Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October
-
Who gets subbed in the backs will be interesting.
Does Mo'unga get replaced at some stage to allow BB to move to 1st 5 and JB to fullback?
Roane is more likely to play on the wing than at centre with Laumape also on the bench. I don't think both midfielders will be subbed.

Fuck i wish they’d play the ‘not so long ago best wing in the world’ Rieko on the wing ahead of ‘not a winger’ Jordie

Don't we all? Still not convinced about Frizell. Hopefully Paps comes on and has a blinder.

That is my guess, starting centre in game 1 appears to be down pecking order unless he is there as a wing primarily.

Yep, a strategic bench. Replace JG with Laumape, move BB to 10 and put Roane on JBs wing while JB moves to 15.
Brings BBs experience in closer to finish the game while adding firepower.
Also Oz are scratching a little in the centres so Laumape could cause a little havoc. -
I know Rennie is the golden boy atm but can you imagine if Foster started chopping and changing the team the way he did, we would all be on his back . Not the best way to build combinations.
-
@akan004 i think the counter if he had would be that foster has been part of the system for a long time and so he should have a good feel for what he wants to do where as Rennie is still sorting the deck

Yep, Rennie is still working out who his players are, what his combinations are. Foster has seen that first hand for years.

Doesn't help that he's had to by injury.

Hope that Paps comes on and has a stormer. Would be nice to have another option to Frizzell.
Paps has the size and 'hardness' along with some impressive speed and running lines developing.
I think he may be another that was identified a little too early and is only just maturing. -

Are they any good ?
