Bledisloe time

[ozbash]

AB's have picked a good team.

 

[Twizzle]

they'll need one

 

[ozbash]

Lol..

We're safe, Dingo never picked Quade Cooper..

 

[Twizzle]

don't need him

 

[ozbash]

Berrick Barnes is pretty predictable.

Really, the only Wallaby worth the worry is your halfback, Gennia.

i hope the AB's feel the same - that will free up Ioane and Beale.

while I tend to agree he is just keeping that spot warm for the special one

Could either be a grinding win for Australia or a 24 point flogging to the AB's.

Deans has picked a 5-2 bench with only two back replacements. Not good when you have Beale and Barnes in the side. And Horne.

Waaaaay too many soft Waratahs in their for my liking. No Brumbies in the starting team??

Agreed. Will either be a narrow win to Oz or a flogging to the AB's...and too many Tahs. I'm a massive fan of Hugh Pyle - would like to see him in there over Timani. Would have thought Moore got the nod over Tatafu but i'm not arguing as he's awesome but he's another who seems to get injured too often. Barnes offers nothig in attack so he those stupid dummies of his fool no one. I'd also start with Mitchell and put captain versatility (Ashley-Cooper) on the bench. We can only hope that Beale and Ioane get some clean front foot ball...

 

[Thomas]

I actually would have benched Horne, slotted Mitchell on the wing and put AAC in at outside centre.

I don't mind the Aussie pack. It has a bit of mongrel about it. Timani is useless though.

 

[Silent But Deadly]

Yeah i'd be happy with AAC in place of Horne. Another concern is Higgers at 8. He should do a decent job but his best position is 6. We just has no depth at 8. McCalman & Brown are pathetic. A top notch specialist 8 would make all the difference imo. I hear Toutai Kefu has kept himself pretty fit and is coaching Sunshine Coast (at least he was coaching them last year). Someone should call him!

 

[Karl]

So f**king sick of seeing so many Tahs in the National side.

It would be like having the Kangaroos Side stacked with players from the Eels.

 

[jamaman]

i hope the Convicts can tame SBW! :crazy:

 

[Silent But Deadly]

i hope the Convicts can tame SBW! :crazy:

If we do manage to, it means we haven't tamed someone else (probably Dagg or Guildford)...

 

[Thomas]

A. Finger knows how to deal with SBW.

I'm more worried about Nonu.

 

[Silent But Deadly]

Who are we kidding? I'm worried about all 22 of them!

 

[jamaman]

A. Finger knows how to deal with SBW.

The ole Hopate tackle!..Goldfinger :crazy:

 

[hellteam]

I hope we get slaughtered. f**k off deans, he has no idea

 

[kia ora storm]

Digby Ioane...so overated it is not funny.

AB's by 10.

He's not overated. It's just hard for him to justify his rating when he gets minimal quality ball. Wallabies by 2.
