I think we need to swap our 9s pairings. White with Gordon (so White can kick) Tate with Donaldson If Kerevi is fit for Georgia he has to start at 12. We missed the crash ball against France.

Look. The trend is progression but I feel we played better against the All Blacks. I still cant excuse that we sacked Rennie, we're 0-5 in 2023 and everyone is happy with progression because "Eddy"

France seemed to be in space whenever we kicked or they passed twice.

Why are we throwing to Hooper every time. I can remember Skelton and Arnold taking one each and the rest have been to Hooper

Geez we must be up to about 15 penalties this half. And the worst part is they are all correct.

Maybe we will see more of White for his kicking?

Suli is actually looking good....

It will be an absolute crime if Ikitau doesn't get called into the squad when fit. He has consistently been one of our best backs for the last 3 years.

Good on them. Its pretty shit the conditions they endure compared to the Wallabies.

Can anyone really say they are surprised? We're all still hoping that Eddie is some kind of genius, hell I had drunk the cool aid after the second bledisloe (until the WTF squad announcement) What if the guy is just a bit toxic?

Based on TRC i'd agree with this. I'm still amazed though that we are considering taking an uncapped Halfback and Prop (and almost an uncapped hooker) to the RWC. Maybe Eddie doesnt take a third 9, but it seems to silly we didnt give Lonergan some time

I heard ours is Thursday (or is that when they go to Darwin?)

Quade of 2023 after his injury isn't Quade of 2022 and before but I think he needs to be there as the reserve 10 and almost a player-coach. He seems to have an impact on the younger guys and is an excellent leader. If Gordon is injured then we're looking pretty poor

3. Gordon 2. T. Hooper 1. Pone

I'm not even disappointed with that effort. I honestly thought we'd have 50 put on us. I think it also showed what might be possible. The first half was sensational. We seemed to know how to pace ourselves a little more even when playing really fast. Unlike in Melbourne it didnt appear like we...

Starting 6 for sure. Leota had a bit of a 'Mare when he came on too. At least in the lineout.

It is nice to see a game where the ABs get called for their BS and penalized too.

Pone seems to have learnt the scrum now and he has been huge in attack. Faesslar has been great so far too. How long since we've kept the ABs to 3 in the first half. this is immense!

Is Gibbon injured? I would have thought he was the next in line for LH cover

I'm actually not against this as a tactic but I cant stand Eddies bullshit about winning the world cup/bledisloe.
