Bledisloe #2

Sam Whitelock and Pat T huge. K Read MOM.

Pat had a huge game. One offload when he didn’t need to but some bigs hits and dominant in contact.

@Victor-Meldrew We flogged Australia last year too. Need to keep it up against SA etc.

Sonny quietly had one of his better games in black

I had written him off but a big man running at the line with front foot ball looks very good.

Thought he was strong, plugged up the channel, and played with a controlled physicality that we have been screaming out for. Hope Richie M is okay too

Flicked a switch at the 30 minute mark and never looked back. Long overdue bliss

Sam W was a LOT more physical tonight.

westcoastie

i have a sneaky feeling they'll take.
2 9's - smith, tjp
2 10's - mounga, bb
5 midfields - obvious
5 back threes - bfa, ioane, bridge, reece, jbarrett.

ennor will miss out,
they take 5 midfield, because laumape or alb could easy go wing vs. a minnow
might even take 3 9s and 4 of that back three with jbarrett to miss

Hansens got some big calls to make

Good problems to have

Pie Guts didn’t want to have to do it before Japan but his hand was forced. He reluctantly broke the seal on a barrel of finest quality dried powder - let’s hope he’s got some more where that came from.

@BerniesCorner Who's going to be the 2nd loose head prop? Moli or Karl T?

pakman

For me RWC backline sorted:

Nugget/TJP/Weber/BB/RM/ALB/Goodhue/SBW/Crotty(if fit)/Rieko/Bender/Reece/Bridge/Jordie.

No way they only take 2 9s. Remember it’s minimum 48 hours before you can bring in a replacement...and the replaced player is ruled out.

Based on tonight it's Owen or Karl T for RWC as Ofa answered questioned all questions Tupou asked at LH and Laulala booked his seat.

Bridge and Reece booked their tickets. Energy and accuracy.

Richie is still smiling. Hope that means he's okay.

Sometimes you just play the wingers that look like they want the ball

Perfect timing. They will be hard to scout against, could be our secret weapons a-la NMS in 2015
