I may have thought about such a sentence after his first Bledisloe match coaching Oz, which we won in Sydney, but wrote instead that I wouldn't get on the band wagon until I saw consistency home and away.
Just as well.

Wales vs Aus game is being broadcast live on SBS (check the guide).
Can't find anything where the Baa Baas game is being telecast except Fox.
No legit streaming that I can find either.

That would be a good statement if McCalman being picked ahead of Dennis meant that McCalman was the better player. It's a little unfair on Dennis because he hasn't had the chances that McCalman has.

McCalman got picked for the wallabies while competing with 3 other wallaby backrowers for a spot in the force line up. He hasn't yet showed that he can hold his spot on performances in Gold. Dennis on the other hand wasnt able to nail down a starting spot with the tahs even with Palu out for most of the last couple of seasons. Up till now I think McCalman has been picked ahead of Dennis by out performing him.
I don't know it it's right or wrong, but considering the way Dennis finished the Super season when both Palu and Mowen were hurt, I would certainly like to see how he copes. I've got the feeling that Hickey and Foley thought he did that well that they could afford to let Mowen go regardless of the length of contract that Mowen or the Tahs wanted.
Seeing how he plays in a Wallabies game against test players, though it's not in a test match, is the perfect gig for him.
We could be saying after the game that he was a dud, but you never know: he could be an accidental hero. More likely he will be something in between, but whatever, at least we will get a chance to assess him in a more meaningful way.
And ditto for JOC (James O'Connor) at 10.
Dennis had the best stats of all the potential sixes at the end of the super comp

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gets yellow carded for a deliberate knock on & Baa Baa peg it back to 3-all.
Around 19min in Mortlock pulls off a big hit on Pocock. Quite inpressive although the pass above Pococks head made him an easy target.
O'Connor gets a drop goal 3-6 to Australia. 21min in.
22min in Tomkins gets hammered.
23min in approx AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) back out there.
Digby in with a try. Aus 13 BaaBaas 3.
Barnes copped a big knock to the back of the neck on the deck after taking a high ball - & he's up & running.
Slipper is going to the bin for 10 after a late hit on Cipriani.
31min in Pocock on the ground gettting treatment, Mortlock being attended to also but looks ok.
Ohhh we nearly were in there, great run & pass from Alexander but O'Connor did a forward pass I believe & it was called back.
36min in, the final pass is our issue here we have been bombing a few seemingly certain tries (Barnes has gone off looking a big shaky not sure if its a concussion though he was hobbling so may not be a head injury).
On HT Turner goes in for a try in the corner, Baa Baas paying for not putting the ball in touch on 40min.

Without a look at the rule book, I always thought you could only start to charge after the kicker took his first step?
