To put it mildly, what a fucking shitshow!

Changes I would make for the Wallabies test:

• Name the team on Wednesday. Controversial, I know, but scrap the Thursday palaver. Give the media and fans more time to review, critique and talk about the game.

What difference does it make how long we or media have got to critique the team? I mean it won't change anything. The coaches shouldn't have any care what anyone else thinks, they name team and last thing they need is extra time for people to try and convince the players they shouldn't be there.

So when is the team named? Asking for a friend.

Thusday lunchtime.

Razor been headbutted again?

When Papali’i headbutted Razor two other players witnessed it. One of those players sort of laughed thinking it was a joke however when words were exchanged, it was clear it wasn’t a joke. One of the players yelled out, go and get Sevu, to which both Dalton and Razor were seen fleeing the room with haste.

Is this satire o did this actually happen?

[nostrildamus]

Google AI said there was an incident involving league player Josh Papali'i. In Canberra. And that there may be confusion with rugby union and Dalton.

All of it is true except the part of Dalton fleeing in haste, he was seen jogging to the next ruck room

Fuck me. Points to a total lack of authority/respect

[African Monkey]

Where did this Papali'i headbutting Razor rumour come from lol.

[NTA]

Valetini out of the Bledisloe squad with a calf injury. Pete Samu in

[Smuts]

@NTA Merde. Love watching that Dragonball Z haircut having mofo play. Samu… not so much.

Give the Jordie/Quinn combo a start

Not confident about Tupaea's defence when playing centre. Seems a lot more comfortable at 12.

Totally. Perhaps shift JB to 15 for last 20?

@cgrant said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:

When Tuipolutu will be back again ? He is the best lock to have on the bench. Actually, I think that his combo with Holland could be the best association in the second row but this won't happen as SB is a lock in. Vaa'i's could be back at 6 with Parker on the bench.

@george33 said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:

@BerniesCorner I'd look at Patrick Tuipolutu for captain.
Holland doesn't do it for me
Wallace Sittiti definitely not captain would be lucky to hold his spot under different coaching set up.
There's trouble in camp.

I do agree with you George, Jason Holland doesn't do it for me either it's high time we give Nick Evans or Tyler Bleyendal a ring

[game_film]

@Jet I think these discussions should be prefixed with, ‘What are the worst refereeing performances of all time, besides Poite in the 3rd test?’ Everything else behind that.

[game_film]

@george33 George is always on the money. Something’s up. Might not hear it til post 2027 biographies but I believe him.

It's the only logical explanation for Dalton being excluded

[Bovidae]

Finau had his arm in a sling at the end of the Ta$man-Waikato game, so depending on the severity of the injury, there could be an addition to the squad.

Jeez, I hope not, but that would align with what @tim wrote a couple of days ago.

Ì'd be amazed if there's not. I'd imagine the ABs is very much like The Fern in terms of general happiness.

The only way to have a happy camp is to keep winning. There will still be plenty of malcontents - but, it's hard to muster a convincing argument against the establishment if you have an unbeaten season.

In the ABs, almost everyone will be thinking they should playing - and their mates should be playing - and the management is incompetent - and we should be doing this instead.

I've never worked for an organization where these conversations weren't happening and if things were going badly, they just intensified.
