Roigard will be back, presumably in place of Perenara
Suspect TJ goes at the expense of Noah. But who knows
The AB XV is same region when tests played so argument for giving Hotham and Bell game time there, and can always be called across if there’s an injury.

Surely beating a team ranked tenth in the world at home is expected, not a cause for celebration?
That’s the English mindset when they play Wales and Scotland
We’ve seen the wheels come off the chariot far too many times for NZ to consider this a gimme
It's an embarrassing state of affairs where playing a team ranked tenth isn't an opportunity for wholesale changes.

Scotland and Wales won't be too happy going into the end of the year, this year would have been a golden opportunity for them to beat us.
Lol Wales are dogshit and the Scots are mentally piss weak.

They’d have beaten the All Blacks by now if they actually played them more regularly. Look at what Argentina have managed.
But the last time they toured NZ I was 23 years old.
Wales might emulate 1953 if they play a bit more too

We only just held off the 10th ranked side last week, and we're not 100% sure if we are going to beat them this weekend.

18 months ago we didn't have a front row / scrum. Now we do. That's huge.
Vaai is sorting out the lineout. -

Bullshit. Betting odds are always a reasonable reflection, and the money line has it at about 40-20 to the All Blacks. Aussie haven't beat us here for yonks, it would be a massive surprise if they won.

This is going to sound really dumb, but in that RG game I loss we were way better than them they just scored more points. .

Yep. Freak game where we absolutely gifted them two tries... that second one with the two passes particularly was just so bizarre and swung the momentum.

I had the Creevy try (two passes out the back) and the Carreras try on half-time (The Reece tap back) don't remember us 'gifting' any others?

@gt12 agree mate, although it maybe fact, I can never accept where we lose a few tests in year as better than OK!
Not saying I don't understand the reality or anything, just how I always feel, any loss is not end of the world, but disappointing none the less.
One of reasons I don't go with the lets bring in all the young uns for the future, these are all still test matches!The results are disappointing because he keeps selecting the same underperforming players with the same results, and won't give form SR players a proper trial run. And undeserving Saders homeboys to bulk out the squad

I might just cut and paste this and put it in the Black Caps thread

Would have to go back and watch, but my gut feel was there was bullshit in the phases prior where we gave them possession and territory, not just in the phase that they scored in.
It's all gut feel, but in my opinion we allowed scoring chances for them, despite being so much the better team.
As I recall, we were better, they scored more points.
Am not surprised we smacked them by 40 the next game, because we were that much better.
But it does come down to who scored more. There's no style points.
