Cane has a lot of experience coming off the bench. I'd like to see Ardie get a start. I watched Cane, he was fairly anonymous.

Thats a good Chiefs team.

Chiefs by 20.

Nah, didn't deserve anything. The Irish played the conditions perfectly, with a good game plan. The baby Blacks need to realise sometimes you can't just chuck the ball around and win, especially in the wet. Irish forward pack monstered the Black pack.

Well done Ireland.

There are more scrums in the NH because the handling skills are poor, therefore more mistakes. No need for great technical propping skills if there are very few scrums. I can recall games with only one or two scrums in the whole half of a game. If a team makes few mistakes the few scrums there see ...

That puts to bed, once and for all, the filthy, 38 years of slander the Welsh have spewed about the ABs winning a pe...

Hammett must have pictures of quite a few people. Don't need this clown in NZ. I guess his ambition is to get the ABs job sometime in the future.

Good shot of Wheel conceding the penalty that cost Wales. Clearly has his hand on Olivers shoulder, which is what Quittendon gave the penalty for. Haden has obviously been shoved really hard.

Typical Welsh filth.

Soapy will start one of these games, prolly the 3rd test. Can't see BB getting a start at 10.

Its very noticeable that Gatland has been very quiet this week. Normally he's gobbing off about something. I guess he knows no one in NZ is going to swallow his BS.

Richard Burton.

Sam Cane will be under the spotlight....the shadow of the GOAT.....and Ardie straining at the leash. Good bit of pressure for him to experience.

Be good to see the 2 new caps get a run. Good on Shag for keeping the succession plan going.

Looking forward to the game...

Was thinking about this series this morning, and wondering how many players in this Welsh squad would be guaranteed starters in the All Black team? I know we've lost well over 1000 test caps since the last RWC but the All Black starting XV will still be very strong. TBH I don't know enough about th...

I'll be watching this with two English friends - what I'm looking for is enough respectability that I don't spend the rest of the day having the p*ss taken out of me...well, more than usual. Bookies have us about 9/1...we're not in great form, we're away and NZ rugby is in rude health. I think we c...

SBW has only started 3 or 4 tests at 12, and only against minnows. Not sure the'd want to risk him against the Boks, Wobs or France. Maybe a few against the likes of Italy till he learns the game properly.

obelixtim

He is playing 7s this year, how out of touch are you? When he drops that and concentrates on 15s, he is most likely to be the starting 12. That could change depending on how the other contenders fare through the June tests and TRC tests, with SBW back to the role he fulfilled so well when Nonu was ...

The difference may be that the ABs get a decent preparation this time, having no Soup games this weekend.

Foreman was doped by his own corner. Foreman was the greatest ever. Balls. Foreman punched himself out over 5 rounds while Ali rested on the ropes. It was hot as hell, and when Foreman had nothing left in the tank, Ali put him away. Thats why it was called "rope a dope". I think the ropes had been ...

Lost a bit of gloss with the Cavaliers though. I understand why he did it, but SA were pretty toxic back then.

How many of these posters didn't think SBW should have even made the RWC selection at the time ? Not many I would say. With the firepower they had anyway, they could afford the luxury of including him. Naholo was a luxury pick, SBW was always in the plan. I always thought he should be, particularly...

One of the original really hard men. Took no prisoners.

Even you must admit he's not the finished product yet. He's only started a few AB games at 12. Lots of things to learn and improve on...both in attack and defence. Kicking from hand. Combination with new centre üartner. Offloading. He will improve lots with an extended run over the next few years. ...

obelixtim

Its all down to the forward pack, and like the Wobblies, the Welsh pack hasn't been able to live with the ABs physicality for a long time.

With Smith and Cruden pulling the strings the AB backs should get plenty of prime attacking ball. Can the Welsh defence stop them?

Nice to have you back Douche Chill. :thumbup: Despite everyone's penchant for trying to wind you up I'm sure we are all looking forward to SBW concentrating on Rugby XV's for 3 years.

Chicago so far this year: 141 murders, 677 shootings. Says it all.....On a par with the Middle East. They need to have a war on guns. Middle East where? Baghdad.......Damascas. They prolly had fewer shootings. If you take all the shootings in the USA it would prolly be on a par with Syria or Iraq. ...

I must say the barrage of rhetoric from Vegans does get rather tiresome. They aren't going to get carnivores to stop eating meat by incessant beating of their drum.

These guys were out of line though. Vegans can do what they like.
