All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe 2 Eden Park 14th Aug
-
Same two teams, same venue.
What changes do we see happening?
Does Coles come right and does he start or bench?
Any changes in the props?
I'd expect Scooter back on the bench.
Do they change up the loosies. I don't think this combo worked. Jake to 8 and Then a toss up between Ardie and Paps at 7 and 20. Prolly Paps to start with impact from Ardie.
RM did enough at 10 for me.
Rest of the backs, bar 15, unchanged. And even then I'm not sure whether to dump DMac, or who I would play there.
As for Aussie you'd expect Koroibete back. Not sure where else they can improve.
Tactics wise I like to see us being a bit more direct before getting cute. I do think what they're trying on attack is going to break down defences, but like all rugby you've got to get the defences on the back foot. We're trying to throw passes under too much pressure.
One more win and we keep Chuck.

NZR needs to reduce the ticket prices to get more people through the gate.
In this single instance, yes. Back to back at EP, with little notice -- I just acn't get excited enough about either team to fork out another $80.

Anyone know why Wellington got their test match taken away?

The plan was to play in concurrent weekends Auckland, Perth, weekend off, WElly.
Freezing the travel bubble stops that - so it's back to back in NZ, and then off to Aus. But ... this weekend is Beervana, and the stadium is full. So Eden Park is the option

That's brilliant. A thread-level @booboo, magic stuff.

Jordan to right wing.
Jodie Barrett to fullback.
Scott Barrett to the bench
Loosies Akira, Jacobson, and Ardie to start. Paps to the bench.
How far away are Moody and Ofa? They will make a big difference. -

Where All Blacks seek major change to lock away Bledisloe Cup
The All Blacks know they failed to display a ruthless edge against the Wallabies.
From a fitness perspective All Blacks hooker Dane Coles will undergo scans after another calf flare up forced a late change on the bench with Samisoni Taukei'aho taking his place. Coles' Hurricanes deputy, Asafo Aumua, is expected to re-join the squad this week after playing for Wellington in their victory over Northland on Saturday.
Blues prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi has gone under the knife for a second time in a matter of weeks to have another knee operation. Plumtree estimated Tu'ungafasi will be sidelined for a further three-to-four weeks. Ethan de Groot will remain with the squad as loosehead cover, while Joe Moody is nearing his return from foot surgery.
