All Blacks vs Wallabies I
-
@Canes4life remember when NZ fans were aggrieved at Colin Slade and Cruden getting game time. Oh to have either of them available now 😂

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
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 -

I’m not comfortable with Barrett at 10 but that pales into insignificance next to Blackadder waltzing back in at blindside.
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

With his history treading carefully is preferable to waltzing

We all agree that if we lose against this Wallabies side Razor should be sacked?
Lose the Bled yes. Drop one with Oz playing a blinder then he has to blitz EOY otherwise cya later gater
Not that it will happen
-
Good news in the short term (I.e. trying to win this game) is the atmosphere out at Homebush is unlikely to be problematic
-
Wallabies have a woeful record at Homebush
-
Any goodwill the Wallabies have built up just got erased with their largest ever defeat overnight
-
Swans are playing a home preliminary/semi final the same weekend
-
A large portion of the crowd that bother to go will be AB fans
Not that a shit Bledisloe crowd in Sydney is great news for NZ rugby in the medium to long term

@Kirwan Now the equation is drop one against the Wallabies and he deserves the sack, especially after the Wallabies last showing. Abs probably learned a lot from their last two outings against the Boks, they were in both of those games, hardly a complete debarcle.

What will happen is we will fucking crush them and it will all be falsely roses
If we front against Aussie like we did last night against SA we should win well
-
This talk of sacking Razor is madness.
Yep we’ve lost too many games for anyones liking, however i can see clear improvement in tactics and the way we’re playing.
He’s slowly but surely bringing in fresh talent, though I’d like him to be a bit more ruthless with some of the underperforming senior players.
Boks are a good side, with the majority having been together for years, know how to win (much like our 2011-2015 ABs teams.
It’s not all doom and gloom, if we’re still making the same mistakes and losing close games in another 12 months then it’ll need a re-think.

No.
For me, on results alone the only unexpected result was Arg I.
I expect these guys to build a decent team.
I think we were hopeful (only hopeful) of one win in Africa. Gave ourselves two chances, which is more than many were expecting.
Mind you, I was always glass half full with Fozzie too.
