[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 913376, member: 70552"] This one being at Eden Park I don’t see Wallabies having a chance. Not with Pooper and lack of balance in the pack. I really don’t like the Pooper any more and this just gives Wallabies a numerical disadvantage at the line out with just 3 jumpers. Not much has improved since the RWC final. I think also they’ve lacked a ball carrying number 8 since Palu retired. Not seen enough of Timu but maybe he could come in at 8. Simmons to come in for one of the locks to call the lineout. But that doesn’t answer the throwing in by TPN or Latu. Who was the hooker who played all 3 tests v Ireland? Cheika seems to have his favourites from his days at the Tahs whom he just won’t drop like Hooper who was blowing after 50 mins in the first test and seems undroppable as he is captain. I think Foley is also problem at 10 and as long as he’s there along with no go forward ball the Wallabies will continue to struggle v ABs. For ABs Will be interesting to see who comes in for Reiko? Back to Jordie to 15 and Smith to right wing? Or maybe NMS to right wing and shift Naholo to left wing. Laumape to come and cover 23 shirt. Otherwise ABs don’t need many changes. [/QUOTE]
