Potentially

I’m a big fan also but this is a really big ask. Hope he’s up to it. Most would not be.

Yes. WTF is it with all these Australians coaching against the Wallabies?

Of course that’s what we will see and with JOC (James O'Connor) at 13.

Kerevi will play. CLL just needs to cut him out at times bringing JOC (James O'Connor) and DHP into the game, and of course we need to get the pill to the wings. Kerevi has been well contained so far. He might be due a blinder?

Built around attack but the only way they see the ball outside Kerevi is if he is stuck in a ruck. If that happens and TK gets his hands on it Koro and Petaia have Buckley’s chance of seeing it. JOC (James O'Connor) stays at 13. He’s the link dude who can feed the wingers.

Game of the tournament so far. The Japanese play an ultra attractive style of rugby. Well done to both sides.

All true but Arnold was flat out making the squad before this year. He’s far from irreplaceable and we have some real talent coming through. We will have the post RWC roll over but I think we are looking pretty good in the second row, as much as Arnold will be missed.

If they do go with TK at 13, which is highly unlikely, I would play JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 with Kerevi on the bench. It will be 10. CLL 12. SK 13. JOC (James O'Connor) To'omua on the bench.

Held what back, any semblance of creativity in their attack? Very clever indeed.

It was a typically inept performance by these Wallabies. The only hope for next week is if we pull off a Perth like performance, which does happen every now and then. Tactics were arrogant where conditions called for playing territory and kicking for the corners. Instead we went for an...

Hope to see Petaia get some time at 13 late in the game on the weekend if he is a chance to play in the quarters. Not suggesting he starts anytime at 13 but he will need to cover it.

It looks a good side but leaving AAA out, while understandable, is risky. The Georgian scrum will be more than solid. Having said that both AAA and Hooper could use a break. 40 minutes each for Kepu and TT. Looking forward to Petaia having more opportunity in space and to seeing how this backrow...

“Full strength pack” without our captain and probably best forward so far in this RWC?

No way FF (Folau Fainga'a) jumps into the 23 on the back of that performance. Petaia and TK did their chances no harm. Ditto for TT and Dempsey maybe.

3. TK 2. Slipper 1. Petaia

He is also more consistent in the scrum

Sounds like a Cheika has already decided that To'omua rides the pine. CLLs structure as a 5/8 is the best of the three if we play to the game plan. Even maybe give a half to each. Genia has an off game after starring against Fiji. I think he’s better suited to coming home as well.

No offence intended with the coconut comment. I live in a place where we have a lot of them. One hand for the coconut and one for the cutlass. That’s how we do it and when Samu carries it looks just like that.

Yes, Kerevi brings so much. It looked liked he had upped his offload game in the Soup but it’s dried up now. He also insists on carrying the ball one handed like a coconut and is losing it often. Surely these are easy things to fix? Edit: He has 0 offloads in the game on the weekend and 3...
