All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

[taniwharugby]

Wow, a day time kick off!

[sparky]

1. Let the guys going offshore get a great send off.

2. Look at the two or three up in the air positions.

3. Beat the Aussies again.

Lunchtime our way. Afternoon snooze likely called for.

Ah yeah. Be nice to give Aaron a send off. Reckon they will.

But the above is what I'd do, coz I'm heartless (and don't actually have to make that call ...).

[sparky]

Something like: Williams, Coles, Newell, Whitelock, Vaa’i, Finau, Cane (c), Jacobson, Smith, Mo’unga, Leicester F, ALB, R. ioane, Narawa, Jordan.

Bench: Sami T, De Groot, Laulala, Lord, Frizell, Roigard. DMac, McLeod or Ennor

[booboo]

Vaa’i

So no send off for BBBR?

[sparky]

@booboo Is he definitely going? I might start him from the bench.

[BerniesCorner]

Still scratching my head in disbelief that compared to a year ago we have some devastating wingers, a solid 2nd five, RM and SF fulfilling their potential, Sco Bar Beast mode activated and a front row.
By crikey the gods are smiling.

[sparky]

@BerniesCorner Happy days, the possibility of injuries and the French being awesome are the main concerns.

[Bones]

@BerniesCorner Takes some astonishing coaching to get it to all line up like that at the top level eh.

[BerniesCorner]

Sir Foz ultimate long game strategist

[taniwharugby]

@Bones and a bit of luck, and some decisions forced upon him...but hey, regardless of what happens from here, the last 5 or so years (yes i know Foz wasnt at the helm then, but the rot set in way back) have still been average with some unwanted records.

[Bovidae]

It's hard to know where the injured players are at, but Jordan starting at fullback would be good. Maybe Clarke gets a start on the left wing.

[BerniesCorner]

@taniwharugby Been kinda painful to get where we are but I'm thankful.
Rapt for SF/RM/Foz/Cane/JB

[NTA]

Start whoever the fuck you want.

Last week will be a pleasant memory compared to what happens next Saturday

[booboo]

Now you ask ... dunno ...

[SBW1]

Who are the Wallabies going to field Thor and their captain will surely be out.

[Victor Meldrew]

Can't remember the last time we had the relative luxury of being able to try a few new things out - we've been scrambling around avoiding the loss for years.

Think we might see some of the more experienced players in the starting XV - ALB, DMac, Ofa and poss. Coles - along with newbies like Jacobson, Lord & Leicester. Finau, Ennor on the bench with Roigard getting some decent game time. Sami T seems to be the impact replacement hooker say maybe on the bench?

[nostrildamus]

I liked the look of Jordan at 15.
