Impressed with Kremer and Matiu. They played very well. Pity about Pablo, but Isa is a pretty good replacement.

Well, its quite simple.

The AB pack has to pulverise the Irish pack.

Easy Peasy.

I'd like the NPC and Ranfurly shield back as the top attractions. And the ABs playing for their home unions. None of this "resting" bullshit.

I can already see the post-match imagery when we lose to Ireland in the QF. Sam Cane will be pulling his angry, idiotic hard-man face that he always pulls when teams he captain's lose. Ian Foster will pull his gormless, low-energy, 'well what did you expect' face in the coach's box and Beauden Barr...

If Fozzie lets that get to him, it just reinforces everything we've been saying for the past 4 years.

Great news that Fainganuku has been selected as midfield backup. He has obviously been accumulating minutes on the training paddock so hopefully can slide in fairly well when/if called upon. It does appear the pieces are falling the right way here, fully fit squad, some good form, fairly experience...

Severely underated sporting legend along with David Bolstad who also died very young. Something about wood sports as both their fathers were gone early.

Portugal with a few slices of luck/things going their way at crucial moments could have won that. Seems ridiculous given the scoreline but the scoreline doesn’t reflect the match in this instance. The Portugese centre screwed things up lots of times. He should have been hooked. They couldn't finish...

Mocker Gods are going to take umbrage at fans talking Ireland down.

The Irish have yet to play their injury card. It will happen.

Not yet. This marathon has another 380 metres to run around the stadium yet, so there is still a bit of distance to go.

It will close when he is gooooonnneeee.

Was a bit worried that Carley would ruin the match with pedantic refereeing, but he actually put his whistle in his pocket and let the players play.

He must have got a rark up after his performance in Wales - Fiji.

Expected Italy to be better, but they were shell shocked by that onslaught.

obelixtim

I'm outraged.

Failed spectacularly to crack the ton, pathetic.

And RMo missed that conversion.

The Boks threw that game in SA last year to keep Fozzie in his job. And it worked.

The bastards.....

One of the benefits of being a world class sporting superstar , is surely the fanny queuing up to ride your beast.

She has nothing to do with his AB legacy.

The doco will probably include footage of games, and interviews with his ex team mates and opponents. None of which she has anything to do with.

Precautionary bump, just in case we need it.

He has actually named a half decent team for this next game.

But with Fozzie, you never know whats going to happen next.

Another first????

Not an awful team. Would have preferred Williams to start and Taukei'aho somewhere in the mix. Carley FFS! x( Penalty and card merchant. The boys need to be extra careful with their discipline.

Absolutely the worst ref in the competition. Anyone would be better.
