I reckon Pone is going to have a belter tomorrow. Running of Carter's hip he's going to run over McKenzie.

Also, is McKenzie sporting a mullet at the moment? Is this mulletbowl?

Looks to have had a tidy up - Carter easily wins the battle for filthiest mullet. If only Tate still had his

I hope I am wrong but I think the ABs will run away with this game. Similar to last week, I think the Wallabies might look like they are keeping up for 20mins but could be a blow out score-line.

 

[Tomthumb]

A full strenght among available players. NZ lost Angus Ta’avao, Ethan Blackadder, Patrick Tuipulotu, Sevu Reece, TJ Perenara, etc etc

It's a full strenght WBs IMO

Hahahaha what a loss

Hopefully we get that 20 mins in both halves, but my head agrees with you.

Bet365 is paying $11.00 if Aussies win or a tie.
Worth a dabble for me. Especially when I discovered I had $25 lying in the account for the last two years I'd forgotten about.

Did you get any interest on that investment?

His first job is to perform in the scrum.

 

[wamberal]

Or they could pick Ryan Lonergan or they could pick Ian Prior or Reece Hodge or any number of players.

Fact is, they haven't. The question was around what happens if Gordon's kicking goes tits up.

Gordon seems to have a good temperament. What happens is he keeps kicking (the kicking coach a.k.a. water boy can tell him what he is doing wrong).

 

[Marce]

Hahahaha what a loss

Yeah, I know him pretty well. He played for Tahs. Despite him, Ethan Blackadder, Patrick Tuipulotu, Sevu Reece and TJ Perenara would be starters in WBs squad

 

[Linerunner2023]

Nz have an embarrassment or riches
Below injured list
Quinn teupua
Tj Perenara
Angus taavaou
Sevu reece
George bower
Joe moody
Cullen grace
Pat tuipulotu
Ethan Blackadder
David havili

and not selected in 37 man squad and in all black 15 only
Ross, aumua, Akita ioane, sotutu, Webber, fakatava, goodhue
Of these guys would be around wallabies somewhere

Congrats on knowing him, doesn't change the fact he wouldn't make the AB's 6th team

always amused that someone who has played 20 odd games as an all black prop can be described as average

 

[Rugby Head]

Who decided it was a good idea to play the test at midday?

There's a FIFA World Cup round of 16 match in Auckland at 3pm AEST and one in Wellington at 6pm AEST.

 

[Equalizer]

The AB's will sound out the Wallabies for the first 30 minutes. Just like Ali with his rope a dope tactic....show us what you've got and then we'll drop the hammer on you in the second half. We've seen it before and there's no reason to think it won't happen again.

He was average for the Tahs.

 

[fatprop]

He was average for the Tahs.

More a reflection on the Tahs than him IMHO, he wasn't crap and there are no crap players with 20 plus caps from a top tier nation

 

[Marce]

Yeah and what about the other players I named? 5 from 6 is a pretty good number for me

 

[Marce]

He was average for the Tahs.

Absolutely and then he was astonishing for Chiefs and earned the right to play for the ABs.
