Australia v All Blacks - Bled I
-
I actually think Eddie will get more out of this than Foster and co: the ABs still don't know how they compare to France and Ireland (and possibly the new England) but Australia will be very interested to see where the weaknesses and potential is on such a new scratch old scratch hybrid team- for example, I haven't seen Will Skelton for ages, is he still the new fit and trim version?
-
I reckon Eddie thinks he's got a fighting chance if he has at least two league converts in the starting side.
-
Just want to go on record about how uncomfortable I am that I have no discomfort about this game.
Can't see a path to how we could lose this.
Which worries me deeply.
Fucking sneaky Aussies. Fucking sneaky Eddie Jones.
@booboo I reckon Carter Gordon could be a bit of a cult hero for this Aussie side moving forward. He’s obviously young but he looks quality and he has a bit of Larkham about him. The unknown factor could be Aussies strength tonight but it could also bite them in the arse. I feel Eddie’s flipping the coin and I don’t even think he knows how things will go.

I'm hoping the GOAT has been at the captain's run again

I’m on a plane on holiday during this one. Have a bit of a habit of the ABs losing whilst flying …

@booboo Interesting interview just now by Drew Mitchell with Eddie Jones, who seemed less lippy than normal and said something about how this game was a chance to spin the wheel and check out some younger players ahead of the World Cup.

Said something quite different in an interview with Goldie just now. He wants to put us under pressure for the first time this season, surmises that the ABs fast start this season is down to the players trying to back up Fozz with the backdrop of the Foster Robinson situation. Having fun trolling a little bit

At least we know who to blame

Wallabies look defeated already. Chubby, pasty, glum. They don’t want to be there.
This is going to be a bloodbath

If that happens, I wonder how much it will damage their belief in the new way Eddie wants to play.

The fast starts in the last 2 testaare unusual for the ABs. Of late we have been slow off the blocks.
If we start well again tonight that would be a good sign.
