Australia v England - 2nd Test
-
The YC and at least one Pen took place in the 78th after the game was won. Can't remember the other two, think one was for holding which you can hardly blame him for.

Interesting take!
Fingers crossed he's there for the RC.

Neat jersey.
agreed, its pretty sick
its funny the "new fans" coming on and raving about this brave new approach and thanking rennie from instigating it...no idea they've had variations on this jersey for years

I could be tempted to get an old school All Blacks jersey like that, especially if they put like the old Adidas logo to really go with the theme

I thought Lolesio had a bloody good game, I don't read stats just watch game, and he seemed to do everything I want a young 10 to do. Have been inpressed with him during super too.
I actually wonder if this was the breakout performance Rennie etc wanted, not saying he absolutely killed it, but looked for first time quite comfortable at this level, and thunk he will go forward with a lot more confidence going forward. -
If playing well is getting the ball to Kerevi, then he played well…
I reckon Lolesio still stands too deep which means he doesn’t put doubt into the defenders mind of being a running threat. You want a young 1st 5 to be a threat with ball in hand and they should be taking on the line or at the very least setting up to do so.

@KiwiMurph Kellaway is a gun player. Just does the right thing more often than not.
Jordie at fullback, that’s unexpected!

Ikitau is a big loss - like Kellaway does the right thing more often than not.
Pleased to see they didn't rush Hodge in.
@KiwiMurph I would of had Perese at 13 instead of Paisami. He was one of the form backs in Super Rugby before getting injured.

Nowell? Really?
-
Bit of a backline shake up for England with a couple of 21 year olds coming into the 15 (JvP and Freeman). Porter also gets a first cap at 13. Underhill in for Curry who's on a flight home. 6:2 bench
@Margin_Walker is JvP the guy who came on last week? Big unit for a 9.

He's the Aussie Ben Smith.

I actually thought he did okay last week, despite having reservations about him originally (well the 2022 version anyway).

Arundell did more in 2 mins

Yeah, he's an interesting one. I really like him. Looked great in age grade rugby and has slotted in well in a good Leicester team when he's played. I think he's better than Randall anyway.
Amusingly though he failed to make the 23 for Leicester in the Premiership final the other week with Youngs and Wigglesworth (who's about 47 now) preferred.
Think he'll go well all the same.
