The really surprising line to read was “maybe with Aaron Smith”.
We’re not dealing with rocket surgeons here...Rocket surgeons - not sure if that was deliberate but I like it.
A sort of mixed metaphor - I guess rocket scientists and brain surgeons?
And yeah, Aaron Smith better be there!

Anyone want a bet this is starting XV?
Moody, Taylor, Tuungafasi, Tuipulotu, Whitelock, Frizell, Cane (cpt), Savea, Smith, Mounga, Bridge, Goodhue, Ioane, J.Barrett, B.Barrett.
Let’s just say not my pick, but wouldn’t bet against it

Very safe Team, happy for Clarke, Sotutu and Vaa'i . The only thing out of the ordinary is Reiko at Centre and ALB on the bench.

Jordie on the wing and not at 15?
@Donsteppa said in Bledisloe One: Wellington, October 11:
It still feels like we have the wrong Chiefs coach in charge of each team...
-
I am not whelmed at all by the backline, particularly the wings.
I said Reece/Bridge was the least whelming of the possible wing combinations ... I was wrong.
12 is our best 13
13 is our best 11
14 is our best 15I'll accept the loosies ... But not my preferred.
-
get fucked
our 3rd best 8. picking two 7s.
the best fullback shunted to the wing in order to select the 2nd best fullback
neither of the two wingers are really the best in the countryand it's one of the last physically imposing back 3s i have ever seen
this is a shit team selected by fuckheads.
-
This is the sort of team I expected Foster to pick. Playing it safe and not rewarding form at all, apart from maybe Ioane at centre. Are the All Blacks really going to innovate themselves by picking the same old crop?
-
He went the conservative route that I had been expecting. I had thought it would be the same backline as the semi, but I guess given that Jordie was in that 22 and ALB will be available off the bench he is not taking too many risks. Like I said in another thread he does not have many tests to play with , he has to win early to have any hopes of getting his contract renewed.
