I’ve seen the team, I’ve looked at the tactics, I’ve studied the form. Everything is pointing in one direction- a healthy Wallabies win on Saturday night. Here are the 5 reasons why it’s going to happen.
5. Our Team
It’s a ripper. Robbie has kicked a few big goals here, and has picked a very well balanced 15. It’s a sumptuous mix of form and experience, grunt men and movie stars, big boppers and speed machines, piano removalists and piano players. It equips us to play both a wide running game and a narrow bash-and-barge. To paraphrase my old mate Winny, this team allows us to fight them on the beaches, in the streets, or in the alley behind the Caxton.
The debutants will be primed and ready to go. The wise heads have seen it all before, and will step up for the occasion. The scrum looks solid, and with Benny Mowen calling the lineouts we will be more than happy to kick for the corner. Berrick will be a calming influence at the back, and will choose the perfect time to release Izzy and Diggers. JOC and Genia provide skill, pace and a bit more skill. And let’s not forget the centre pairing of Lilo and AAC, the two form Super Rugby centres.
Forget your petty provincial gripes. Forget Quade, or whoever it is you are hung up about. These are our 15 men for Saturday, and they are going to do the fucking job. So get around them.
