Because we had a certain 3 points if Koro didn’t score :oops:

They have, but the sliding doors rule means they would have only scored the first one. Who cares, we are going to the break with a lead. Edit: whoops

White having a Barry

I was just about to jump on say the same. Have these commentators been watching rugby the last 10 years? Head on head is a mandatory stint on the sideline for the defender

I had a racehorse once described as such, the reason being he would put in a couple of bad performances and then deliver when it mattered most. I’m not sure the reasoning is the same here but will be delighted in a few hours if it turns out to be.

I didn’t want to say anything before the game but my hunch was that beating all blacks and a return bout at eden park wasn’t going to end well for the Argies

I kinda like what Joe is doing here - he is building a core but keeping us guessing and/or creating depth in a few key positions. On the current hookers there probably isn't a standout so build with those who are available and bring Porecki and BPA back into the fold when they are fit. #10...

Is Faessler injured?

I think from memory Walton came into the squad when Ikitau got injured, but it was just to hold tackle bags as they were in Sydney and Foketi was on annual leave.

so 4 x #7's? 3 was bad enough

Sorry J View +7 Scots +7 Kings +7

If last week's Doran articles are anything to go by any reference to Nic White will be totally removed by tomorrow morning.

The article says he copped a knock and was unavailable for selection.

This is pretty old news isn't it? I remember hearing Drew talk about it on a podcast, the GBR-Au one I think - I remember I was out spraying crops and where I was, so it would have been last spring. My guess is that Cheika/RA hired some crowd to run a session and they had an SAS (or similar)...

I remember his footy card - a Magpie from memory?

Is that the bloke formerly known as John Ribot?

I know you are hypothesising, but you can't definitively say that Sio and Samu are currently better than local options, well at least not so much that you would use a foreign joker on them. Leota is still injured so that call re Swinton is academic, but Swinton may be an option on the EOYT...

absolutely, was he a lock or a loosie do you know? I'm guessing he's locking down with Kasprowicz. Edit : based on the Giddey pick up he can be 8 for now.

Yeah I was hoping to find a few more from other sports. Cronk is a grey area one as he was playing both codes and played Aus Schools in both, although I think a year apart. Moeroa is eliminated on the basis he tried to come back to rugby and was a massive fail. Good pick up re Giddey, I know...

My understanding is that Carter and Tom Roberston are just holding tackle bags as they are in Perth anyway and are not in consideration for selection. Swain is playing club rugby (in the ACT?) I think. The locks are likely to be 4. Blyth 5.LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 19. Hooper (or another combination of those 3 ).
