I put us at very long odds of winning a TRC game.They're definitely not easy to beat, I think we will definitely lose one of the games, just that we have the ability to beat them in a game. It wasn't until the 2000's that we one a series there from memory. Tough place to go.
If you take any notice of most Kiwis commenting on this,they think it's a good move by Robertson.McDonald didn't actually set the world on fire with Auckland,when he was coaching with Joe.What's the consensus on this idea...

‘Worth a phone call’: Wallabies urged to swoop after All Blacks coaching bust-up
Kiwis were shocked by the sudden exit of assistant Leon MacDonald from the All Blacks coaching staff after a personality clash with head coach Scott Robertson.www.theage.com.au
They are good but certainly not on the level of the Boks. Maybe somewhere in between them and Wales. Hopefully JS will let them play a more expansive game. If we can notch a win or two it would be great. Either way, once again looking for measurable improvement.I put us at very long odds of winning a TRC game.
Can junior play loose or tight?Slipper has stayed behind for the birth of his child, putting him in doubt for the 1st test.
I have him 3rd in line regardless.
Yes it’s almost like they knew the wife of one of the props was in the late stages of pregnancy and he might not be availableIt’s a good thing Schmidt brought in that additional loosehead prop into the squad…
Its a marginal squad position so I don't think its a huge deal but yeah bit weird Hodgeman wasn't the next option.No massive issue with Robertson but Hodgeman is surely a bit stiff? Musn't fit the profile
Schmidt has worked with him at the Blues. He would know better than any of us. It has to be said he was bought in to help Leon out.Saw a report saying Wallabies should hire Leon Mcdonald. Now I don’t know anything about the bloke but do you think he would a valuable pickup for the Wallabies?
Could just be Robinson can play both sides. As simple as that for trainingIts a marginal squad position so I don't think its a huge deal but yeah bit weird Hodgeman wasn't the next option.
I think Leon Macdonald would really help our attack, as a lot of our players aren't that experienced at international level and he will bring a bit more spark to themSaw a report saying Wallabies should hire Leon Mcdonald.

Think Mike Catt will do exactly that at the Tahs this year.I think Leon Macdonald would really help our attack, as a lot of our players aren't that experienced at international level and he will bring a bit more spark to them
I mean, really, do Wallaby fans actually think "this is the year we get the Bledisloe back"??![]()
