@Chris mate did you see LF defense stats etc in club rugby in France.. He was worst centre over the season in top 14, by quite a bit. The couple of games I saw him play, he made a few breaks and looked great on attack but abysmal on defense, in that he seemed to not even attempt tackles at time. Reckon JAS would have fun running in his channel
Suaali’i is very poor defensively and could have kittens trying to defend LF.
Procter adds nothing on attack or defence. -

Procter adds nothing on attack or defence.Yep, but LF is poor on defense and so would be doing same surely. Games I saw him play weren't so much he couldn't tackle, but more he seemed not to attempt them at times. he may of been confused with defsive set up team used or something, and hope they working on it'

Same old shit selections win this one then get smoked in Perth.
Pattern remains the same so no chance of progression.I probably missed any suggestion you made prior to (all the conjecture just became white noise). But what would be your changes?
I would be more radical
D Mac to first five,Love to the bench BB gone,
LF to centre someone who can bend the line.
Especiallyas Suaali’i is not a great defender.
Williams would start Norris on the bench another ball runner.
And play more direct with those changes.I'm with you at 10.
Not on the LF wagon (but not delighted with our options)
And Norris is injured. -

Let’s see how Procter handles Suaali’i it maybe carnage.
Maybe it was miss communication between LF and French speaking players around him with Toulon. -

And Norris is injured.Is he ? Bower was released last week and he was cover for Norris,Since Bower has not come back to the squad I though Norris was now fit,

@brodean Are those stats only for games when those guys played in the midfield - or are they season stats for guys who sometimes played in other positions?
Lams form has also fallen off a cliff in NPC he has been poor.

@bayimports said in All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe I:
great additions, BB still remains though, so I remain nervous
I predict he will pull off all the bullshit moves and win the game handily, so you all forget how bang ordinary he is.
Razor will be a genius

Maybe it was miss communication between LF and French speaking players around him with Toulon.I hoped so , and I not saying Procyor great, all I saying LF was poor in France, I hope it was miscommunication, but at times he didn't even attempt tackles which what worried me , an awful lot.

Mortlock. Hell of a player. Especially against NZ.

I really want to see some angry ABs out there this week.
Within reason. I don't want to see more cards.

Those wanting to see more of LSL have got their wish.
James Slipper to reach historic mark as returning stars, debutant named for opening Bledisloe
Wallabies prop James Slipper will create history as the first Australian to reach 150 caps in Saturday's Bledisloe Cup opener in Auckland.

Lukhan Salakaia-Loto has been given the job of Eden Park enforcer after being named to make his first start for the Wallabies this year against the All Blacks on Saturday.
The call-up for the big Queensland lock came as Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt also turned to a new starting partnership in the halves for the opening Bledisloe Cup clash, with Tate McDermott and James O’Connor trusted to run the show for Australia at the intimidating Auckland venue.
From the Sydney Morning Herald just now

BB will probably look ok against a passive Wallaby defence, as will a few others. This test will paper over the cracks and will tell us very little.
Roigard back is a huge boost for this side. I reckon he should just skip Beauden altogether when we attack.
the Hurricanes site says he is a 9/10 but he has not played 10 at a high level has he?
