so my source was accurate again, I still dont know who it is, as i get it through a mate, but if we do beat Ireland will promise to post it early again next time, if I get the call again
-
Yeah leaked team was same one I was given from another source whos best mate is in the squad.
He's named a few of the teams so far accurately so have some trust

Experience, experience, experience.... then somehow we end up with four guys in the backline who had ~10 starts collectively in 2018 in Goodhue, ALB, Bridge and Reece.
So much for forward planning.

So your argument would be if form and talent demand selection, fuck 'em because they didn't start enough Tests the year before?

Canāt believe Ben Smith not there.
Hansen really has balls, he just backs youth and go for it.
No complaints otherwise but I still dont know what I think our best midfield is.

Interesting comment on RS Breakfast this morning about the announcers watching games with coaches.
Nathan told the story of watching test with Razor where Lima Sopoaga was conservative with a penalty to touch and Razor said "You've got to be braver than that".
Looks like you need balls.

Forward planning depends on the guys with experience not having rather dramatic losses of form - Rieko, Ben Smith.
Would you still play them because of their experience, or are you just having a bitch?

@KiwiMurph That post is not going to get likes

Quite the opposite - weight form more throughout the cycle rather then crapping on about experience the whole time only to abandon it after Perth, two games from squad announcement.
Speaking of Perth - getting injured early in the game was probably the best thing that happened to Goodhue, if he played 80 he may well have also lost his spot.

@JK So why did we wait until 3:30 pm?
We didnt... It was posted yesterday or the day before wasn't it?

I meant I don't remember you confirming you had also heard that was the team.
