Don't forget he was a 12 before he was a fullback
oh shit, true? fuck, why didn't someone bring this up before? I've literally never head this before.

You did know that Mealamu was a flanker before he was a hooker though, right?

I hope to see more players given time in the next match. Despite the win a few Abs underperformed their capability in my view. Goodhue is solid but seems to have lost agility. I would like to see jodie at 12 for a burst. Patty t and Tuinukiafe were a bit subdued. So hope to see Vaai back and switches at prop. Nice if Weber Reece Jordan and Aumua get a go. Akira must be due a start finally also. Very pleased to see Sam Whitelock regain his vigorous involvement without the burden of captaincy too.
I think I may have insinuated that a couple of times as well. He's definitely not a winger.

Jordie's best position is FB. Thats were he should start with BB either starting at 1st. Or in the reserves

The Aust first and second were crap.
So some good news fore them
The star playmaker's absence left Noah Lolesio and Irae Simone as the first 10-12 combination to make a debut for Australia since 1985, and the pair struggled behind a well beaten pack in the record 43-5 loss.
But Wallabies sources have said O'Connor is almost a certain starter for the fourth and final Bledisloe Cup test at Suncorp Stadium.

It may well be his best position (which I agree) but he’s not the best test fullback in the AB squad.

JOC's presence or lack thereof won't make a difference if we keep making stupid mistakes
a proven 10 takes pressure to 'make a play' off, though, and the experience steadies folk.
He's been really good since he came back from NH

@NTA said in Bledisloe Four: Brisbane, 7 November:
@nzzp agreed that having experience is better BUT his was the midfield kick that allowed Clarke to run over 8 Wallabies in Auckland
That wasn't best kick by JOC 2.0 (as Aussies boards are calling him), but tacklers/chasers did have something to do with that.

I disagree. He was easily the best FB during super rugby. But the selectors want to fit both Barrett's in so he ends up on the wing

He was in very good form for SRA, but as it stands he’s unproven at test level as a fullback, so whilst we have a quality test fullback in the team, the coaches have decided to select that guy.
Given we got to see a bit more of how they want Beaudie and Mo’unga to operate in tandem, it’s a little more clearer what they are trying to do.
Is it possible that Beaudie at 10 and Jordie at 15 could do that, very possible given some of the skill set, but we’ll wait and see if that gets a shot in the next 3 tests.
-
Maybe the likes of Jordan, Laumape and Akira get a chance.
“There will be some changes,’’ All Blacks forwards coach John Plumtree confirmed Tuesday. “Yes, we have got some players knocking on the door. There has been some awesome competition for spots, and we can expect some changes to freshen players up and we also want to see, as selectors, players that have performed really well during Super.’’ -

Christ talk about favouritism.
You need to encourage Jordie to keep up the sprint training and Scott to keep up the rehab work. I hate it when you favour Beaudie over them.
