A bit of analysis over at Rugbypass... https://www.rugbypass.com/news/wallabies-currently-too-slow-to-make-opposition-pay/ TLDR version: - Koroibete no good - Wingers too slow, which is having an affect on our defensive patterns and attack - We need Corey Toole

I could be sleep deprived but I’m sure Doran originally reported Koroibete being dropped, but he’s actually injured: https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/09/25/exclusive-wallabies-only-foreign-based-star-set-to-be-dropped-for-bledisloe-rematch/ Yes, it’s still there in the url.

It would seem that their respective form in recent weeks… months… suggests otherwise.

Not always… It’s fluctuated between one and four games throughout the years.

Except for shipping those 21 points early in the game… Because Ray Charles exudes great confidence?

It is surprising Gordon and Donaldson have been completely dumped... The pair were certainly poor with exits in the last game, but McDermott has been substantially worse in that area than the other halves and Lynagh still doesn't appear ready for test rugby.

According to Pandaram - McDermott and Lynagh will be the bench halves, and Jorgo drops out completely after falling ill this week...

Doran has the same mail with LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) returning via the bench… https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/09/18/prickly-white-set-for-surprise-recall-for-wallabies-showdown-against-all-blacks-schmidt-to-put-size-on-bench/

It’s genius… By the time Flapanara comes on the ref is going to be at breaking point.

According to Payto... https://www.theage.com.au/sport/rugby-union/wallabies-stars-return-for-bledisloe-as-parling-rejects-extreme-lions-hot-takes-20240918-p5kbgf.html Surprised about Paisami as other articles today had him not playing this week...' It doesn't sound like Whitaker made the...

We must be due for a new captain...

There was another equally embarrassing "arse handing" the following week...

Kimlin had been out of the test frame for a few years with a run of injuries over that time, and I don't think he played two consecutive seasons until the Jake White years and then by that stage was already looking overseas... But as always seems to be the case was in the best form of his...

There’s been a few promising tall backrowers whose test careers never took off through injury… Hugh McMeniman, Daniel Heenan, Peter Kimlin.

Oh no, I remember all the Daily Telegraph articles, and the Bob Dwyer (who may have been in nappies at this time) editorials telling us how much better he supposedly was… This arse handing moment isn’t so memorable though? But maybe you two can start a separate thread about how great the Chris...

No, no, no, no, no... You haven't played this game before? The All Blacks at a low, the Wallabies with a home test and just a slither of hope being talked up in the media... We're getting trounced, followed by dozens of pages discussing which players should never play for the Wallabies again...

I don’t expect White to be near the team unless there’s an injury… And Wright will slot back into fullback.
