Just popped in to my local Uncle Dan's to buy some drinks for drinking this afternoon and evening (going to fire up the fire pit and so forth before the game) and decided to wear my brand new Wallaby supporter jersey ($45 Best and Less version). As I walked down an aisle, some bloke yelled out "Les...

Weather seems to still be making it's mind up. Bit of Blue sky about, but also a bit of rain. At least the wind has died down. It's looking pretty good now, touch wood..... 19-20 k breeze, which is nothing really, except it will be knots at the Cake Tin and coming from all over the place like a mad...

Private health insurance in Aussie is not a total scam.

The annual registration fee for a car in Australia is entirely reasonable.

This AUNZ side will throw it around because they’ve barely had a training session let alone know each others names. Therefore I expect plenty of dropped balls and 20m passes intercepted and the Lions winning 54-17. However, I could be wrong. Yeah would be interesting, there's guys potentially using...

Who do AB fans consider the better SH, Smith or Marshall? And how big is the gap? Assuming it’s Smith Very different styles. Marshall was a bigger athlete and a dangerous runner, while Smith was a smaller faster type with a bullet pass. I'd take Smith for that elite service, even if I didn't much r...

There's still a good balance to the back three, I don't think we're losing too much. Narawa is a more than capable player.

Well on the other side of the ledger we have a 7 ... who is really an 8.

jdogscoop

Tough one to call this.

If the AUNZ team have been on the piss all week and have zero fvcks to give, they'll get battered.

If they have chips on their shoulders and are keen to rip into it, they might only lose by 10.

The local GP comes across as a complete wrong un.

Good side and exciting to see Timoci in the mix.

I think some posters are just looking for any reason to have a good old moan.

Nice one Razor.

If that's what you call a 18 point loss then honestly I don't want to hear what you wanted the Wellish, Irish and the Scots to admit to after their 6ns games against you :lol: Italy in the 6Ns: beat Wales by 7 lost to Ireland by 5 lost to Scots by 12 Cut it short, a try after 20 meters maul against...

Top game of code that.

Geez that Fijian try was sensational.

I presume so. You may be taking my comments a little too literally though. Note the rest of my post.

Oh well we chalked up a win against France.

Not our fault it wasn't their best team.

You can only play what's in front of you.

Proctor’s not the answer at 13. We all agree that Rieko Ioane has been a great servant of New Zealand rugby as a midfield defensive stalwart. But if we’re definitely moving on from the Ioane era, is turning Quinn Tupaea into a centre the answer, perhaps? So Ioane got 5 years to prove he isn't a cen...

Blues fans salty AF.

I'd sack Ioane off altogether. Shit attitude and increasingly shit player.

jdogscoop

Proctor was a lightweight out there. Even blew his own try! One or two regulation passes as part of moves isn’t anything to hail the great shite hope. Tupaea was far more assured at centre and he’s not even a centre. I believe if they’re going to go for kick kickity box kicks in the first 20 minute...

I don't rate Savea as a 7 and I never have. The ABs are always poorer for it when they make the mistake of picking him there. We lack a fetcher and while he's a hell of a ball runner, that isn't what the jersey calls for.

jdogscoop

Back line was poor as was the support play. It certainly looked poor when Mckenzie, Proctor and Ioane were involved. BB isn't my first choice #10 but I'm struggling to see the rationale for Razor dropping him. Why would you even think of dropping him. He won the game for the All Blacks. Nailed all ...

jdogscoop

I think it's time for Rieko to be dropped.

Not my AB squad member.

Well done and hard luck France. The ABs have a lot of work to do. The aimless kicking is still there. Our backs are not working. Too many playmakers trying to be stars cluttering up the moves and ruining flow. Sort that horrible shit out. France, what can you say, it's France, they were written off...

He's not a 7s ringpiece. We are a poorer side with Savea at 7. Ok, who at 7? Jdog enjoys being wrong about rugby. Robertson is another one in the long line of people who disagree with him and play Beauden at 10. 6. Finau 7. Savea 8 Sititi Will be fine when they are fit. If you dont believe my posts...
