Bledisloe Four: Brisbane, 7 November

There's the selections I like, Akira finally gets a chance, Reiko gets a run, Ngani gets shot, Weber gets us a Magpie in there, but it's balanced out by too many Barretts (I can handle two, but only one of red-card-not-a-blindside-flanker Scott and the slow [although he looked almost quick when scoring on Saturday] pimply giraffe Jordie at the one time please - @Rancid-Schnitzel clearly has naked pics of Fozzie), no Coles, no Jordan starting, no Clarke and the inclusion of Reece.

A day after announcement and I still don't know if I'm happy with this team.

You’re right we should all just take off to Port Douglas and go into a state of denial

Dunno if I mentioned it, but bloody excited about Akira getting a start.

Let’s hope Akita is too

I have been busy this week so have only been drifting in - what's happening in Port Douglas this weekend?

Any chance of breakfast with the ABs?

He can have breakfast with me and Scott Barrett. I figured the mongo-looking younger brother was my best bet for access to Beauden. Lurch Barrett will probably cost me a fortune in bacon and eggs but it will be worth it.

@Daffy-Jaffy Hooper is such a divisive figure in Australian rugby. If people are from ACT or QLD they hate him.

On what basis? Actual question. Who is better in Aus at 7?

He's quite good at his job.

Not sure he'd beat out Cane or Ardie for a spot in the ABs though.

(I hate autocorrect.)

@Daffy-Jaffy "New Zealand" not "All Blacks".

In trying to avoid Aura they enhance her.

Brown is also almost as good a look as grey.

Beat me to it. He's never going to be an all-time great, but he gives his all every time and by all accounts is a really good guy. Really good player, just a bit limited physically I think.

Me mate the coach loved coaching him, and friends with kids who have seen him around the local shops have nothing but good stuff to say, apparently always awesome with the kid interaction
