Hard to say who's gonna win the match.
I was not a fan of Link getting the job, but I must admit I am favourably impressed by his selection of players on the basis of form, rather than reputation or provincial history. It's a good start.
The Wobs look definitely a level harder that the sorry mob picked by Dingo, at least we'll bruise them with interest.
Lot of respect for the ABs (not douchebag Hansen), but they'll have to work hard to beat this team.

Does Kuridrani have much experience on the wing?

If they moved Folau to the back then I'm certain that Kuridrani would jump onto the wing leaving AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) where he is.

I'd suggest that if Folau went to fullback they'd bring Cummins (or another specialist) in to the wing spot and leave Kuridrani on the bench. Which isn't a dig at the latter, it's just the most logical and sensible way to deal with it..a trait I'm hoping the new coach has v. his predecessor!!

Yes I hope they're ok.
No, I've bought my tickets to Wellington and to the test, they can just bloody well play.

Going with the family, but luckily that includes a 16yo son who's a pretty handy babysitter. Could be up for it I reckon. We're heading over on Friday and staying near Cuba Street.

Well Merrow we staying in Cuba St, so think the chances of a least a quiet beer somewhere sounds bloody promising!!

Sounds like a plan. We were going to head in there after the game. I guess it depends on who wins as to how quiet the beer is ;)

Well we go with a mixture of All Black and Wallaby supporters, one mate who is Wallaby supporter is pretty grim if Wallabies lose, but rest of us just like a beer, mind you we will probably have beer before game too!!

I thought he had played there a bit but couldn't find much on him on the net anywhere. So I'm not sure. Regardless I'm sure he could handle it and the more players in the backline that get shuffled for one replacement the worse the situation. Lets hope we don't find out but! ;-)

I'd suggest that if Folau went to fullback they'd bring Cummins (or another specialist) in to the wing spot and leave Kuridrani on the bench. Which isn't a dig at the latter, it's just the most logical and sensible way to deal with it..a trait I'm hoping the new coach has v. his predecessor!!

Garry and I were talking about this weekend. Sadly Cummins didn't make the cut. But yes I would prefer the honey badger on the wing over Kuidrani. :)

Just realised something. C.Smith and C.Smith. Has anyone ever actually seen them in the same room together?

A like Link's selections. I think the wobs are going to come out with a lot of energy and adverture. But i expect theyll probably be chased down by the blacks in the second half

Spot on Hawko.
Christian was the best five eighth in Australia last year,seems inneffective at 12. I love Mogg but fear he made be found out. It's more his standoffishness that worries me than the actual missed attempts.But if he can be unleashed he is a Campo in the making so defense may be excused.would rather JOC (James O'Connor) or izzy at fullback with the badger on the wing,for now.
Forwards will be fine I feel, will stand up like Brisbane 2011, coach will actually be able to rev them up in the change roomwith 'lets get into these Kiwi c.....' with a straight face!!
