<p>Next year I think.</p>

[Billy Tell]

Having NZ's fastest 100m runner at 10 is a real bonus.

[Toddy]

<p>So Hansen using BB as an impact player was out of respect for the opposition, rather than an AB tactic. </p>

[chimoaus]

So who is the next winger? Looks like Dagg will be at the back all year.

So what can Cheika do to make it more competitive? .</p></blockquote>

Hand in his notice?

[nostrildamus]

<p>Will they shift AAC in? Cant recall who they have on bench, is Hooper fast enough for wing, bring Pocock in to 7 and bring on a forward?</p>

Lol, BB has to be the best player in the world at the moment. Just incredible. We can only hope his brother turns out this good.

<p>And ask Eddie Jones back? Not many good coaches left in Australia, maybe Alan Jones thinks he can still do the job :)</p>

<p>This sounds like a good way to get Julian Savea his mojo back.</p>

[chimoaus]

Lack of recent game time for the Wallaby players is showing I reckon. They are just not handling the line speed and not winning own linout is costing them big time.

<br>
Recall some talk abour "no offside" from a charge down. But can't be definitive.

[rotated]

I won't ask at what point will the media and fans turn on Cheika, because it's too early yet. But at least when will they start to admit perhaps he isn't the dawn of a new era an no better (and likely worse) than McKensie and Deans.

[nostrildamus]

<p>Actually I think BB IS playing as an impact player, only for 80 minutes..</p>

[Tim]

<p>Well this is better than watching Auckland. :)</p>

[canefan]

BB set Naholo up after slicing through the line too

<p>Too late - Read has been playing like this for two or three seasons now. More - I first saw him running with this confidence and purpose against France in New Zealand in 2009.</p>
