Fozzie on the news hinting he's keeping powder dry...
Also said what I had posted earlier, DMac has had a lot of rugby this season, and they had it worked out last week who was playing, as I said the clue was probably he played 80 minutes. Same with Sam W, I would rather play safe with him, have seen too many out with achillies flaring up.
LOL what tiring defence? Without Sami on there is little in the front row to tire them out!
Lol at tiring defense when they have subbed 6 of 8 forwards

@antipodean Good idea to have a couple of form newbies on the bench and if the right conditions exist they can have 20 mins off the bench.
I think we should have more confidence in SR form. -

Interesting to hear Foz say Ennor is covering 12 and they've been working with him on that behind the scenes
Him and Rieko would make a pretty swift midfield.
-
Maybe this is the year that RMo turns super form in to test form
Maybe this is the year that RMo and BB sync in attack
Maybe this is the year that Frizzell justifies the faith and shows up with a display that is more than "solid"
Maybe this is the year.Or maybe hope and faith are actually shit strategies

@antipodean I could stare at that gif all day, what was this thread again?
I genuinely watched that repeat about 20 times, then started thinking about commenting on it, before scrolling down to see you had the same thoughts.

@Steve said in Argentina v All Blacks:
At this stage of the cycle we should have a core 12 players and then time and wiggle room for a flavour of the month , a Milner Skudder type with the hot hand (Stevenson) to be the icing on the cake.
4 games from word cup and we are still fluting around with Frizell, Beaudy, Caleb.
Its an omni shambles.
Mo'unga has won super rugby 7 years on the spin??? Is that right? And he has never been properly given the keys to the castle.
I love DMAC. He could play a blinder this week....and you know what happens next week? He is either dropped or shunted to 15 so Mo'unga gets a go.
EVERYONE has been done a disservice since 2019 including Beaudy. Backrow the same.
As predicted.....DMAC jettisoned. Fozzie gonna Foz.
-
I've got no problem that RM is starting but in my mind would have been logical to have DMac in the 23 if things go pear shaped. He's a brilliant sub too cos of his versatility
-
Yes, the longer they persist with hoping it changes, the older and less confident the players become and it means it gets further away from happening.
Fozzie ain’t going to change now though with 9tests left on his watch.
With Schmidt and Ryan running the side now, we are better placed to do well and actually have modern tactics applied the this AB side. Watching Ireland bamboozle us with their attacking patterns was embarrassing
We will have to wait till next year where we will have real change and the moaning will probably be around a crusader bias.

@Bovidae yep, the best hooker in our squad is wasted if he isn't playing 30+ minutes, we know Smith can play 80, and if this is tight, will probably play close to that, but he shouldn't be.
Mate we getting our best hooker starting I think, and personally think Samisoni coming on late will be good, against tiring Bok defence. I not sure they will be a leery of him as some teams are. He probably better against tiring defence, though with Boks having Marx on bench , I not sure that will count for a lot.
I for one would prefer Sami throwing in at the death than Codie.

Wtf is going on ABs social media this year.
Last year/previous years they used to have interviews with Foz/players when the team was named, they used to post press conferences and they used to have 'In The Sheds' videos after the game and now all of that has been canned.
Talk about bare mininum.
IIRC, people were arguing last year there was too much of this sort of stuff, it was distracting, showed a lack of focus and a symptom of a poor culture.
Maybe they've done some thinking and made some changes.

If we did, Ennor would have started instead of Jordie.

@Victor-Meldrew you recall incorrectly

Stop talking bollocks and show me Enmor's form in the 12 jumper.
And you get surprised when you're called a a Foster apologist

Protection much? I'm still waiting to hear about the amazing form of Ennor in the 12 jumper.
