So what do we do at 15? And also midfield failed again. I wonder if Laumape needs some time with Crotty outside him.

We've got Jordie DMac and NMS along with Dagg. I look at BFAs sabbatical as an opportunity for these guys

They just showed a few examples of why Dmac's lack of height is a problem. When competing for the high ball with a much taller player (Folau, who obviously won the contest), when isolated at the back of the field (being run over) etc. It's clear why opposition teams will target him.

A Smith trying the A Savea haircut so people might not be sure which one of them is sneaking into an airport toilet

@akan004 Cheika obviously missed two AB tries being disallowed.
With a coach who always feels the world is against his team, they will never improve.
Foley reckons the Wallabies were in control of the game right throughout. Is that why you gave up a 17 point lead, you farking idiot? I really hope we demolish them in Brisbane. Sick of them talking themselves up all the time.

That won't happen. They will be managing players as that Test is just before the EOYT. I expect they will name a team with a few fringe players and rest those that have had lots of minutes this year.

@Tim said in Bledisloe 2:
@canefan Havili, DMac, BB, Dagg, and NMS are the options in the squad.
They are all options but I don't know who I would go with. I think I would prefer Dagg get some time there, though his last outing at 15 didn't go so well.

I think the problem with D Mac is that he doesn't seem like he will be able to overcome his problems.
I suppose Dagg will be at 14 in two weeks time and we might get to see Havili?

Jordie is gone for year, he won't be playing.

A great game to watch if you're sitting on the fence. You'll be a bit surly if your an Aussie fan, probably also if you're an All Black fan. DMac at the back makes me think of the word "frenetic". Maybe it's because Dagg and Smith don't try and be unpredictable, but always felt DMac was going to have a brain fart at any second.

@akan004
Cheika seems to forget that first half penalty try Owens also forgot to give (when the Aussie Nr.6 touched the ball while retreating from an offside position only two metres from his own goal line).@cgrant said in Bledisloe 2:

I wonder if it wasn't actually a forward pass from Smith anyway. I was sort of pissed at Smith because if he threw a good pass to Ioane, he might have scored anyway. If Hanigan if forced to make a tackle from an offside position, then it is definitely a yellow card and penalty try. I would have been tempted to give a yellow but, to balance that out, players have to be allowed to retreat and players should not be rewarded for milking penalties.
