Hopefully Referee Owens will let both teams play this week unlike Rolland who was dreadful last week. I really fail to see why he is an IRB panel ref. every game tends to more about him than the players!

Oh no! No K.Beale. At least he can be useful off the bench. B.Barnes at 12 doesn't make sense. He is wobbly kind player and may not be able to belt SBW and Ma'aa Nonu. Unless R. Horne wakes up and plays his real game then the midfield will just collapse in defence. I don't know how useful will N.Sharpe be. R. Simmons is still better option. Great to have A. Baxter and finally my new best friend forever (BFF) M.Hooper gets a chance. I'm sure M. Hooper will shine but will it be enough to give Wallabies a win - maybe not, unless N.Sharpe can win my respect and play like J. Eales and not drop/ lose the ball every now and then like an amateur that he is.

This has just upped the ante. Can't stand the guy (QC) and he got what he deserved last year, but I really hope the Eden Park crowd just lets it drop now, and lets have a decent game. Can't help thinking of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic though. I think there is more improvement in the ABs rather than the Wallopies, it could be ugly!
