Tri Nations Game 3 New Zealand v Australia - Saturday 6 August 2011 - 3N2011

[Stands]

Will this be free to air in Sydney?

 

[#1 Tah]

probably not.

 

[DPK]

Why not? What's the clash?

Why not? What's the clash?

Its been a while since channel 9 showed Dolly Parton's classic "9 to 5" so that might get a run and the Wallaby game can be shown at 1:45am the following day.

 

[barbarian]

It will be live on Ch9 as always.

Yeah. Although I think we're overdue for the Graham Kennedy special again.

 

[barbarian]

Surely there is another 'best of Hey Hey it's Saturday' in the pipeline...

Or they could really stick it to their rugby audience by showing 20-to-1 best league tries....

20-to-1 'Funniest Footy Show Moments', with an ironclad guarantee that each moment will include either a dick joke, a fart joke or a racist/homophobic statement of some kind.

Or a mungo in drag.

 

[Set piece magic]

back to the game... Time for wallabies to win bledisloe imo. I reckon All Blacks could be in for a huge shock if it's dry... Aus's backline will be fresh and eager, all the forwards playing, a week off, the peak year. Call It bold but I think It's going to be like 2003 where tbh I can see us ripping them up in game one at eden park, and us just getting home at suncorp like they did 8 years ago. gimme gimme bledisloe cup

 

[Gnostic]

What likelyhood that it will be dry for both games? East coast Oz has been just a little damp this year and NZ is under snow ATM.

 

[Fredfreduels]

So any team predictions?

Unless the Aussies get some injuries/ illness during training camp then it should be the same 22 as last Saturday.

No idea on the AB's but they'll pick a different 22 for the Boks & Aussies. Henry usually mixes things up even if it is just 1 or 2 slight tweaks.

 

[Groucho]

I'm guessing the Wallabies run-on side will be unchanged. If they're available, we should see Burgess, Nau and Palu on the bench. Much more impactful.

Brissy has been picture perfect the last 4 weeks. touch wood

 

[Viking]

For team predictions Im hoping Samo will get a start ahead of McCalman. Not that McCalman has done badly, he has done okay! But I rate Samo pretty highly and think he deserves a shot after an outstanding super 15 season.

Curious to see how our scrum will hold up.

 

[Bon]

I think you blokes are looking good this year and are odds on favourites to have a turn with Lord Bledisloe. As for Bill,I think it's too early to predict and in a knockout tournament all bets are off until kickoff.

Off topic: as a 'new' Brisbanite, I'm stunned by how nice it is here in winter.
