Bledisloe I

If we want something to discuss Paul Cully is saying that the ABs don't have a marked advantage on the bench anymore. I agree with him regarding Ofa T, who needs to provide the same impact as Charlie used to, but Crockett, Savea, TJP (on a good day) and ALB will add something.
I'm sure BBBR and Whitelock will go the 80 mins so Romano might not play much of a part. BB would have to move to fullback to accommodate Sopoaga.
But the Wallabies have Simmons and Phipps.

How did we get to this? the bledisloe thread is halfway down the page on the day we play it.
complacency.
It's not like we drew and lost our last two games, eh.
I'm actually really looking forward to this. Woke up and thought 'Bledisloe day' - awesome.
Its easy to underestimate the guys in Yellow due to their recent and past history...but its going to be interesting to see the impact of them having Mick Byrnes up-skilling them over the last 6weeks. Will their be noticeable difference in their attack ability, positional field kicking, and ball handling skills?
They do have talent in their backline but as a complete unit have not had a lot of game time together. -
@Centreman I think they have a very good attacking backline, and their tight five is underrated imo. Both their props are decent and their two locks are potentially world class. Coleman in particular is a beast.
It's their defence that I question. Grey is their defence coach and we all know how many tries the Tahs leaked under his coaching. You also have to take into account that Foley, Beale and Kerevi are terrible defenders. They might defend with Curtis Rona at 12 but that only plugs one hole. SBW, BB and the loosies will have a field day running through that channel imo.

Their blindside has had a bad habit of going missing for periods of games and McMahon must be the shortest number eight in the professional era.

Bono? I know he's not usually an 8 but he wasn't tall

Fuck Ticketek. Just got my mate a ticket, same section as where our tickets are, but a better spot, and half the price. What bullshit. This is the kind of crap that will have me watching the game on TV next year.
Rant over.
The Oz tabloids are going a but crazy with the ABs at the moment. Cheika got them on the payroll.
