Tomane has been the 13 in the backline when required last year and this year, similarly you have seen JOC (James O'Connor) defending there throughout the series. If there is an injury to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), it will be awful, but we have cover on the field who has done the job before.

Athilnaur Dan Carter = Best in the World, yes, but how did that pan out against France? He's been a bit on and off lately. Then again, if he were to fire on all cylinders it would be to save the Bledisloe. McCaw hasn't played a game in 6 months. Sure he's amazing, but 6 months? We all notice...

Dan Carter is just getting back into it, McCaw will be out of form, Ben Smith is no Cory Jane when it comes to the wing, for some reason Wyatt Crockett is being selected over Ben Franks, their only real option at blindside flanker has been playing like a repurposed 8 and Conrad Smith is taking a...

Bairdy Whitelock and Read co-captains? I thought Read was captain?

From the coaching material the IRB sends out occasionally, planning your team should be on the assumptions that your props and locks are effective for 60, all else can last the game. Similarly, to expect at most one injury. So the bench cover should, if you need to pull off the props and a lock...

He doesn't like being questioned and seems to understand the game well. One game he favours the attacking team, the next the defending. It's all on him how he referees, he won't be pushed around.

From the games I've seen he's mostly been a BSF who pilfers and rips mauls to shreds. Plays a bit of second receiver, but that might just be their overusing him because he's the best in the team.

jauzy19 This is why I am worried when I see you post :(

I wouldn't be shocked if we get a new coach leading into TRC, but I just want to make sure everyone understands - Australia looks fantastic right now. You could have my u7s coach take them and we'd probably get 2nd. If we get a new coach leading into TRC, do not give him credit for great...

Not after Saturday! Moore was EVERYWHERE.

If Horwill is out, Simmons is in = lineout caller if Mowen feels he needs to focus on captaining. And if the team list remains as is, he's played with 8 of the 14 other players for at least a season. Horwill has barely played with Douglas, Mowen, Smith, Tomane, Lealiifano and Folau, should he...

If Horwill is out, you'd expect Smith to start as VC with Genia or Mowen as captain.
