Bugger all tickets left for Wellington too.First Test All Blacks vs Ireland at Eden Park is already sold out.
Think he’s just referring to Leinster’s recent string of losses (and Ulster’s).Have the Irish team played in last month? I missed it mate. But I will be bloody happy if we win series 2-1. But very doubtful Foster will get dumped a year out from WC anyway. Irish are pretty good team, and I doubt whether they will be anything but in top form when they get here, they got too much to gain from it with WC next year not to.
Think Nock and Hicks were pencilled in earlier WOB, read somewhere, and some of it was fitness question? Do like Grace being in there.
Yep I hope Sam is good as (pretty confident he will be), but Retallick and Barret would still be a bloody good locking pair I reckon as I thought Barrett was close to Sam W as MOTM in final and has been bloody good form all year.The latest news is that Sam Whitelock's thumb isn't right. According to AFP, he actually played the final even though the thumb was still broken. If so, that's an amazing effort.
If Sam, probably our form lock atm isn't ready, then it will prob be Brodie and Scott. Compared to say the front row (no chance; the irish have a terrific front row starting or reserve) or back row (much tighter), the locks are definitely an area where the ABs will look to get an edge in.
