as the skinny gangly kid ,
He really has grown into a big unit now , got a much harder physical look to him

Probably Foster's idea so he can distinguish between him and Reiko in midfield

Genius. Only a true coaching master would think of that.

I remember when Danny Lee came on .. we were like this guy is seriously average, thats the game completely fucked. Then he scored.
Ardie keeps trying to replicate Lee’s dummy
Holy shit, what a run from Broomhall !!!!

Jeez I wish Aaron Smith would try this 2-3 times per game...
