Dunno if that’s quite what I would go with, but I like it, and man that’s a seriously heavy duty bench.

From all reports Sua'ali'i’i is more mature & composed than your average young footballer.

I thought last years disaster with Gordon showed exactly the perils of throwing players in to early but, some have it at that age and the vast majority of reports I’ve read about Sua'ali'i’i is that he is a level above both physically and mentally than most his age.

I don’t expect his path to not have a few slip ups but happy to back the judgement of Schmidt.

Of course Doran could turn out to be wrong too and maybe he isn’t starting.
Could Carter have been treated any worse?
He was abandoned the minute Quade was dropped.
Hung out to dry by Eddie Jones.
Reminded me of the front row debacle when Eddie had the wallabies the first time around.
Coaching should be more than getting the team in a huddle and saying " Don't be rubbish out there today."

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Making a 10 with one good season behind him where the side still came 2nd last the complete controller of a Test side in a WC looks to have also been a bold move.

It's true and there hasn't been this much general FTA coverage in years.

Have people at work that know I watch Rugby asking how is he going to go? Now, they won't get up and watch but are still consuming media on Rugby.
I couldn't see this game on free to air, have I got that right or would Judas and the black messiah indeed get higher ratings?

The game is at 2:10 am in Sydney. Nothing gets good ratings at that time. Nine bank on anyone silly and desperate enough to wake up to watch it is also silly enough to pay $27 / month for the privilege

Punters not impressed - Australia odds have blown out.

12.5 points head start and 6.5 for the win.
