Would the same team this week, if they were heading to Dunedin, beat New Zealand and Dunedin?
I don't know.
I think they'd definitely improve on some of the errors, but they're not at the level of New Zealand, South Africa and France.
They're just more depth, more options, more pace, more athleticism in a sense of that X factor, game breakers and stuff like that.
Tommy O'Brien is a loss.
Balikun coming back into the team, it makes a huge difference in a sense of that speed.
He probably didn't get the ball enough.
But if you had Tommy O'Brien on the other wing, I think it gives you a real focal point when you go to width that you have pace.
If you can stay in games and you have players that can pop up and do something special, and O'Brien and Balakum did that, obviously James Lowe is gone, Mack Hansen will come back into the mix.
But yeah, we have problems and the depth chart isn't the same as some of the others.
But look, I think it's admirable.
I think they've played 19 tests since the start of the Six Nations last year in 2025.
They've won 14, lost five.
The five they've lost is to France twice.
New Zealand twice, and South Africa.
So that tells its own story, and that is the reality.
But Australia have won, I think they've won six or seven games in their last 17.
So they have a lot of losses.
Scotland have a few losses, and their Wales have been on a dreadful run.
They should be hard on themselves and should be critical of some of the stuff that happened on Saturday.
