I like this team except I would swap Turner for Beau Robinson. I'd prefer 5/2 against the Kiwis. I wouldn't try and use TPN. If Crocket plays, I would try and use S Fainga'a's substitution accordingly. If Crocket is on the bench this will be ok. If Crocket starts then Moore might have to play...

Interesting ideas that i tend to agree with. The team that best exploits or responds to the refs interpretations has the advantage. The half time penalty count v's the springboks was 7 - 2. This kept the Boks ahead on the scoreboard. When the penalty flow dried up a bit, the scores levelled.

Where's Nutter when you need him...

I agree with RedsHappy. We were outcoached. Recent Bledisloe performances have had the Wallabies leading at oranges. Obviously coach Henry et al wanted to change this trend/habit. They successfully devised a cunning plan. I saw the all blacks play very fast rugby in the first 30 mins...

MOM Prediction Totally random but my guess for MOM is going to be Kieran Read. Best of the Wallabies; JOC (James O'Connor)

Acid test this weekend. Eden Park I think this weekend will have a big bearing on the selection of the world cup squad. Any player that goes missing against he blacks at eden park this weekend will find it hard to redeem themselves for the world cup. As we speak (type!) there is lots of...

Braveheart, it is looking at your avatar that has that effect on me. No offence to Scott Higginbotham but he's not my type. He is getting good at that chip kick though.

In the S15 final I saw Carter score a try, untouched by Cooper. The commentary was that he should have attempted a tackle. I also saw a high shot on McCaw from behind which ended up with a turnover or some loose ball somewhere. He has been hidden this year in the Reds. Lets pray you are...

Actually I'd have Giteau over Cooper for any defensive plays. And assuming Beale is 15 and stays as the last line of defence how is Cooper going to be hidden?

Isn't Tom Carter = 2011 Mortlock. I'd have Mortlock for his leadership if that was the case.

I agree. The way Deans want us to attack, we need the backline alignment to be alot flatter than v's Samoa. Genias pass allows this. Giteau looked better when Genia fed him the ball. I know Beale was 5/8 when Genia was 1/2 but Giteau did come in from the wing for some first receiver work...

I'm sure this will fade once they finish celebrating the S15 victory. None of them are afraid of hard work

I thought it was gracious. Did you hear Paul Gallen after the State of Origin? That was poor.

I don't agree. Our sport is unique as the rules are open to interpretation more than most. McCaw is so good because he realises that you need to push the boundaries in every game as every game is refereed slightly differently. This is smart. What would be dumb is assuming you know how the...
