Wallabies named
- Angus Bell (22 Tests) 2. David Porecki (13 Tests) 3. Pone Fa’amausili (4 Tests)
Consistency + injury replacement
- Nick Frost (11 Tests) 5. Richie Arnold (3 Tests)
Frost yes. Arnold....
- Tom Hooper (2 Tests) 7. Fraser McReight (11 Tests) 8. Rob Valetini (33 Tests)
Maybe a bit unfair on Holloway but McReight given a chance to get on the place
- Tate McDermott (c) (24 Tests) 10. Carter Gordon (3 Tests) 11. Marika Koroibete (54 Tests) 12. Samu Kerevi (44 Tests) 13. Jordan Petaia (26 Tests) 14. Mark Nawaqanitawase (5 Tests) 15. Andrew Kellaway (22 Tests)
Consistency. Good to see. Won't make a difference, but good to see.
Finishers
16. Jordan Uelese (18 Tests) 17. James Slipper (130 Tests) 18. Zane Nonggorr (1 Test) 19. Will Skelton (27 Tests) 20. Rob Leota (15 Tests)
21. Nic White (62 Tests) 22. Quade Cooper (79 Tests) 23. Izaia Perese (4 Tests)Same but different with the loss of Tupou (again: why the fuck did he take up 2 plane seats getting over there?).
Skelton rotates with Arnold. Not bad policy.
Still, ABs by 40.

I understand why, but it still seems a bit farked up that Melbourne gets the A team and Dunedin gets the B team.

Yeah but I read it as today. Don't dismiss my lived experience.

I reckon mounga on bench for emergency, dmac plays the full 80

Ha ha. Lot of posters with egg on faces with the selection for this weekend.

@Rancid-Schnitzel There was probably more kiwis at the game in Melbourne than there will be in Dunners...
-
Fucking stubborn Foster. Still can't shake SF on the blind.
Forward pack looks handy I reckon, not one I'd cringe at against any other side.
Like that SS gets his debut with DMac running the cutter, their combination is the cherry on top for Stevenson's form. Just hope Christie and Ennor don't ruin it for the back 3.

Do we know if it's a day game due to FIFA World Cup or teams needing to fly out same day or family friendly?
Understand it's FIFA.
Appears they didn't want game at the same time as WC game.
I expect that they would still have control of the stadium so sounds like they're being nice.

Be interesting how DMac goes at ten with the Christie brake, rather than the Smith slickness

Yes, NZR had to get permission to use FBS early.
There will be NPC and FPC games that clash with the football, but obviously they won't draw the same number of people.

But not in FIFA Stadiums
