Wallabies vs All Blacks 3 (Perth)

I'm assuming the teams are names 11am Perth time? Is that in 15 mins or 1 hour and 15 mins?

who was it that implemented the less than successful "flat backline"? Was that Wayne SMith?

@taniwharugby The Ella brothers.
@old-samurai-jack I dont recall them playing for us
Either way, that was probably the only real blip for Smith as an AB coach.

Samu Kerevi will start for the Wallabies on Sunday, two years after his last appearance and a move to Japan he feared would end his Test career.
The explosive tackle-buster will be named at inside centre against New Zealand in Perth, replacing Hunter Paisami who returned home for the birth of his child.
He’s back in the Wallabies fold now thanks to a relaxation of the Giteau Law, the veteran of 33 Tests one of two overseas-based players allowed despite not meeting the 60-cap qualification.

Dave Rennie shuffling deckchairs. Obviously not a fan of established partnerships.

i really rated Kerevi when he left, i hope for Australia's sake he comes back the same player.

@landp LOL you need to work on your ranting, far tooo tame for here!
But I think a lot of people agree after the miracle year of '16 he stayed on too long. Original plan was to be there for the Lions, then go. Would've been ideal, Foster would've got his two years to RWC, failed just as badly as Hansen I'm sure. Then we would've a got a new broom. Instead we've got 4 more years, and I am sure we'll be samshed up front in an improtant game in the RWC, and still have no plan (that works) to defeat an uncompromising defence oriented team when they get in our face and our skillz(TM) aren't working.
Hope I'm wrong and we never lose another game ever and Fozzie is the second coming. But really think we're on a downward spiral of losing to Argentina type mediocrity
@machpants I love watching AB rugby and the Skillz (TM) on display, no team does it better
But what I really love is when an AB pack comes out totally fired up against a full French or English pack who are ALSO totally fired up and gradually not just get "parity" but beat them head on physically. Often that takes 65+ minutes and it's 9-6 or 6-9 but the other side is dead on their feet by then
THEN you can show the skills and maybe let BB shovel a pass to 12 to run a crash ball and set up next forward phase :winking_face:
I'm half joking tbh, but the great teams know when that upfront edge is pretty mainly what is needed on a certain day ... it seems to go missing sometimes in the ABs the last few years.
If not NZ, I really hope France win the next world cup btw

have i missed the team announcement? thought it would have been done by now

Yeah that is what I was thinking but then I thought why would you ever bother? Surely it isn't that

@hooroo have been a few words over the years on here that people jokingly put that next too...

Skills are what bogan hairdressers have so they can open their shops called "Shaz's Cuts", "Hot Snipz", "Kurlz", "Charmainez" etc

The more obscure the better, IMO.
