All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II

[Bovidae]

A surprise!

[Kirwan]

Taking this super seriously, lol. Wallabies screwed if they win or lose now, win it's the B (C?) team, lose and it's a fucking disaster.

[Derpus]

@Kirwan is it, though? Pretty much all of those players are still better than their Wallaby counterparts.

[gt12]

That's a pretty shit team.

If certain players are poor, we'll have no better idea of whether it is them or the combinations.

[Machpants]

I'm going to put some money on the wallabies

[JK]

Well that team wont keep me home on a saturday arvo (unless its raining anyway)

@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.

@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.

Aus in to $7.50 here now..... quality AB's side

Sheesh... the silver lining I guess is that everyone in the team will be giving it death as they try and force their way into the main squad but my goodness, its the bottom of the barrel.

Surprised Lord didn't get a start over BBBR.

[KiwiMurph]

DMac at 10 and Jordan at 15 under the roof.

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

[mariner4life]

Also if this team is picked and asked to play the same as last week it probably won't go as well.

What's the point in Christie's selection?? Would have been better off giving Roigard the start to get some more international experience.

Would have also allowed for a 8-9 Canes combo

[Old Samurai Jack]

Love it! Foster showing some enterprise at last. Super interested in seeing how some of these players cope. Christie and Ennor are the only ones I would question.

@1kiwi

Maybe Christie is playing for his WC spot,Weber may still be in the picture.

Knowler also reported the same team, so maybe the journos read/steal each others stories.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bovidae Crusaders fanboy Knowler made his article about Jordan at 15.

[george33]

@Chris Christie is going

[Stag]

@KiwiMurph why wouldn’t he
