Yet another conservtive selection in I guess what is pitched as a "must win" game.
Form in SR seems totally irrelevant now.
Same issue of "favourites" being picked and others playing out of position to accommodate, especially in the loose forward trio.
At this rate we won't get any new talent in the team until someone retires or is hideously injured.
Which is exactly what people used to constantly criticise Foster for.
Probably
- but, we're fielding Sititi, Ratima, Aumua, Tosi and Darry - so 20 percent of the team is effectively newbies.@Chris-B said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

We got a forward pack to rival anyone.
There is progress being made -

Do we think Sam Cane gets his 99th on Saturday, 100th the following week and then misses EOYT?
Reckon they'll stick with him and look for new 7 the next couple of years. Dunno who though.

I am not too worried by Tosi's scrummaging as he will face Slipper who is a shadow of his former self (a former self who has never set the world on fire, TBH). I am eager to see what he can bring in the loose. They should use him as a battering ram in midfield, among the backs, to create havoc in the Aussie defense.

Thanks for posting
It's interesting to hear him talk about how well set piece is going but he doesn't touch on exits/restarts.
Our exit/restart work sucks every game in this regime
In 2024 set piece should also include kickoffs/restarts in my view
Sounds like a
dribbling bullshit artist, no wait, apoorly educated consultantused car salesman. Starts off with 'oh, learnings around...'Talks about what he wants to talk about ably assisted by the hard hitting Dorothy Dixers from Goldie.
It would be nice to hear a question that results in the coaches looking uncomfortable. Perhaps in the heat of the moment immediately afterwards on a hot mic being caught calling the reporter a fluffybunny.

Fucking. A.
Whenever somebody is using phrases like "I feel..", "... talking around ... ... what that looks like.".... fuck off.
"We've talked about winning. We've talked about winning moments, we've talked about walking towards the pressure and looking forward to it.." - yeah, mate, I'm sold. 5 year extended warranty you said? Bargain! -

Do that and NZ Rugby ensures you don't get access to the team or coaching staff so in general MSM are a collective fan club -when interviewing.

I think Ardie and Paps should play 7 on the EOYT after Cane gets the
Sititi to 8God fucking dammit if I see one more "Ardie should start at 7" post...
Based on fucking what? He's been at 8 for like 5 years. No part of his game looks like a restrained 7.
This feels like "Ardie is playing shit but it's not his fault" opinion because he's one of the black shirted untouchables
But Ardie played 7 last season in Japan.......
....like Scott Robertson set up an U19 team at Sumner Rugby Club@Victor-Meldrew said in All Blacks vs Wallabies I:

@voodoo oooh interesting.
I do think this Wallabies team are chance to win but they could just as easily get hammered.
Its unlikely the Wallabies will have to face a second half resurgence from the ABs like they did in that 2nd Pumas test.

That is still a pretty good Wallaby team, backline especially could fire. Bench might lack a bit but don’t expect this to be a walkover- ABs by 12.

Was last week too.
Could be the case that Jacobson is seen as the next best 7 behind Cane now.
