Soo good to see Roigard on the bench. Hopefully he has a blinder.

that team is a pleasant surprise
turn up with purpose and we could flog them.
Aus have picked a big quick backline so our forwards need to squash them and our kicking needs to be on point.

One of the things I like about the development of the team this year is we are starting to see depth off the bench, particularly with a couple of injured players to come back. Not very long ago the subs were a massive step down. Not so much now.
yeah that's a sweet bench. We look so much better with the 3 locks playing as locks. So much of that obviously rests on Frizzell maintaining his form.
But ST, Whitelock and ALB off the bench, and even clark and ofa, that's serious impact.
-
Starting to get a much calmer feeling of trust when I read the names on the team sheet.
Wasn’t expecting that
-
good team, looks like they will look to similar tactics to start like last week given the combination players. If we get up by some margin that bench looks like it could allow for different combos and tactics although clearly they are focused on win first
Frizz to hopefully continue momentum
-
Probably the best bench we've put out for a bit?
I'd rather ST start, but Codie earned the start again, not much to complain about.

or more a slow learner...?
lol what? The vast majority of the team have been in place for years.
