AB's have a reasonable height difference on the wings - Bridge (186cm) and Barrett (196cm) over Daungunu (175cm) and Koroibete (180cm). I'd be expecting Mo'unga and B Barrett to be peppering the corners all day long. We should be preparing for a Luftwaffe aerial assault. Hopefully our little...

WALLABIES (1-15): James Slipper, Folau Fainga'a, Taniela Tupou, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Matt Philip, Harry Wilson, Michael Hooper, Pete Samu, Nic White, James O'Connor, Marika Koroibete, Matt To'omua, Hunter Paisami, Filipo Daugunu, Tom Banks RESERVES: Jordan Uelese, Scott Sio, Allan Ala'alatoa...

I'm not sure it's 'us' jokers in a dream world either.... what is apparent is that there are dreamers and jokers on both sides of the Tasman. My take is that NZR are both dreamers and jokers.

If Rennie was thinking defensively like that we would have seen Kuridrani in the squad. He is not. We will see JP at 13.

Just reading the tea leaves. Not arguing that Samu wouldn't be a great bench option - he would. I, however, do suspect that he'll be starting at number 8, complimented by a bigger body at 6 (Valetini or Wilson).

I don't think it's news worthy on it's own accord. Rather, it's interesting when read in context of an upcoming test match and the inferences that can be made to the team announcement. My read: Liam Wright will be in the 20 jersey.

Wayne Smith in the Australian this morning on Liam Wright" If true, I think that is a very strong indication that Wright will be in the Number 20 jersey on match day. He's almost the perfect bench loosie, being able to play 7 and 6 in equal aplomb. If you have two of Wilson, Samu, Valetini or...

Do you think a ticket to the Bledisloe at Suncorp will be sufficient to get a Queensland Border Declaration Pass?

NT and NSW have announced from 16th October that they'll welcome travellers from NZ. It's not yet reciprocal.

Only one way though. NZ can come straight to NSW, but will have to quarantine back the other way.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story....

His future? Easting sushi in Japan. His immediate future? Training hard with the Wallabies providing cover at lock and 6 if we have a bad run of injuries.

True, but I think Bridge will almost certainly be there.

No. Nor will the AB's play them together. More likely one of Bridge or Jordan paired with one of Reece or Clarke.

How dose that indicate that RA is badly run?

I've also picked up on the talk from camp. May be a small nuance, but I also like how Rennie is referring to the players as 'men' and the Wallabies as ' the Wallaby family'. Similarly, I've enjoyed reading about how Rennie himself selected who would be bunked with who as roommates...

The point is that Wright is a better balanced player offering a ball-playing winger with a boot. As Rennie said to the Media, "Daungunu could beat you in a telephone booth", has electric feet and defends well (when he has his technique dialled in). The difficultly in playing Daungunu is...
