The Wallabies are playing like the team we're used to.........

Nah, it was a pretty clear yellow - around the neck, away from the ruck, dangerous play, after just being warned by the ref.

If White had flipped over his head that would've been a red........... Deserved yellow though - Coles has a history of being a dirty player.

With the two games against Uruguay and Georgia it would be ideal to have Powell play the bulk of those games, with minimal minutes from Genia and White. I think there's enough flexibility in the backline that BH named that we probably only need one more in there to cover us.

It made sense last time due to the schedule in our pool to only take two hookers and halfbacks........... I think that this time around we'll definitely have three hookers, and it will be ideal to have three halfbacks for the matches against Uruguay and Georgia. We can make changes to the 31...

I think he'll most definitely go.........

Kerevi is pretty good......... but I don't know how he'll go packing down in the front row? ;)

AAA is probably the best TH prop in the southern hemisphere right now......... TT is a very good young prop........ his scrummaging isn't quite there yet, but he provides some good impact around the ground. But I know which thread I'm in so I'll leave it at that.........

Even saltier......... https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/114924364/inconsistency-on-laws-revealed-in-samu-kerevi-hit-on-beauden-barrett?fbclid=IwAR3HFbKTioam5VCdyiKka2ygrWDAM1ofL-5hIh7-jdzMVyppo_bjipzD8q0#comments

Salty, salty tears......... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12257778

I'm not sure, but the SMH report states that Tupou is now the highest paid prop in Australia, which is......... interesting.

Ala'alatoa might feel slightly aggrieved by the amount Tupou is receiving.........

I definitely wouldn't start Coleman.......... He's earned a reprieve with his performance off the bench, and I would play him there again, but our current starting locks are building a nice combination and we need to keep that momentum going. Also, our lineout is functioning for the first...

Let's play to win this........ keep the momentum with minimal unforced changes - in fact, I would only bring Pocock or Samu onto the bench.

Slim 293, Sep 18, 2018 - Also, can't say I've ever called for Maddocks to play in the centres?

Foley and Kuridrani are probably both in the same predicament, in that if neither of them start then they won't be in the 23 at all............ However, they're both far and away the first choice replacements in their respective positions and guaranteed to be in the squad.

It was mentioned elsewhere that other players were seen out having a good time........ but I'd be surprised if all the players personally let you know about their holiday plans? If they go for the same centre partnership as last night, of course Kuridrani won't be in the 23. He'll be...

The players had a week off......... I'd also guarantee he'll be on the plane.

Just looking at how the squad is shaping up for the RWC, there'll only be room for one of AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), DHP and Petaia to make the squad......... The first two haven't been playing good enough this year to really deserve inclusion, and Petaia hasn't really played enough top level rugby. But the...

I'd say Maddocks is definitely scratched, but there's only space for one more backline player in the squad so only one of those three will go......... The other three positions will go to a hooker and two backrowers.
