So Beaudie and EdG ruled out for Perth, we will at least see some changes for the starting lineup and bench.
Good chance for Norris to get some more minutes - like what I've seen this year.
And DMac. Maybe even Love will get some minutes

There were moments last night when we looked good. I enjoyed the Clarke try and Roigard's first, not because we did anything fancy, but because they came off the back of waves of attack up the guts. When we did all the over complicated back line stuff more often than not we either stuffed it up or we got smashed behind the gain line.

Just rewatched the game. The ABs look so rigid. They just don't look comfortable, at least 2 times there's a clear overlap with the line begging but the outside man is ignored. There's no confidence to make the pass. God knows how you fix that.
I saw that too. Was it Roigard who went for the line instead of passing on one ocassion?

Well he did score on one occasion doing that...

I'm starting DMac. He's finally going to get a deserved start. But I want to see Love get some serious game time. If we get ahead enough he could have a crack at 10

Can’t fathom why they’re not taking cover for 10 with no BB.

Is Norris going to Perth? He was listed as having a back injury so it's likely Bower makes the bench.

Agree no way I can feel that love should leap over DMac at 10. Bench place absolutely

At the game that did my fucking head in. For Roigards first, we had 1 wallaby player defending half the field and 3 ABs for 3 phases and we never shifted it once.
There was one in the 2nd half and Proctor tightened his position rather than stretching the field.
We used to be the masters of eyes up footy

I guess Love is the cover

Tell me you haven't been paying attention without saying you haven't been paying attention.
- Tupaea
- J. Barrett
Why move Jordie if the problem of his form is solved by replacing his brother at 10?

Where hasn't he played (in the backline?)
Occupied positions by Jordie on start team :
Fullback : 91 times ( Fullback 50% )
Center : 79 times ( Inside Centre 39%, Outside Centre 4% )
Winger : 11 times ( Right Wing 5%, Left Wing 1% )
Fly-Half : 1 times ( Fly-Half 1% ) -
@His-Bobness said in All Blacks 2025:
This team is mediocre, relying on its stars, and should have easily put away a Wallaby outfit missing several first choice players in Valetini, Skelton, Lolesio, Wright, and Kellaway. Thank heavens for Roigard last night, though what are the odds on the keystone cops in the coaching panel coaching him out of form as well?
If only Noah was playing, we would’ve won by plenty more.

Here I was thinking he was inexperienced at 13.
