How about that bloke who just started as the kicker for the SF 49ers? How did we let him go?

That’s about right. If Pocock is fit he needs to play a half to prove himself. Maybe Petaia gets a run at 13? AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is probably not a wing anymore. It would be nice to play a couple of wings with genuine pace and see what happens.

The good thing is that we touched them up in Perth. We know it and they know it. If we come up against them in Japan on a dry pitch it’s game on.

Pocock comes in if fit. If not or too big a risk then Samu. Petaia should be included and given time against Samoa.

3. Hooper 2. White 1. Koroibete

Back row is a massive issue. Hooper and Naisarani are both playing well individually but we need to find the bloke who pulls it all together. Wright looked decent with very little time last night.

Yes. And hopefully Samu gets time against Samoa as well.

We were terrible in the wet conditions. Lealiifano was a shadow of the player we saw in Perth, partly because of the conditions but more so because our pack was getting smeshed. Kerevi was strong with ball in hand again but he is a crap playmaker/distributor. Beale had one of those games that...

I agree it is wrong no matter who is doing it. The ref will be looking for it this week. How to police it though?

I was referring to the media. Just saying that there was no response when it was highlighted many times in previous years by the press as well as Cheika.

They want to complain about neck rolls now? David Pocock no doubt has permanent damage from all the times he has been neck rolled over the past 4-5 seasons, mainly by the darkness. Poor bloke will not be able to look over his shoulder when he’s 40. The Australian coach and press screamed blue...

Foley is going.

Coleman has a lot to prove and more test experience than Rodda or Arnold. He will be fine. We need to maintain the physicality shown in Perth. He will be up for it.

Apparently there are other press saying no changes except maybe Coleman in for Arnold? Should be out soon.

Man, I hope they spring a surprise and we see Poey on the bench. Wright would be interesting. I would prefer TK to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

He is not going to start every test at the RWC.

Talking RWC

Pocock on the bench and rotating with Hooper when need be. Gotta take two 7s no matter what. May as well have one that can play 6 and 8 too. If Poey doesn’t go then Samu and maybe Wright do.

Well I think they can take a bit of the credit for that. I’m guessing JOC (James O'Connor) at 13 comes from Johnson through Berne. Ditto for White starting. One would think that with 3 selectors that there is a clear majority regarding most selections and that Cheika no longer has the right to veto the other two.

Sadly Cheika is arrogant enough to think that we can win going ahead with the planned rotation. Time to really have a go at sticking it to the ABs at home. Even if we don’t win push them hard so they have something to think about between now and the RWC.
