Bledisloe 3

Damn distracting looking at stats. Here's another I spotted
Cane is about to join a special group of players that have played 50+ test matches with a win rate of 90% or more
Others are
Sam Whitelock
BBBR
Crockett
A Smith
Dagg
B Smith
BB
Coles
Cruden
Faumuina
J SaveaThen there is a whole bunch with 50+ tests and a win rate over 80%. All ABs except for the very bottom of the list with Kyran Bracken scraping in at 80.39.
PS: Both Nonu and Conrad just miss out on 90% by one win. That 2012 draw in Brisbane eh? 1 more point would have made one more win.
McCaw misses out by 3 wins. For that I blame Barnes.

@milk would actually be interesting to see the off the bench comparison. @booboo is still stats man right?
Love stats. But only easy ones about winning percentage and stuff. I'll leave individual stats to the true nerds.

@crucial said in BLEDISLOE 3:
espn stats have MH at 68 starts from 74 matches
Cane is 30 from 49
...like @Crucial

@nzzp Mehrts brilliant. Huge attempted clothsline on Cullen. If that had connected he really would be 'Beerbottle'!
Didn't look too bad until the reverse angle. Swinging stiff arm from Gregan. If that had connected these days it would be 6 weeks on the sideline.

Fixed.
Aw come on don't get prissy - someone had to make a stupid "FUCKEN KIWIS!" comment this week. The thread is comatose

That sucks. Ardie has been battling a bit for form, and Todd had earned another shot. Suspect he was going full noise at training and got unlucky. Stink bro. Does give Ardie a sniff though. Go hard son.
-
Some how I have completely ignored the fact this was to be played in bloody Brisbane. Now I have plans to watch this at a friends and I could have watched it live.
I do wonder if Julian being dropped has had an adverse effect on Ardie's form. Not having Julian within the set up etc. You'd like to think at this level such things are not factors but I do wonder.

Todd gooooone.
Ardie in.
Bit disappointed for Todd TBH, there was a hint he had moved ahead in the pecking order.

Indigenous jersey is getting some great promo in Brisbane.

@raznomore still a few tickets available Raz, expecting 52k at this stage.
-
If they get 50+ at this game that will be amazing. If I had to make a crowd prediction at half time in Bled 1, I'd say they would be lucky to get 10k.
A combination of good timing (no footy or cricket to compete against), good marketing (Indigenous jersey is a great idea) and good form since Bled I has saved the ARU.

@barbarian I checked on Ticketek last night and most sections had no tickets available, a few had 1 seat spots only and a couple of the Platnium sections still had blocks of 6 or so seats, so seems like a solid crowd.
