Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

@Chris was actually questioning @bayimports assertion that he won't play because "the coaches don't like him".
He won't play cause he's not quite high enough in their plans.
Does fit with the JK story too though.
Being the best winger in the world doesn't make you a good analyst I'm afraid.

Stevenson in squad wont play (coaches don't like him)
I'd question that. Of the outside backs he was the last chosen after (in mo particular order) Barrett, Barrett, Jordan, MacKenzie, Telea, Narawa, Clarke...
He's just not the priority.
You must be playing Captain Obvious today 😁, it’s the same thing in my mind. He was chosen as cover only, so for me is always last priority. That part of the comment was referencing why was arguably super rugby’s best fullback not selected initially and then only making it as cover only.

- I thought Roigard would make the bench, but would be ballsy to have two debutants as back reserves
I would start him.
Nuggie needs to go into a bit of cotton wool and Fozzie needs to see how Roigard copes with a pressure test match.
This one has the Bled Cup in play, so it may be our last live one before RWC.

If Australia gets all of their best
XV and the reserves, the rest
they could easily fuck
any team with no luck
in any international test -

There is some rationale for using this match to rotate the midfield given the disruption to the Wallaby midfield. I wonder if Rieko is given a week off. I'd prefer not.
DMac at 15 could be another option meaning bench for both alb and dallas.
The Bledisloe
Please wait for rotations until it is safe for Razors long reign

I’m starting to think this game might be tighter than the form suggests .
Aussies will surely improve with the increased time together with the new coach, and not so certain we will go into it with the same ferocity that we did against the boks .
All Blacks also tend to bring the best out in the Wobblies

Sounds like it could be 9 McDermott 10 Gordon 13 Petaia 15 Kellaway and 23 Perese for the Wallabies.
I think it's the right call. I can see Wallabies wide game stressing the ABs defence.
Eddie is not going to die trying. Stuff continuity he’s going to use the run up to RWC to find his best team, mix and match. Good on him.
