Akira and Dalton better step the fuck up, because after last game I'd pick Samu and Valentini over them

Geez Dave is becoming a real Aussie whinged isn’t he?
Becoming like Warren Gatland.
Maybe it’s a Chiefs thing…

It seems to be necessary at that level - talking the game down to grow it.

@KiwiMurph but he thought Swains clean out was ok?

Apparently Ioane thought the boomerang advance was disrespectful to the haka. If this is true, he's a fucking tool. They don't have to stand there like dummies, and it's great that they responded, and will do so again this weekend

I think he's shown before that he's a tool. Usually manages to keep it under wraps but yeah, shut up mate.

Based purely on my own research, I believe Jordie Barrett will become the first All Black to start a test match at 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15.
Give the man a start a centre!

I know it's not true, but I'd really like to think this is Taylor and Laulala on last chance saloon to show they're up to test rugby.
Reality will most likely show Taylor getting beaten around the park and losing a lineout or three, with Laulala getting beaten around the park and being penalised at a scrum or three.
DP to step up getting actual minutes in a familiar position he's been prepped for.
Jordan to have one blazing run but remain a spectator for the rest of the game.
Jordie to cause some issues for the wallaby defence and Clarke to cause even more issues.
I thought Newell was coming along nicely and doing as well as could be expected, joke that he gets dropped now.
If Taukieaho is a workload thing,, then why isn't the next best hooker starting?
Unfortunately, none of the selections are unexpected, a lot of stupid and before this year I would've thought very bizarre, but just commonplace now.

@KiwiMurph classic case of trying to manufacture something no matter how unbelievable or absurd to try and get an edge or fire up his players.

i get the feeling something has been lost in translation here. Rieko has been playing since 2016 - he's seen a fair few "responses" in his time. And Folau Fainga'a is a massive twat too, so who knows what the truth is?

I think the Ioanes are very talented but there’s also plenty of evidence that they’re both massive dickwads as well.
The Haka is very indulgent, teams can do whatever the fuck they want in response if you ask me.

"Soni has had an outstanding series. Codie has been working hard behind the scenes. We really believe he's in a good space now. It's a chance to inject Soni in the second part of a game to have a slightly different role so we're excited about that one-two punch for this particular game."so was there personal issues or injuries affecting Taylor? Hasn't looked the same player for the ABs this season...
