          Apparently, that 30 mins makes a big difference to Aussie TV audience.

              I think so - first outing for new combinations, new coaches, disrupted buildup - we could be ripe for the plucking.

                @nzzp Oz has no test locks, just promising youngsters.

                  Or be well up for it. Is it the first game for the oz as well?

                      Interesting note - Deans and Cheika both won their first Bledisloe games as coach of Aus.

                            Haha. Yeah, me and the boys spent a fair amount of cash on that trip. Turned out that our team performed about as well as our 5 man haka in front of a bunch of Sony corporate guys in Golden Gai the next night

                              Couple of mates are heavy advertisers with NZME, so have got free tickets for the game, including a spare for me - happy days.

                                My last job - in London, I asked in the interview whether the company had a box at Twickenham (as a half-joke, and a mate had dared me to). The answer was no, but they had heavy sponsorship of Wimbledon, Arsenal, various art galleries, etc - all the useless shit.

                                I completely forgot to ask about the Caketin in the job I just started. Unfortunately, I'm guessing the only similar thing these fluffybunnies might do is something to do with the America's Cup.

                                  @Kruse My boss in the UK didn't have a corporate box but had season tickets in great spots for both Twickers and Lords, unfortunately my visits to Twickers were all sad affairs...

                                    Both of those games were in Australia though, it's worth pointing out.

                                    The odds are juicy for a reason. We've had a similar post-RWC turnover of key positions and coaches. Ours may prove more beneficial in the long run, but we're very much at square one of a 3-4 year process.

                                    Expect to see a few inexperienced youngsters thrown in the deep end, a few new faces and combinations that may still be a year or two away. Guys like Noah Lolesio, Harry Wilson, Irae Simone, Filipo Daugunu.

                                    We won't win, and supporters have their expectations suitably low. What we want to see is attitude - work ethic, enthusiasm, mongrel. It may lack polish (which will see us lose in the end), but at least if the attitude is there we will be happy. Or, as happy as you can be when you lose to NZ.

                                        Those odds are well worth a punt on Aussie. Messed up year, and a very young team which will be fearless.

                                            I hate the 4pm Sunday kick off times. Such a fucken shit time for people with young kids. Alternative is to watch at a bar with mates and be hungover at work to start the week.

                                            Grumpy.

                                              You must be a terrible drinker if a 90 minute session is enough to get you hungover the next day.

                                              I think Sunday avo is an outstanding time particularly in the warmer more bbq friendly months.

                                                You try meeting 8 people at Aikmans at 3pm on a Sunday and escape unscathed. You'd have to be a bit of a dry balls not to tuck in a little.

                                                  You can’t go that early though and you have to leave right on full time cos the kids need looking after. It’s not the 80s. You can’t just leave them in the car with coke and chippies.

                                                              I think they might pair either Clarke and Reece or Bridge and Jordan (or they might go for the conservative Bridge and Reece), so as not to have debutants on both flanks.

                                                              Coles over Aumua if fit.

                                                                Quite like @sparky s team. I would probably have come up with the same.

                                                                With RIoane starting and BB on bench, the back three are well covered. Goodhue can either come in if Ioane has to move or if either of the starting midfielders is having an off day.
                                                                We need midfield cover on the bench. Not an area we can cover with an allrounder.

                                                                Maybe ALB could go bench, mainly due to Rennie knowing his game so well.

Savea is too good to bench IMO, so I have left him at 8, and Sotutu is someone that I think could move to 6 fairly easily.

                                                                      Take Cane away and my loose forward trio would be 6. Grace 7. Savea 8. Sotutu. If they selected Boshier I would have him on the bench aswell.
