Hopefully, we'll see a bit of Richie Mo'unga magic against those new inside backs.
Any in the black jersey would be a nice change

21-year-old Caleb Clarke gave the Wallabies nightmares in a barnstorming All Blacks debut in Bledisloe II. Now the Wallabies are out for revenge for that 17-7 hammering, and they’ve put a target firmly on the winger’s back. Daugunu told journalists on Wednesday: We’re looking forward to playing against him again on Saturday. “Our aim is to kick to him and contest (the ball) – for him to catch it so we can smash him. Our target for this week was him. I can’t wait to hit him.” Asked if the Kiwi gun had a target on his head, Daugunu simply said “yes.” -
If i am on debut, and the middle of a new combination, i would much prefer to mark someone who i know is going to run straight at me, not matter how hard, than someone who is going to make me make decisions all the time.
-
FFS - I wish they’d give the Ioane’s a go.
Instead we have a wing who makes Caleb Ralph look fast and a loosie who looks like a superstar at SR and invitational XV level but is yet ti translate that to the big show.
Not much else to quibble with other than although surprised by the Laumape selection.

@KiwiMurph I thought trying to put a big hit on was often why they missed him... some regulation tackles round the legs would probably work a lot better.

99th Test for Slipper. Nice big man. Hope you get over the line again before 100... no, NOT THAT LINE...
Lotta green there, but really what have we got to lose at this point? Rennie is picking guys in position, and the 9-10-12 axis is Brumbies, while 13-14 are Reds, so there are a couple of combinations there to work with.

I like the opportunity for McReight off the bench as well. Really rate him but he's in a David Croft style logjam for 7 with Hooper and Liam Wright. Hope he goes well as he killed it at U20 and showed real promise for the Reds.
Interesting move to drop Gordon for McDermott but I think the young man has potential

Is that 9 Blues and 5 Crusaders? Honestly never thought I'd see the day. Better win!
Isn't there some bullshit saying about when Auckland rugby is strong?

I don't even know who the fuck that journo is - assume as FoxSports sinks into obscurity they're just hiring random dickheads with the right school tie, and they don't know who the Wallabies are because their school is transitioning to AFL.

@NTA hes already better than Wright and Hooper is off next year. I think he'll be starting next year.
As an aside - the is probably the youngest and least capped Wallaby side in history?
