Wrong thread

The OP of the other thread is the one and only person on my Ignore List.

Ergo, all his posts and any other members posts in a thread he starts are invisible to me.

Wondered why there wasn’t a game thread yet

They’ll pick him. Why else go through the Aus A charade.

Yes exactly. 2 matches missed (when he'd likely be rested for 1 of them regardless of a ban) out of 5 isn't something to just ignore him for.

He'll probably be a key player against Italy where a lot of the first choice players are rested for.

Ahh, is that why I can't get into it.

LOL@the conga line forming of members with OP on Ignore.

The thickness and comprehension chasms combined with the arrogance to call other people "idiots" is a giant WiFiWFT elixir of yeah I'm giving that impenetrably prolix syntactical fail a wide motherfucking berth.

Oh sorry fellas, didn't realise I was on ignore by DP the poster who has thrown a hissyfit on seemingly every other rugby forum, oh hell, how will I sleep?

Guys, I don't know about you but I have a feeling based on nothing that we are going to win this game.

Why not, you should've won the last game. You basically did. NZ should be back in the throes of fozzie woe instead of this false confidence.

I actually really like that team.

Harry Wilson and Nick Frost out of Witness protection, good to see

 

[tragic]

I would’ve been tempted to start with frost as I don’t think Holloway has done much so far. Persisting with Wright puzzles me a bit as well.
But not unhappy with that lineup.
Pleased for Wilson - hope he has a blinder as the back row position on EOYT is up for grabs

I can understand Wright, Eden Park not the best place to throw Vunivalu to the wolves

Jed Holloway seems a guaranteed starter, based on...…..(checks notes) Absolutely nothing

Wouldn’t it be based on the fact that pretty much every other viable alternative is unavailable? Unless you want to chuck Langi Gleeson in there, or a Brumbies academy player.

Frost has looked pretty good when given the opportunity.
Why not start him and give Holloway a bit of a wake up call on the bench.

I think Vuni clearly isn’t ticking the boxes Rennie wants to see.

There shouldn’t be any worry about him being thrown ‘to the wolves’ - he’s played in more high pressure games over his footy career than most of the blokes in our team. I think he’s simply not showing enough to warrant selection.

If he was, this is the type of game you’d want him on the bench, we know he can score points and that could be useful in a place we’ve traditionally struggled.

Fair enough, I misread that slightly as ‘guaranteed in the 23’. There are really only forced changes so I’d say everyone is being rewarded for last week’s robbery. Jed played 80 I think.

Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has lit the fuse ahead of the Rugby Championship finale, saying World Rugby conceded a crunch time-wasting call in the opening Bledisloe Cup loss was wrong.
Rennie said a 'please explain' issued to World Rugby after the Test produced a concession the Wallabies playmaker was harshly treated.
"They agreed with our concerns," Rennie said.
"We seeked (sic) a bit of clarity. We've got that. It's not going to help us win on the weekend," he said.

Good to see they did something about it - he’s running the sidelines on the weekend ffs
