I'm shitting bricks over this game, I had confidence until I saw it was Lawrence and now I really have no fucking idea what's going to happen.
Breakdown infringements and stupid scrum penalties will probably dominate this game, let's hope he doesn't try re-set the scrum every three seconds. I feel the IRB will have clear instructions to the referee's to not waste time with this kind of bullshit. Fortunately, that favours the good guys.
Our front three are going to need to step up, our locks are going to need to make a bigger impact, our back row is going to need to be on fire for the full 80, our halves combination and going to need to be perfectly in-sync, our midfield is going to need to tackle like there ain't no tomorrow and our back three and going to need to be dynamic when given space...most importantly, our bench is going to need to be noticed, no more bullshit half-assed efforts, we need body-moving players who make an impact from the second they run on to the second they crawl off, not one person can go unnoticed.
Now is the time to stand up and be counted, we have the potential there, the players, the coach and perhaps fortunately, our backs against the wall. I ask every Wallaby supporter to pray that Lawrence stays the fuck out of the game, pray that the rain stays away, pray that BDP is selected on the bench and pray that they pick Botha over Russouw. We don't want a kicking contest, we want open try scoring rugby. May the best team win, I have no problem if that's the bad guys so long as it's not on the back of a bad referee decision or stupid Cooper pass.
It's been too long since our last world cup win and I'll be fucked if I have to wait another 4 years to watch the same players make the same mistakes.
