All Blacks vs Wallabies I
-
Forwards look fine today - the front 5 have looked increasingly solid and Cane and Sititi were excellent. Agree with resting Ardie but wonder about keeping Sititi at 6 and putting LJ at 8.
Like to see Robertson roll the dice in the backs but I'd keep DMac at 10 as another run out with Ratima is worth a try.

This is long overdue.

Where the hell do we go from here?
Sydney for a roughly 30 point win I'd say.
Then Wellington for 40+

You're pretty confident for someone that just shipped 60 vs Argy...
I first saw this and thought 'haha good banter'
Now it stings

If you want to rest DMac I'd have Plummer at 10.

I think we need to swap out DMac at 10 and give Beaudy a run there.
Jordan was hopeless at 15 today so wouldn’t mind him shifting back to 14, with Clarke / Ioane on the left.
Jordie and Ioane haven’t been up to scratch in the centres so I’d be happy if that ALB / Proctor combo gets another run together.
I think our tight five is the best we have, don’t really know what to do there and for the loosies I liked what I saw from Sititi today, is it time for him to get a crack at 8 with Ardie not being up to it either.
Wouldn’t mind seeing something along the lines of this 23 for the first Aus test to give some guys a reminder that their spot in the AB 15 isn’t a given.

I’m not comfortable with Barrett at 10 but that pales into insignificance next to Blackadder waltzing back in at blindside.
-
@Canes4life Beauden at 10? Fuck off. I'm not even reading the rest. Beauden in the 23 at all is a waste of everybody's time.

I forgot about Plummer, would be happy to see him get a run now that we are facing minnows for the next couple of games. I just hope Razor isn't reluctant to throw young guys into the fray after consecutive losses because it's exactly what we need. South Africa aren't scared of giving a 20-year-old runs in the hot seat, Razor needs to be a bit more ballsy with his selections IMO.
Going back to Plummer, it would be nice have someone that's a little more measured running the ship. The ABs looked like headless chooks out there today and I can't see it improving with DMac at the helm with his helter skelter style.

I completely forgot about Plummer so he gets the 10 jersey for me. I only put Beaudy in there because I thought we had no one else.
DMac can sit in the naughty chair after missing a shot right in front. Inexcusable.
-
@Canes4life remember when NZ fans were aggrieved at Colin Slade and Cruden getting game time. Oh to have either of them available now 😂

Is it really that good banter? The bloody Boks win two RC's a decade and this is what we have to put up with.
Also, if we clean sweep the Wobs and the Boks clean sweep the Argies then we'll finish second.

My starting 15 for the Wallabies
15 Love (more solid option than Jordan)
14 Reiko
13 Proctor (time for a real centre)
12 Jordie or ALB
11 Clarke (two fast power wingers)
10 DMac (Plummer to see significant minutes if game is safe)
9 Ratima
8 Savea
7 Cane / Papalii
6 Sititi (the future)
5 Barrett
4 Vaii
3 Lomax
2 Taylor
1 Williams -

Waltzing? Really? Those ballroom floors are hard and slippery. Agree with you on 10 as well.

Frank's team, give Sititi a go at 8 and bench Ardie.
It is prob heresy to the Cantabs but SB is not peak Barrett. Nor really pulling his weight as captain, can't even control TJP's gob! -

Yeah I think we are about 20-30 points better than the Wallabies
However I thought there's a similar gap between us the Argentinians.. This AB side is profoundly stupid and can really fuck up winning positions or get into trouble against sides they shouldn't
I expect two big victories but wouldn't surprised if we have our clown shoes on again

It definitely helps that the wallabies are an absolutely appalling team at the moment
