Bledisloe # 3 - Saturday 31st October, ANZ Stadium

Looks like they are going for an attacking forwards bench (besides simmons). Would have thought they would put Slipper on for the 2nd hf instead of Sio if that is the case. McReight is a very good ball runner and link player. Finishing with a backrow of Hoops, McReight and Wilson will have plenty of attacking intent and a good turnover presence. Shit L/O though.

I'm hoping players like Loleiso, McDermott, Simone and McReight catch them a bit off guard.

Very worried if 10 goes down then we are hoping DHP doesn't have an old man injury.

Suspect we'd then be 10. Hodge 12. Simone 13. Paisami 14. Daugunu 15. Petaia (or the other way around the last couple) I'd be OK with that for 20 minutes, not 50 though!

Do the refs not have to also be in a bubble ?

Nic Berry reffed the QPR major semi a couple of Sundays ago.

Yeah, you'd imagine he'd be added to the bubble so he can return to QLD without quarantining just as NZ and Aus will do when they play in Brisbane next week.

They've already announced the refs for all of the Tri Nations games.

Berry has Bledisloe 4.

Got my wish on mcreight selected.

Noah and Irae - hmmm - bit risky having two debutants in key 10-12. The starting and bench backs feel more for the future then now.

Hard for me to feel this is a winning side especially with so many changes in backline. But I understand reasons for selections and no complaints.

Yeah Paisami on the bench over Harrison is asking for trouble.

However, to answer your question, it would be Simone to 10. Then either Hodge, Paisami or Petaia into 12.
