Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

the best part is when he said
"The New Zealanders think they are better than us. They always have"Well, yeah we do, because yeah we are. And the record backs that up. At Test level. At Super level.
They've beaten us 45 times in history. The ABs have won 122 times.
I sincerely hope the ABs know they are better and play accordingly.

Big weekend for the 'G with what i expect will be damn near a full house tonight.
And there will be a decent crowd at Richmond v Melbourne on Sunday as well

@Kirwan been many years since Rugby has had that sort of influence here, but hey, that's just old Eddie.
Part of me knows Aussie rugby needs the win, maybe an awesome game with us winning would help too, but I'd love his smile to be wiped off with a donut after 80 mins and no final minute controversy this time!

That’s a great ad and strap line

The G will be buzzing.
Not many tickets available for the Bledisloe or tonight’s rivalry clash.

3 games to the RWC and we haven't seen Leicester, Stevenson, McCleod or Finau.
Leicester = injured, Stevenson = not in squad, McLeod = really only there to cover ALB missing, Finau = cruelled by the fact Frizzle learned how to beat up on the field as well as in clubs.
We will see Leicester in Dunedin if recovered, might see Finau (rest Frizzle/Jacobsen shits the bed) but if ALB goes well we won't see McLeod, def won't see Stevenson
It only makes sense to me if they see Jordan as the back up fb .
For the squad - I reckon DMac is Beaudy's back-up i.e. if Beaudy gets injured, DMac slots in - they're the most like-for-like.
For this game, either Will or Jordie’s can cover fullback.
If we get comfortably ahead this week we might well see Richie subbed, Beaudy to first five and Will to fullback - allowing Fozzie to kill several birds with one stone.
I think the latter. I think we need to keep Will on the wing because his kick chase game from the wing is too good to change.

hate a player moving from 12 to 15, that's an enormous change in mindset and priorities 60 minutes in to a test match

@foobaNZ every Melbourne test match I’ve been to (every AB test since the 97 one and other Wallabies tests vs Lions etc), there have always been plenty of non-rugby followers. They love a big sporting occasion here and the G generally delivers that regardless of the sport.

Gotta feel sorry for the ground staff to have to change the posts out.
Don't bother with the rugby goals, lads. None of our kickers are good enough and the ABs will win handsomely on tries alone.

100%
Just put Dmac on the bench.
For this week, move Jordan.

One of his KPIs will definitely be ticket sales. And he's smashing that I reckon

I'm surprised he isn't known in here as the Clubber..

Like for like?
Apart from line management, standing flat, unpredictability, passing and kicking..
