Fears : Jordan under Pollard's bombs - lineout because of the smallest ever FL trio of the professional era - lack of speed on the wings.
Hopes : quick ball for DMac as Ratima's passing is sharper than TJP's - Scrum should work even better thanks to its cohesion (same starting front five) - Pollard less dangerous than Feinberg with ball in hand.If we can get Ratima , Reece and Telea making 5/6 yards in and around the ruck keeping their forwards occupied it will go along away to creating space out wide.
Hopefully Jordan has a crack wifh one or two counter attacks early doors to remind them kicking deep comes with consequences.
Similarly , any penalty within 60 meters and Jordie should be having a shot. Can’t believe we didn’t do it last week. Just to lay down a marker.

ABs by 10. We weren’t fall apart in the last 15 this week.

I really don’t understand what the point of these interviews are
NZ and Ireland are corporate middle management rhetoric up the wazoo.
The Irish copied us, as they thought we were best in class. It’s just insufferable. Inane. Robots.
“In that space”
“Learnings”
“Best foot forward”
“Looking forward to the challenge”
“Look within ourselves”
“Walk towards the challenge”
“Find your why”
No insight, no passion, no rallying cries, no snide remarks, no barbs, no insinuation, no threats. Nothing.
The same speech regardless of opponent.

@Jet It’s pretty funny watching SB try remember his media training in realtime though.
And it’s not totally his fault. The quality of questions is shocking.
Just once I’d like to see something like:
You think you’ve got the wood on the boks at scrums?
So that’s an area you feel you can get dominance?
So fans should expect the scrum to stay straight on the bok feed?
As opposed to wheeling like it did on several scrums the boks fed last week.
Was there any reason that only happened in the AB 22?
Same coincidence that the scrum didn’t wheel on AB put ins?
Same sort of coincidence that the scrum only collapsed on AB feeds?
And never in the AB 22?
Going back to how you plan to attain scrum dominance, should we expect the ABs to keep the ball in the scrum longer this week instead of the quick strike we saw last week?
Thanks Scotty, you’ve been a lovely, lovely witness.
