It would be nice to hear a question that results in the coaches looking uncomfortable. Perhaps in the heat of the moment immediately afterwards on a hot mic being caught calling the reporter a fluffybunny.
Do that and NZ Rugby ensures you don't get access to the team or coaching staff so in general MSM are a collective fan club -when interviewing.

I think Ardie and Paps should play 7 on the EOYT after Cane gets the 💯
Sititi to 8God fucking dammit if I see one more "Ardie should start at 7" post...
Based on fucking what? He's been at 8 for like 5 years. No part of his game looks like a restrained 7.
This feels like "Ardie is playing shit but it's not his fault" opinion because he's one of the black shirted untouchables
But Ardie played 7 last season in Japan.......
....like Scott Robertson set up an U19 team at Sumner Rugby ClubI remember when @kiwi_expat used to go on about Razor's heroics at Sumner all the time haha.

@voodoo oooh interesting.
I do think this Wallabies team are chance to win but they could just as easily get hammered.
Its unlikely the Wallabies will have to face a second half resurgence from the ABs like they did in that 2nd Pumas test.

That is still a pretty good Wallaby team, backline especially could fire. Bench might lack a bit but don’t expect this to be a walkover- ABs by 12.

Where’s Tizzano?

So is Dalton Pappalii just dropped completely from the 23?

Was last week too.
Could be the case that Jacobson is seen as the next best 7 behind Cane now.

Compared to the South African matches I feel a bit empty about this game.
I find that sad and hope it will change. -

I find that sad and hope it will change.I am very much the same.. its a little disconcerting to feel so meh.. towards a BC match.
ABs should win - however I don't see a win as a forgone conclusion ... wounded Wobblies, and they usually grow a leg against us
-
Obviously the Aussies are in a much weaker position than years ago but I think the mccaw era also took something out of them psychologically in how they view us and it’s never swung back .
Everyone talks about how the French were our nemesis but the Aussies also had their big moments against us in big games when we were favourites.
But that all stopped happening in that era , 11 and 15 WCs in particular.

@Mr-Fish guessing it's just seen as positional coverage and they don't see DP as at as high a level in that regard. Cane out once he hits a hundred?
It's entirely possible the selectors are doing it for coverage but if Papali'i were on the bench, it's not exactly as if there would be any massive issues if any one of the starters were injured.
Suppose we won't know for sure until Cane is given a rest/left out of the squad.
