I would struggle to find even one example of any AB team go out with the intention of taking it lightly because they think they have got it in the bag. The suggestion itself is laughable, our away record speaks for itself as does the pride the team have in the jersey..
I don't believe it's ever intentional. But when every team you play saves their best effort to try and topple you, if you aren't quite there mentally you run the risk of losing

Remember against Argentina last year, Ireland in Chicago and New South Wales County in 1992. All games that were assumed to be easy beforehand but were anytbing but.
We can be beaten regardless, I would still doubt it something they think they have in the bag. Did you really think Ireland was going to be easy in Chicago? I certainly didn't, I doubt the team did either, did we play our best? probably not, but i doubt it was just attributed too mentally not turning up as that also shows a lack of respect.
As for a dirt tracker team ..maybe I will agree with one there as half the team potentially on the piss as rugby wasn't professional then, but the others are a stretch in my book

Great guy to call in, no half back better, but surely he won't be available for the Ireland test after just flying in.
at best maybe bench but yeah i doubt it

I reckon he is good enough to go straight back in, he's that good. I not saying they will do it, but he's certainly capable.
If he's not too jetlagged I'd put him straight in. Him and Whitelock are probably the two most important players as their replacements are quite the step down.

100% if he gets there with enough time to settle in etc

I see some keyboard warriors claiming preferential treatment for ABs and AS being able to get an MIQ spot to come back...muppets

well when approximately 9000 yesterday missed out on MIQ spots for the next few months, that's an easy one to jump to

Of course they are getting preferential treatment. But individuals competing overseas aren't

My sister and her family almost certainly won't be coming back from Melbourne at Xmas. Unless they basically abolish MIQ for travel to and from Oz shortly.
Down vote. -
@canefan yeah, thats the decision we've come too, cheap flights to sydney with Mrs Wombles brother and family....unless MIQ gets dropped and then we'll try and transfer the flights

@mariner4life although you'd think when they booked thier spots months back they booked a few extra in case on injury call ups?
