Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

@bayimports said in Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October:
Anyone expecting big changes tomorrow should probably have a think about who the selection panel is.
I would suggest there will be no changes to the backs and but there could be a couple of changes in the forwards probably only daddy duties and concussion the only real changes, namely 8, probably 5 and 1. Bench could be interesting though
I will probably know soon enough if official timing is tomorrow
If the sauce is indeed the correct ingredient, then the guess above turns out to be very accurate, sorry wont post until later as too many journos have enough time to create stories this early. Fill in the blanks for starting XV, that was quite easy. If anyone correctly predicts the bench though they get a virtual beer, I didn't, most will get close, but in its entirety may not be so easy. Should at least create some fun for the afternoon.

Are they trying to fit even more 10's & 15's into the team?
I'll have stab and go with both Dmac and Jordan both on the bench (which makes no sense by the way).

Kirifi leapfrogs Papali'i and goes straight onto the bench?
He's been doing a lot of media this week

So if your guess is very accurate, Joe isn't playing, which means a start for Alex.
Bench: BK, Taylor, Lomax, Barrett, Kirifi, TJ, Ioane, Jordan.

Tickets going for $30, thunderstorms forecast, Halloween and the worst stadium in the entire bloody world.
Might be a home crowd for the darkness.

Perhaps a 6/2 forward/back bench split with the wet weather predicted?
I wouldn’t mind seeing that which means Akira and Kirifi could get a look in.
Is R. Ioane fit?

I'll take a stab at the reserves
Lomax,Taylor,Hodgman,SBarrett, AI, TJ, RI, Jordan
or if they go a 6/2 bench

Lomax,Taylor,Hodgman, Vaa’i, SBarrett, AI, TJ, JordanNo openside cover if the unthinkable happens and Cane breaks down in the first minute? Kirifi looks a good option there.
No need for two locks on the bench in my view of you’ve got Frizell in the lineup who if there are multiple injuries could cover there. Loose forward cover is what’s needed IMO.

I heard S Barrett can cover 6, 7 and 8...

Bench CT, AH, TL, SB, DP, TJP, NL, RISo Joe rested. Karl starts given the 'seasoned' member. Him vs Tupou will be worth a watch. Joride 14, notwithstanding Fern concerns.
Based on starting 15 bench entirely predictable.
Would like to see Laumape get a run inside Goodhue.

Bench CT, AH, TL, SB, DP, TJP, NL, RI@bayimports That must be one of our better benches in some time, as a unit that adds a lot of penetration, mobility, and speed.
This also makes me question WTF the selectors were thinking in bled 1, have to give them credit for evolving I guess.
