Against the Wallabies, obviously... Unless Wales and France get a shot at the Bledisloe or TRC now? :)</p></blockquote>

I wouldn't say it is obvious when you are talking about a losing record at a ground. Although if you want to eliminate those two RWC games chuck out the semi final too as it wasn't for the Bledisloe or TRC/3N either. Anyway you slice it they have losing records at other grounds and not matter what filter you put on it Ellis Park is a venue where they actually have a losing record. -

I'll be surprised if I'm awake at 10pm. It'll be the second day of a two-day bender in Auckland, including going to the Ellerslie races on Saturday.</p></blockquote>

<p>You'd think its the Rugby World Cup year the way our centres our dropping like flies.. But I guess its fine as long as Izzy Dagg or Ben Smith don't move to centre..</p>

<p>D-Mac, step on up!</p> -
With the retirements of Nonu and smith , we have lost Sbw , ngatai and now Moala <br><br>
One more injury and it's starting to look grim -

<p>I can make that statement by saying the word "seems" as a qualifier and having memories of Barrett causing all sorts of mayhem against SA teams, whilst not a huge amount against Aus. I never said Barrett is good or bad against them.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok. I think once Barrett starts more against Aus I think we will see more of that mayhem he causes against SA.</p> -

<p>is it sad that i was hoping for fekitoa to get injured instead of moala.. </p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>hopefully in the time off between the Super season and now, they've been working with Fekitoa, a lot!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He has the physical attributes, just needs to get his head right.</p> -

<p>Smith to 13, Barrett to 15, Naholo at 14 and Dagg to 11. Would rather have capable hands in Dagg and Smith somewhat out of position that roll back the Crotty/Fekitoa experiment.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Dagg is really a FB and I don't see him as anywhere near an international wing cover. Cory Jane could cover FB and wing much better no? Lets develop a 13 and leave Smith at 15 or 11. </p> -
<p>I think rather than throw too many experimental players out there , they will settle on Crotty Fekitoa to start in midfield , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>While it may not be every ones cup of tea , there is a heap of experience there </p>
