That's a really shit team. I don't think you learn much with that many changes, the new guys are on a hiding to nothing.
I'd try Stevenson, McLeod and Finau only. See how they go surrounded by the top selections in other positions.
Williams and Rogiard from the bench.
Exactly, hard to look good in a team that is basically brand new, it would be a mess

i thought this was just another "woe the wallabies" derpus post, but he's fucking right
on Sportsbet they are paying $17 and we are paying $1.01
That's fucking ridiculous -

@game_film This is a dead rubber and NZ could name 3 separate teams that would all beat the Wallabies. Wallabies are paying $21. I would be benching my entire starting 15.
There were some encouraging signs I thought last week.
But this isn't about Oz, IMO it doesn't help us for the World Cup. After the past few year's results, I'd rather storm into the tournament with a settled side and confidence and form.

This game is to figure out who makes the squad on Monday.
i struggle to believe that this game in any way has any bearing whatsoever on who gets selected Monday.

@Tordah Liam Napier is pretty damn reliable I'd suggest Stevenson is playing.
I hope you're - and he's - right. Don't think so, though. I doubt they are going to go with wholesale changes. All I'm reading is "likely", "expected", "could", and "possible".
As I said. Liam Napier is reliable.

3 debutants! it's like the old days when the first test of the season would be someone shit like Samoa or Scotland
weird team aye. Pack isn't bad despite Finau getting the first of his 100 caps and a newbie prop. Backline is definitely something. ALB the veteran, and at least he and DMac know each other.
If we can get good ball out of the pack, and one of Ennor or ALB plays dead straight off DMac they should be alright. But i've been fooled by an all out attack backline before that has no chemistry and just fumbles their way through the game
