At least Razor will get to drink out of the Bledisloe
Something he never did as a player - being capped during the dark years of 98-02.

Oh wow!
That makes me feel a lot better! -

The ABs need to go fresh and young and commit to it now
I agree with this.
5-6 senior players have been part of the leadership problem for 5 or so years. But still get picked every week.
Ratima, Sititi, Williams have shown that if you give the talent the chance it will take it.

See also Will Jordan on this.
Feel like he is overrated.
Riding the back of the space created by better AB teams.
Love would be a better option at 15.
Jordan is a 14 or nothing.@Frank said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

Jordan is a 14 or nothing.While your point on his position may have merit I think you are harsh on Jordan there. He has scored tries from nothing that basically no other Allblack has been doing since “PlayStation Beaudy”.
Jordan’s tries against Ireland in the cake tin, the chip and chase against Wales and USA, the semi final try against Argentina display a skill nobody else in the squad has shown us. The only other time an Allblack has created a “hold my beer” moment in recent memory was Roigard against the Boks in Twickenham.

Frank Bunce had 55 caps.
ALB has 72.
There are far too many Allblacks who’s candle is being allowed to burn out while in the jersey rather than being cast aside early leaving us to ponder what if.
The former is much worse than the latter.
If the World Cup was tomorrow, this coaching ticket (and the last) would leave a Milner Skudder at home and bring a Beauden Barrett instead.

None of them hierarchy have the balls to move players on anymore.

Savea needs to be cut completely. I wouldn't even have him in the 23 anymore.
Savea and Beaudy are two of our biggest onfield problems to solve and have been for years.
World beaters on YouTube, panel beaters in the flesh.
We have been building our cake around their "icing and sprinkles" instead of the other way round.

Aumua might be the biggest disappointment in supposed talent of the last five years.
His clean work was fucking atrocious, and his running game seems to have disappeared . And then there is the set piece - or more correctly lack of set piece.
They need to give Bell a chance at hooker.

If there was any selection pressure, yes.
But that’s not how it seems to be at all.

I'd respect the coaches more if they picked the kids

That’s pretty solid proofreading from someone as pissed as you.

"on the phone one handed" gets on my 'new euphemisms' list.

This might sound silly, but are we fit enough? Are we overplaying our hand physically in the first 60 mins.

I think our props are having trouble with fitness. Not sure about the locks, VP stayed pretty active. I think Cane is having trouble keeping up though.

First three Aussie tries came from defensive howlers by Ardie Savea and the fourth by one by DMac.

I can see why Sititi is seen as having leadership potential. Dude rips in and actually leads by example.

He Ratima TJP and maybe Vaa'i looked the leaders on the field to me.

Cane made good tackles and missed important ones. That is his main feature so if he can't do that consistently I'd look around for a successor.

Aumua has gone down hill and seems a liability and handbrake from the bench where I would have thought he'd make an ideal impact player.

Another reason to give Bell a chance is Samisoni is back soon
I hope he's improved his throwing if he does get a go. His throwing was hideous during super rugby.

You would hope specialist throwing coach Corey Flynn would be helping there....
From memory vs Fiji Bell's throwing looked much better.

Ha ha ha, you’re fucking kidding me right, the definition of can’t do, so teach, is the AB throwing coach?
Jobs for the bros.
