Australia by 12

You'd think he'd be good for 20 minutes even if he wasn't at peak fitness......he's a big bopper that's for sure!

No, I don't think that is the point BamBam was trying to make. It is not about being crap and getting dropped, rather if neither White nor Genia had put in standout performances and he only wanted to take two halves to the RWC, then it would make sense to take Genia over White.

Obviously that would make it pretty clear but I was referring to the continual reference to Genia being the 3rd choice right now and the discussion of whether Cheika would take him to the RWC. I don't think Cheika would include anyone just to get a player an extra cap or two for future...

Maybe so, but that would depend on whether Genia is in fact Cheika's third choice. What makes everyone so sure he is #3 in the pecking order? We was picked as starting half for the first TRC match, and given wasn't having a blinder, the only reason he didn't come back after half-time was because...

Now that would be blowing air at the cats ass :confused:

Yep.....was wondering the same thing myself. If it was intentional then it a was a very clever thing to do......oh, and the gold field marking were a nice touch too o_O

I am loving the fact that Shag spent a good deal of this week figuring out how the AB's were going to counter the Pooper.......queue Cheika's masterstroke... DON'T PLAY THE POOPER!!! Similarly, loving the way Cheika has held his cards until AFTER the AB's side has been named.

Damn yeah! I love the look of that team......hang on, Douglas??? WTF......Phipps gone....WOWOWWWW Massive calls by Cheika!

Even though Phipps may still be edging ahead of White to be the starting #9, I would prefer to see White paired with Cooper if we are going to see QC (Quade Cooper) start. I rate his passing (length and accuracy) a good deal more than Phipps. All I hope is that White keeps a lid on his emotions and doesn't try...

Was overthinking that......wondering if we won't see Pocock starting at 7 and Palu starting at #8. Skelton & Pala then subbed early in the 2nd half with the Hooper and Mumm coming on (Pocock to #8) I think Cheika is going to won't some big boppers out there early to take the big hits that are...

Sorry...I just realized what I did there.....edited now.

My guess is that we are going to see Skelton starting this week with Hooper on the bench. I am hoping to see the rumoured starting lineup of White-Cooper-To'omua and if we do, I am going to go out on limb and say Australia by 12

Anyone know when we can expect the team to be announced?

What's more, we can even get away with a draw.

LOVE THIS SH*T:)

If they trot Dagg out this weekend then their kicking stocks will improve. Savea couldn't kick a bad habit and not sure about NMS.....can he kick? Can we expect to see B.Smith moved to 14, Dagg 15 and NMS 11? (Savea gone?)

So who would be the possible replacements for Izzy? AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Beale? Mitchell? AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at #15 would create room for the much debated Speight experiment?

Have been lurking around on the Silver Fern forum and enjoying our Kiwi brethren tear into things. Here's one post I thoroughly enjoyed reading... "I literally have no idea re the side this weekend because not only did we lose, we fucked up our "locked in" places for the cup. NMS was...

I think Gits is Cheika's #12 for the RWC and rightly so IMO. With the game this weekend there may be some validity to the argument to start To'omua at 12 for his aggressive / dominant defense and to keep Gits in cotton wool. We all know the buggers are going to be coming with all guns blazing so...
