    Not my video, but something everybody has said for a long time; dispersal of talent.

    @antipodean definitely agree with the idea of picking combo's, it just has to cut down on learning curves when they have limited time in AB camp

          Is this the year of the Wallabies?

          When I start to piece together a top Australian 23 from the players involved with Super Rugby only (excluding the likes of Samu Kerevi playing in Japan), one thing is pretty clear - the Wallabies look to have a great balance of experience and X factor to give the All Black’s a real crack at the Bledisloe in 2022.

          I’ve tried having a go at a match day 23 but I’m sure there is plenty of room for debate. I’ve gone for the injection of youth with Bell, Lonergan and Wilson in the pack and I have kept the cart horse that is Hodge well away from the backs.

          Is this 23 better than the All Blacks top side? That remains to be seen, however there is some exciting talent in Australia atm. I’ve probably missed a couple of players aswell.

              That’s my concern aswell, I feel Australia are a lot more settled than we are in terms of combinations.

                Someone's random 23, I won't comment on props as I have no idea but no Tupou is great in open field. Bolding those that are better for ABs IMO

                Moody?,Hogman?, Norris?

                S Taukei'aho Taylor is also better

                O Tu'ungafasi

                B Retallick

                S Whitelock despite both being not their peak still better than Oz

                T Vaii (personally think he is the future at six) Nah Ioane

                S Cane (c)

                A Savea

                A Smith

                B Barrett

                C Clarke

                J Barrett Lotsa experience, top offloader which great in midfield, and does the kicks

                R Ioane Is awesome

                S Reece Work rate

                W Jordan Not even close

                Bench is less important and changes a lot but ours still looks better

                C Taylor

                No idea. Can we steal Antonio from the French? He is Kiwi so...

                Is it to soon for the mighty Williams?

                S Barrett

                D Papalii

                F Fakatava

                R Mo'unga

                L Fainga'anuku or RTS

                  @Canes4life Happy if Rennie chooses Lonergan at hooker as he looked like a lightweight against the French.

                    @Canes4life Kerevi and Koroibete walk straight in and should be available. Probably Quade too.

                    Are we going to win the Bledisloe? Fuck no. To do so means winning at Eden Park which may very well never happen again.

                          That adds a heap to the Wallas

                              Good result for Aussie rugby and the Brumbies - there was talk that Lolesio, White and Frost might all go overseas but all 3 have re-signed for the Brumbies.

                                @KiwiMurph the presence of Larkham might be a carrot, but having these signings continue will give other players some food for thought.
