      No it's not, they came up with SOO because they were sick of NSW thrashing Qld.

                I agree, it is getting boring.

                I'd shelve the 3rd Bledisloe, gets too repetitive. If you can't win 2/2 then you can't take the cup from the holder. We had to do it the hard way in 2003.

                Home and away in TRC is fine, but no more than 2x games against the same teams year in, year out.

                  All Blacks defeating the Wallabies is neither boring or unenjoyable. In 1998 my therapist told me that things would turn around. When I threw a brick through his front window in 2002 yelling liar, he still said it would turn around one day, just wait. So since 2003 I have been at peace and long may it continue 🙂

                      Can't see much changing. Main intrigue Todd or Ardie to start. Perhaps Crockett to start? On bench imagine Romano will remain, albeit Squire or Pat T both good options. Slight chnace Squire could be back up for Ardie. Would like to see Sopoaga get a run, but not likely given Shag's Cruden rap at start of week.

                      Sould know in 30...

                          Parsons gets another run. Thought Taylor was good on Saturday -- injury?

                            No, same team named as last week, bar the changes I mentioned above.

                                      Stuff has Taylor on the bench too.

                                      Also from the part I read on that AB.com article, no mention of Parsons when they're talking about all the other changes...

                                        This is all very easily answered by common sense.

                                        Why would Parsons be on the bench if Taylor is available?

                                        Ergo Taylor is on the bench.

                                          The mistake is obviously on the All Blacks website. This All Blacks instagram post - a GIF - also has Taylor, not Parsons.
