All Blacks & All Blacks XV Tours 2022

[Dan54]

Pretty hard to argue with that team WOB, would be about best available, I would of maybe started Samisoni, but can understand not hammering him by starting every week, some tough games coming up.

 

[zer0]

Codie Taylor lmao.

 

[KiwiM]

Really pleased to see Jordie given another crack at 12.

Wow, I thought we were bad bringing back Foley but some of those Welsh players will be on zimmer frames by the world cup.

Have to say I pleased to see Weber in 23, Christie doesn't convince me as yet.

I've liked what Christie has brought off of the bench - but he was poor when starting last week - a very different role - and a bit of a worry. Pleased that Weber is ahead of Perenara.

Yep so why I like Weber, will handle whole game better if he called on early hopefully.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Jordan's inner ear infection hasn't cleared up so he won't be heading North. No mention of a replacement, presumably they'll just draft someone in from ABXV if needed.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Anyone watching ABXV v Ireland A? No live updates on stuff, hurld or newshub which is pretty shit, really & owner still won't let us have sky at work...

Edit: found a live stream which may even be legit & that I don't have to sub to.

 

[Dan54]

Yep of course I watching it WOB. 19-7 to AB XV, couple of tries to Stevenson and a maul try to McAllister.

 

[Dan54]

Luke Jacobson in bin, at moment, been a pretty good game for one of these type of games. DMac has gone well in first 40, and I have to say I think Dom gardiner done a bit of good stuff too, just a few nice little things.

 

[Dan54]

31-7 after 54 minutes, another lovely try. Conv 33-7

 

[Dan54]

33-12

 

[Dan54]

38-12 Try to Lam Time for some more subs I think. RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) off for Nankivell
40-12 DMac kicking well

 

[Dan54]

All subs on. Roigard on, Josh Ioane, DMac to 15, and Lio-Willie on as well as Thompson at hooker

 

[Dan54]

47-19 fulltime, good game. Commentators named DMac as TMOTM, he went well, plenty did. I now officially getting on the Dom Gardiner wagon and will be watching that boy closely next year or 2 pretty bloody good game I thought

[Dan54]

Well pretty convincing 55-26 and so ABs went ok, with plenty to work on. But bloody women, after watching that test last night I struggled to really get into this one. I not sure if the Welsh would be very happy with their team, seemed to fade a bit.
And the prop that brought that dummy of Ardie?? I got a bridge in Sydney to sell him!
\And congrats to Barnes on reffing most tests.
