Holland and Clarke will play. Most of the guys haven't played a lot of footy, so I hope they get some game time and are not too rusty. Not sure if Ratima will start, he had a shocker last weekend.

I guess it doesn't make a difference that BB played in much better AB teams when he won all those games. And RMo didn't have Fozzie bringing him breakfast in bed on match days. Shag and Fozzie turned the 2015 wonder team into something less than their ability. 2017 Lions, 2019 RWC, initial and serie...

The press have been fellating BB since 2016. The reality he has done nothing outstanding. Also the world player of the year thing is just a wank. He has won when far better players have been ignored.

Ted thinks BB and DMac have a "better body of work" in black, than RMO. Its not even April 1st. If it's me you are talking about, explain your logic. I've never yelled at the TV when RMo played. Do it nearly every game BB plays. Haven't really done it with DMac either, he is generally pretty good w...

Onbe of the 23,000 emails suggested that Putin has a picture of Trump sucking "Bubba", Bubba beuing a well known nickname for William J Clinton.

Whats with all the background noise about Trump being a D*** sucker? Are there rumoured photos or something? There's also a clip of Rogan mentioning it, from 6/7 years ago.

Historically, Grand Slams have never been easy, and not just for the ABs.

I dunno, NZ weakened under Hansen at end, Foster didnt improve and Robertson seems to be at a similar level. Don't want to go all Man Utd changing coaches when potentially the cattle aren't most stellar. Foster managed to win all his rugby championships. Razor hasn't won a single thing. Results mat...

I put that loss squarely on the shoulders of BB.

Razor should expect his 10 to find touch from penalties.

obelixtim

I never want to see BB in a black jersey again. He constantly fucks things up. At 12 nil up, two penalties which would have put real heat on England with lineouts near their goal line were squandered with his failure to find the touchline. He did that last week as well. Most schoolboys would have na...

F’ck you BB!!!! Can forgive one, but two? He did exactly the same last week. Kicked a penalty dead. Plus another stupid chip kick on attack which England cleaned up and went back on attack. Ford got one of his droppies from that incursion. Razor must be spewing. RMo can't come back quickly enough.

I want the AB pack to take it up the guts. They always do well when they do that. Time for them to put in an 80 minute performance.

ABs by 15.

Beirne was just being a thug, deliberately trying to take out our first five. A pity he didn't do a decent job of it.

I don't want to see Rieko anywhere near the team, and ALB offers nothing either. I'd prefer BB was left right out, DMac at 10, or if BB has to be there, on the bench.

I think the ABs might just give the Scots a hiding this weekend. Time they put it all together.

I think there were a number of positives. The way we stayed in the contest early and then put a gassed Ireland away in the final quarter was impressive. Losing our captain and vice captain early through injuries and still winning was also a positive. I think Josh Lord showed that he is ready to ste...

I don’t care how many games he’s played for us but we need to blood in a new first five that compliments Roigards game. Because Beauden ain’t it. His best rugby is already behind him, he seems to have lost a lot of his youthful pace and his kicking is too erratic. In fact having no Barrett’s in the...

Bullshit they did. But yes, Razor needs to up his game.

I don't think I've ever moaned post-match after beating a good test team. But if you feel that false memories of me moaning after AB wins justifies the current pathetic comments by so-called AB fans, then fair enough :thumbup: The reality is that there is a huge group of North Island based AB fans ...

BBs kicking was again shit. Several dinky kicks that just gifted the ball back to Ireland, kicked a penalty dead, and missed touch with another. This crap he dishes up regularly is going to cost the ABs at least one close game. 4/10 I reckon. Should start DMac there next week against the Scots, seei...

BB kicking that penalty dead sums up his game. Piss poor. The ref was so picky for both teams, it ruined the game. Glad the ABs finally sorted their shit out in Q4. So many balls ups in the backline before that. You'd think they'd met in the tunnel just before the game. Ireland played quite well in ...

Jdogg is pumping Rieko Ioane. Its the end of days! :shock: I dont think describing him as someone who isn't a nailed on starter qualifies as pumping him, but whatever Trevor. You would hope he could at least do a job coming on late in a tight test match against quality opposition. Based on this yea...

I'm hugely looking forward to this tour. Partially because the games are at a good time for me, but also because how good are these tests? None of them will be easy. Obviously Ireland and England are really tough, but I can see a hardened Scottish team giving us all sorts of trouble. Even Wales if ...

Why so angry timmy? I have good reasons. I'm a bit pissed off that my British passport is basically worthless for living, travelling and working in the EU. Over the past 20 years I've spent a lot of time in Germany and Spain and toured most of the rest of it multiple times. Now its just a never end...

The only coherence from them, is the slightest negative action / event or Matt Lucas post = all brexits fault, but a $1 trillion gap created in a decade between 2 rather similar countries = nothing to do with Brexit. It’s all rather amusing watching them repeatedly shit in their own hands and then ...

It was tried in 1995 after the RWC in Africa. It fell over pretty quickly after the unions said the same thing. They had a lot of players signing letters of intent, but when a couple decided to stick with the establishment it went tits up. I think Jeff Wilson was one of the first to say no. Rugby we...

So, The EU puts 50% tariffs on British steel and other imports. Hows that wonderful Brexit working out, that was going to be so good for the UK. Goodbye to the British steel industry.

:uhoh: And if a team did that, that would be proof of a team that is chickenshit. They'd never live it down. The haka invites teams to bring their best. Wimping out is not really an option is it? But what if the team performing the haka show a total lack of spine in the match, like NZ in their last...
