I can't see NZ winning this game with almost the same teams as last time!

Not sure why Glenn and Brown don't swap round. Good to see Luke starting, the more he plays the better. The good news is that we surely can't possibly go any worse than the Newcastle game.

Weak Kiwis squad. No centres, disjointed halves, terrible communication. 'Roos 30 - 10.

If we concede 50 I'm blaming your call

Nothing is threatening in the 1-5 positions except for Locke, rest are average. Should be a win for us.

If we concede 50 it'll come from Aus playing better, we honestly couldn't sink much lower then last week.

Sika Manu, Issac Luke and Ben Matulino starting are good calls. It won't be enough to turn the tide, the centres are still pissweak and unless there's some late tinkering we won't come close.
