      A few sore bodies on both sides.

      I’ll be interested to see if they give Moody another week off and have him primed for the Argies.

      Whitelock looked better for the extra time off so they may have a couple of others that get rotated before taking on Argies.

      I personally would like to see the same midfield start but it could be the perfect opportunity to see what a Laumape and R. Ioane combination do...

        Time to see if Akira is better option at 6 than Frizzel. Also would like to see Weber from the bench.

        Reiko to 14, but not too many changes otherwise you can’t judge the new players that well.

          Yes, yes and yes.

          Time for Jordan to have a taste of test footy off the bench too.

                    All three please.

                    Wouldn't mind Vaa'i having another go from the bench. Like what I've seen of him.

                    Maybe Aumua in 18.

                    Will match report from the Stadium. First test I'll have been to since 2014.

                            I think the current mid field is developing well, Goodhue gets through some work as he settling into 12.

                            He's gone well without setting the world on fire, that miss on Petaia wasn't good but Petaia ain't no slouch either and Goodhue wont be the last good player he beats like that.

                            Not sure Laumape is the answer as a starting 12, so if this current duo is what they see as the long-term one (that i think they do) then they need to invest in them...although he doesn't look to be moving freely on that heavily strapped knee (saw when he couldn't take that high pass how he moved after)

                                He definitely shouldn't be rested unless injured. He's the captain.

                                  It is hard to know what they should do, as Cane mentioned this team has got better each week, do you just make minimal changes and finish off the Wallabies with strongest team? Moody in, RI for JB and Savea to bench.
                                  Or do you think we only have 3 games left let's mix and match and give the wider squad some minutes.
                                  I suspect they will make minimal changes as they want to win the Tri Nations as their first priority and we need to win next week to do that.

                                        Build your core team as a priority but give the likes of Akira, Reiko and Aumua a run off the bench.

                                            Guess it would allow Ardie to start with Akira to bench. But I doubt Cane if fit would want to miss a game.

                                              Agree but would love to see Reiko starting.

                                              Still rate him higher than Clarke.

                                              Starting them both would be pretty handy.

                                                How does that work with a second openside?

                                                IF Cane is out means Papalii or Kirifi has to be in the XXIII.

                                                Or a 6-2 bench?

                                                  Not sure it's what he was thinking but watching Sotutu, I was left wondering after the game if he might make a decent fist of covering 7.

                                                          Disgusting hit on cane, so I can't see him playing, he's got bad head history. Ardie in at 7, straight swap. Not much changes until Arg

                                                            Guess it would allow Ardie to start with Akira to bench. But I doubt Cane if fit would want to miss a game.

                                                            How does that work with a second openside?

                                                            IF Cane is out means Papalii or Kirifi has to be in the XXIII.

                                                            Or a 6-2 bench?

                                                            Have you seen how fit Akira looks at the moment? I would rather have him covering 6,7,8 then have Kirifi there for just 7. I have not seen enough of Paps to see if he is better than Akira at covering all. Do we need a specialist 7 on the bench these days? Cane plays pretty tight and a lot like a 6 to me anyway.

                                                                                The guy is thick as two planks and can't even kick or pass the ball with any consistency or accuracy. Great under the high ball, and can counterattack.

                                                                                But you're some kind of rugby simpleton if you think he's fixing the whole system that led us to this point.

                                                                                    I think that draw papered over some cracks the performances have gotten worse each time, so this next match is gonna be interesting.

                                                                                    I think there is plenty of talent in the Wallaby squad but they played poorly, there were glimpses of what could be but they were thier own worst enemies last night.

                                                                                    We were pretty ruthless in that 1st half punishing thier errors.

                                                                                    We came out with less vigor in 2nd 40, Aus with more and we had more of a contest, although Aus kept piling the pressure on themselves.

                                                                                    That said, the graphic that popped up late in the game, think it showed 31 handling errors and turnovers by Aus, we had 21 of the same, which is a high number for both teams.
