All Blacks v Australia - Bledisloe II
-
Appreciate the Wallabies are up against it, but the ABs aren’t good enough to make that many changes and get away with it. This is the biggest game until the QF. Need to sew Eddie’s mouth shut and hang 50 on them.
@game_film This is a dead rubber and NZ could name 3 separate teams that would all beat the Wallabies. Wallabies are paying $21. I would be benching my entire starting 15.

i thought this was just another "woe the wallabies" derpus post, but he's fucking right
on Sportsbet they are paying $17 and we are paying $1.01
That's fucking ridiculous -

There were some encouraging signs I thought last week.
But this isn't about Oz, IMO it doesn't help us for the World Cup. After the past few year's results, I'd rather storm into the tournament with a settled side and confidence and form.

@Kirwan ABs will play their top side vs Boks at Twickenham - that's the tune up game.
This game is to figure out who makes the squad on Monday.

i struggle to believe that this game in any way has any bearing whatsoever on who gets selected Monday.

Taking this super seriously, lol. Wallabies screwed if they win or lose now, win it's the B (C?) team, lose and it's a fucking disaster.

@Tordah Liam Napier is pretty damn reliable I'd suggest Stevenson is playing.
I hope you're - and he's - right. Don't think so, though. I doubt they are going to go with wholesale changes. All I'm reading is "likely", "expected", "could", and "possible".

As I said. Liam Napier is reliable.

Aus in to $7.50 here now..... quality AB's side

3 debutants! it's like the old days when the first test of the season would be someone shit like Samoa or Scotland
weird team aye. Pack isn't bad despite Finau getting the first of his 100 caps and a newbie prop. Backline is definitely something. ALB the veteran, and at least he and DMac know each other.
If we can get good ball out of the pack, and one of Ennor or ALB plays dead straight off DMac they should be alright. But i've been fooled by an all out attack backline before that has no chemistry and just fumbles their way through the game

Also if this team is picked and asked to play the same as last week it probably won't go as well.
