@Chris-B Ratima at 10 would be a Disaster Chris he's no Piri Weepu, he's simply a solid 9
Sorry - I meant to type Rivez Reihana.
somehow I guessed that is what you meant..

Underdog status is mine, you Eden-Park-loving Polish slags!
That's a bit unfair. This Polish slag loves any venue the ABs win at!

Wallabies star Will Skelton set to face the All Blacks with added bonus for Joe Schmidt
☔ The Australian giant endured a wasted trip to Toulon on Sunday night as La Rochelle’s match was postponed due to bad weather.

Giant? He's not even as big as his younger brother...

Combining what I'd pick with what is conceivable for TWM I get:
EDG/CT/TL/SB/TV/RD/SP/WS/CamR/DMac/JB/BP/CC/WJ/BB
TW/ST/FN/PT/LJ
Cortez R (if not 100 FC)/ALB/RII'd like to see us end with pack back 5 of LJ/RD/SP/PT/TV
Bring on ALB at 55. Lots of options: BB10/ALB12/JB15 at one extreme and ALB on for BP at other.
Likewise, RI can come on at 11, 13 or 14, depending on how things are playing out.
If I was selecting I'd try Lakai at 7 and RD at 8, bringing on LJ at 50/55. And would be very tempted by FH and TV starting with PT off bench (not going to happen).

Roigard, Love, Clarke, Jordie, Proctor, Narawa, Jordan
Ratima, DMac, Ioane
I don't really get the Love love - at 10.
If we're going for not Beaudy or Dmac, I'd rather try Ratima.
But, I'd rather try DMac.
I don't get it either Chris, maybe he may become a 10, but no way would I put him there now.
I also can't see many changes in team, or coaching group either. From what Razor said yesterday it basically same as , just better! Not saying I agree or disagree, just the impression I got. -
@NTA What's GOM action. Asking for a friend.

@NTA said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:
Loving the GOM action here lads, but given the players you've got returning, and the ones we've got out, this is going to be a massive challenge for the Wallabies.
Underdog status is mine, you Eden-Park-loving Polish slags!
You’re right.
SBW was on Facebook saying the ABs would bounce back with a huge performance. That’s good enough for me. Apologies, my ADD got the better of me and I scrolled past after seeing the new Mando trailer ( looks amazing by the way ) and lost it or else I’d share it on here.
That plus the fact it’s at Eden Park and it’s only Australia should see a comfortable 30 point margin of victory.

This is for Bledisloe 2 in Perth not Bledisloe 1 in Auckland.

Where is Mark Telea ? Injury ?
He's heading overseas and he's not from the Crusaders so Razor hasn't moved heaven and earth to be able to select him like Mo and LF.

Funny cause it's true.

There is an article by Paul Cully today which compares the ABs and Wallabies in the RC so far (4 games, same opponents). The online article is behind a paywall but the summary is that the ABs have been worse than Aust in nearly every statistical measure (by Opta).
964 m carrying v 1763 m
2.6 m per carry v 3.7 m
15 clean breaks v 32
ABs have beaten fewer defenders and produced less offloads
Scored the fewest number of points, and worst PD
82% tackles completion v 87% (making more tackles, but missing more too)
Lineout success is worse - 83% v 85%
Scrum on own ball - 90% v 100% -
