Bidwell almost seems to be suggesting that we field our weakest possible team to see how we get on.
The genie that isn't out of the bottle is never having lost to Argentina - and that's not one that can be put back in once it's happened.
Look at the Irish - they're fancying themselves to knock us over later this year and in Japan if it comes to it.
Wales have beaten us before ...
Yeah, before Rock n Roll was invented.

- Scott Barrett
- Patrick Tuipulotu
- Shannon Frizell
- Ardie Savea
- Luke Whitelock
Yikes.

The one that gets beaten by a decent NPC side...

That's sad. He makes a real point of difference when he comes on late in games.

I think he was going to get a start at 15 on no evidential basis of course, just Mabo.
@nepia I reckon he was gonna start 9 in this test, just a feeling..guess we will never know now though

Jesus, it's the year for props to have an early Christmas isn't it?

If the weather is shite it'll be tough and Beaudy better have his tactical kicking boots on! SBW will have to play 80 when Crotty goes off early, or Reiko to 13....
@Tim I think the front row is fine too. Locks and loosies will have to step up in the tackle/break down. -
Wow, good on Ta'avao! What a year for him. I'm not that worried about the FR, apart from hooker. Perry has shown he deserves to be there so far, Ta'avao has been very good this year.
I'm more worried about what happens when SBW and Crotty disappear before halftime and Naholo/Smith gets an injury. TJP to the wing again I guess.

Every prop is either a current or former Blues player. Three of them deserve to be there. Perry is a steaming pile of poo
