Well, that's good news that one Smith is out, and not for a harmful reason but a nice one.
Fekitoa won't bring a lot of joy to the Wobs but the Tahs contained him well enough—he has to be nabbed before he gets going.
And Nonu and he are similar players which means that the NZ midfield won't have the yin and yang that Ma'a and Conrad have.
There's not too many other straws to clutch onto.
I am concerned about the Aus back three as a unit: there is more to rugby than running with the ball in hand. This wet weather in Sydney would have the ABs kicking even more than they would because of the attributes of our 11 and 14—and I doubt their abiltity to play that game well.
If anybody is going by the stadium as the Kiwi bus arrives and they have a cricket bat in their hands at the time, try to give Ben Smith a couple of sweep shots to his knee caps before you are smashed by the front rowers.
That sounds like a plan.
