Australia v All Blacks - Bled I

[nostrildamus]

I reckon Eddie thinks he's got a fighting chance if he has at least two league converts in the starting side.

[Canes4life]

@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 …

At least we know who to blame

@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

[MajorStokes]

@canefan yeah I’ll have to take that am afraid

[canefan]

Has anyone listened to the Sky TV alternative commentary?

[sparky]

Okay, my score prediction. Aus 20, All Blacks 19.

[voodoo]

35-8

[Damo]

Nice try but I've been in the reverse curse for a couple of weeks now.

[voodoo]

Wallabies look defeated already. Chubby, pasty, glum. They don’t want to be there.

This is going to be a bloodbath

[NTA]

Decent crowd at least

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

ABs by 7

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.

[Tim]

How late are they running tonight? 10 minutes?

[TJ]

I thought Stevenson had left the squad? Have seen him lurking around in the warm ups.
