Based on not much, but I was expecting a bigger roll of the dice than that.
Either Foster, Ryan et al think the team is within a gnat's penis of it all coming together or they haven't got a clue. Answers on a postcard...

Why are you bringing Ryan into this? He's not a selector, is he? He just coaches who he's told to coach

Really? I thought the match day 23 was selected by the coaching team together.

At least once we lose Foster has to go right?

It was Foster, Plumtree and Fox, no? Or was that just selecting the squads for tournaments/series?
Can anyone confirm who the match day squad selectors are?

Let's face it Frizzell has always been their guy. Whenever he's not injured or suspended for terrorising young women he's alway straight back in.

I hope Frizell proves me wrong but what a useless pick. Could’ve moved Barrett there to give him some flexibility on the bench to include Papali’i.
Like I said hope he proves me wrong and throws the Bok forwards around.

Looks like a midweek team on tour , well the pack does anyway

Not many alternatives when it comes to experience given Moody, Nepo, Karl T and Ofa aren’t available for for the front row. Retallick is out injured. Not much difference in experience between Ioane and Frizell.
-
Props that struggle at scrum time. Locks that have been playing undisciplined (neck roll for Whitelock). Frizzel has never played well at Test level against the good sides. Cane hopelessly out of form and his injuries have caught up with him.
Ardie playing in a position that’s keeping a potential star at Test level out instead of at seven where his size is much more suited.
Smith is in a slump.
Ritchie is the backs version of Frizzel, and a poor defender. Havilli is also playing terribly, just like last year.
RI is trying too much (when the ball makes it that far). Jordan is off the back of a poor Test by his standards and has the flu, and JB is not adding anything but good goalkicking.
Fuck me days.

@chimoaus was reading we have won 36 out of 37 Tests when Beaudys on the bench
but this is the 2022 all blacks so i must expect another loss on the cards

And I’m pretty certain it was a famous victory for the Wallabies too.

But a lot of differences in ability.

RM is a good defender, no?
Smith is in a slump because of the game plan. If we could get Will Genia out of retirement that would be grand. Smith needs to snipe. Either pass left or pass right, direct into De Allende and Am.

They're stuck with Rieko as no one obvious who isn't crocked.
Malherbe with Etzabeth behind him is one big challenge. Want the best scrummaging LH on board. Do they think De Groot is it? Playing well against Koch, who is B grade, with Mostert having replaced De Jager at lock, isn't remotely the same.
