Ian PaytenHOST
if
Michael AtkinsonHOST
it does happen i never said that yeah i can't see it happening either and i would much prefer i think at this stage to see a fully fit and consistently on the park carter gordon tom liner ben doldson etc exactly but declan meredith stranger things have happened yep Declan Meredith.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
We could bring back Noel Alessio.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
Yeah, well, there's a question in Mailbag about him, so we'll get to that a little bit later on.
22 MINS LATER
Ian PaytenHOST
So I suspect he'll be back online.
Ian PaytenHOST
It's an interesting one because...
Ian PaytenHOST
How many times have we been in this position where you've got Carter coming back from injury or someone else coming back from injury? Declan Meredith played fine in Sydney.
Ian PaytenHOST
He got a good review.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So then Ben Donaldson's obviously carrying a leg injury.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So Declan Meredith, you know, he could be the last man standing.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So there is a more settled element to it.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
But again, there's a
28 MINS LATER
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
And then he obviously came back to play for the First Nations Pacific against the Lions.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So, I mean, listen, he's been in short form.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
And for me, I actually think with the likes of Declan Meredith, I've been a big advocate for just having that senior voice.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
Or even I know from someone like James O'Connor, he's just an absolute student.
Mat RogersHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Mat RogersHOST
We've gone through Carter Gordon, Ben Donaldson, Declan Meredith and McLaughlin Phillips in the 10 jersey.
Mat RogersHOST
That 10 jersey, that's your number seven in the league.
Mat RogersHOST
Yeah.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Get advantage.
Nigel YaldenHOST
Declan Meredith, it's just good strength.
Nigel YaldenHOST
He actually had a good game.
Nigel YaldenHOST
He had a couple of wee things that he'll want back.
10 MINS LATER
Nigel YaldenHOST
Probably more Barrett.
Nigel YaldenHOST
There's a really nice play by the Wallabies.
Nigel YaldenHOST
This is the situation where Declan Meredith actually gets over.
Nigel YaldenHOST
It's a wonderful break.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
Like, I get the building depth, and I asked Les about this on the panel post-game on the weekend.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
Like, when do you start to favour winning tests? Because he said something like, we're talking about Declan Meredith, for instance, and he said, you know, what these games are for
Sam WorthingtonGUEST
is trying to build depth, etc., That struck a nerve with me and some others, yeah.
Sam WorthingtonGUEST
I don't think he meant it like that, but sorry.
Matt GiteauHOST
Then next time when they get that opportunity, it might just shift a little bit because there are some players that are just getting test experience this year that don't know – like you don't know what you don't know.
Matt GiteauHOST
Now Declan's faced a full 80 minutes.
Matt GiteauHOST
He understands what's required, the intensity, how to play.
Matt GiteauHOST
I would have liked to see him be more aggressive and confident at the start of the game, but you can't just fake confidence.
19 MINS LATER
James RochfordHOST
You need to pick me the moment in that Wallabies, All Blacks, Bledisloe clash that was the energy that matters moment.
James RochfordHOST
Giddy?
Matt GiteauHOST
Okay, well, if we're going to go on field, There was one effort which I touched upon on our post-show game with Declan Meredith.
Matt GiteauHOST
He made a huge, big line break, you know, around 60 metres it could have been.
Ryan WilsonHOST
Oh, God, I don't even know the goddamn storyline.
Ryan WilsonHOST
What is it? It's like, um, Declan Meredith, he started the second test.
Marc EdwardsHOST
Yeah.
Ryan WilsonHOST
And now, um-
Ryan WilsonHOST
L- Liner's floating around, who I thought was the guy after that Reds run with Les Kiss as well, and he's a very good player.
Ryan WilsonHOST
And then you've got Harry McLof- McLoughlin, Philip, who's sort of the next guy.
Ryan WilsonHOST
Mate, Declan Meredith looks jacked, by the way, for a 10.
Ryan WilsonHOST
Voice of back row.
PiercyHOST
Give him some game time on the saddle.
PiercyHOST
They did the opposite, and they kept Declan Meredith on.
PiercyHOST
And I think it turned out to be a good decision because I think it gave him a chance to take a deep breath, reset, and his second half was actually
Rob McKayHOST
really good.
Rob McKayHOST
And I was really glad they stuck with him.
Rob McKayHOST
We as Australians have been very, very flighty with our selections on our 10.
Rob McKayHOST
And Declan Meredith, he was a slow starter with the Brumbies this year, but when he found his feet, he was really good.
Rob McKayHOST
And I think he's the type of player that does need a little bit of time in the saddle to get it right.
Sean MaloneyHOST
Those run of tries make it 22-0.
Sean MaloneyHOST
But then the Wallabies finally get on the board after some terrific lead-up work and a handy little try assist from the rookie number 10, Declan Meredith as well.
Sean MaloneyHOST
but just gave us a little glimmer, a little bit of hope, Morgz.
Morgan TurinuiHOST
That was a little bit about what's worked in this match for both teams.
7 MINS LATER
Michael HooperGUEST
And the Wallabies just weren't able to build that in the first half.
Michael HooperGUEST
So really nice to see the Wallabies here in the second half do that through Max Jorgensen initially and finished off by Tommy Wright.
Sean MaloneyHOST
There was some great handling as the game went on from the Wallabies, and I still, three days later, can't work out how Declan Meredith, our man, our number 10, did not score this try after the lead-up work.
Sean MaloneyHOST
It's one of the all-time try-savers in the end from Cam Roygard, but the build-up was so pure.
Sam BruceHOST
At the break, Wallaby's got on the board through Jeremy Williams.
Sam BruceHOST
Great little ball from Declan Meredith, who we'll come to shortly.
Sam BruceHOST
But then Williams, obviously earlier as well, following that rather, gets sin bin for some lazy running.
Sam BruceHOST
The other moment I want to talk about, Christy, from that first half of Wallaby's attack, Fraser McWright gets held up under the sticks.
Sam BruceHOST
referee.
Christy DoranHOST
It was more than 40 minutes of ball and play time there.
Christy DoranHOST
I thought he probably, you know, you compare him to Andrew Brace a week earlier, and Andrew Brace is pretty whistle happy, and Luke Pearce just wanted to put the whistle away all afternoon, didn't he? And there was a couple of moments there later in the second half where Dunguna and Canem got pinged for a couple of infringements but he really let both sides get away with a lot there didn't want to pull up much at the breakdown it was an enjoyable game to watch and he did a great job in that second half with Declan Meredith and maybe it's a good time just to talk about Declan Meredith but You know, his game, because he had so much pressure coming into the game.
Christy DoranHOST
But even in the first half, there were signs that he was testing the All Blacks defensive line.
