With Poite as referee we must start well in the scrums. He tends to reward the team with the dominant drive with the penalty rather than try and work out who is technically infringing.

We can win. The backline can only get better in attack. Our defence was extraordinarily good.
Beale has not played 10 for yonks. He will learn from his mistakes (they all will), and To'omua must be better for the hit-out.
We have more improvement in us than the Darkness. If we want it enough, we can take the buggers.

That be my 15.. I think till Speight ready it's better for the team for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to wing it.
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is the best 13 but TK is a big body that hits the inside shoulder hard.

True, but in Bledisloe you don't have 12 weeks of competition to improve, you've essentially 2 or 3 weeks and the trophy is gone.
With the greatest respect to Link (who I rate highly) tests against the ABs aren't the time to be trying out combinations and/or positional changes.

Those asserting the Black Watch have less improvement in them are delusional.
You have been saying we need To'omua at 10 because neither Foley nor Beale do a good enough job there. But you want to give White another chance after his very ordinary form against France and last night, AND getting outplayed badly against the Tahs halfback i.e. his direct competition for the Wallaby shirt.

WTF?
Is that a typo?
Your preferred use of the box kick is in our own 22?
Why don't we just pull down our pants and.........

Hooper didn't even make a pilfer. Has to be dropped. We need an openside not a 3rd winger!

Liam Gill your suggested replacement, I presume?
Funnily enough, from my 2 viewings, neither did McCaw. Maybe he's fucked too?
Strange, as he is kind of the archetype 7 in many eyes.

Of course. Let's bring Beau Robinson in on the bench too!

Get forwards in front of the ball, tell White to vary it up between box kicking himself and giving the kick exit duty to To'omua and Beale. Problem solved.
If White doesn't kick, you only give the All Blacks chasers fewer options to charge down. Next week, the majority could be berating To'omua or Beale for being charge downed.
I'm sure White will be working doubly hard in kicking practice this week.

Geez Chris Alcock is hard done by there to be overlooked for Beau Robinson!

A year or two maybe. Would take the Perth Spirit replacement openside any day of the week though.
