That's a big loss for Ireland. Shame this isn't a quarter final.
What will Ireland do for the Haka?
I'd like to see them all lift their jerseys, revealing t-shirts with Sexton's face on it. Then Sexton bursts through the tunnel onto the field doing the Riverdance, topless. He advances to the middle of the field and gets in front of Ioane and faces him off. They kiss. The game starts.

The keewees should end the haka with a ceremonial pen drop at the feet of POM.

They should get a room. Don't understand the NH haka critics.assfly wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 7:03 am What will Ireland do for the Haka?

I genuinely fear for the All Blacks in this fixture. I expected us to lose to England, then get pumped horrifically by Ireland, run off the park by France before beating Italy.
The England surprise aside, we are so screwed for Friday.

I don't agree. That last minute win will be a huge confidence boost for the All Blacks. Their backline look very good and the forwards won't back down.ScarfaceClaw wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 4:50 pmI genuinely fear for the All Blacks in this fixture.

Defense for both sides will be critical.
All Blacks by 6.

Interesting to see Beirne in the backrow.
Good to see Henderson back.
Is Baird injured?

This is the second time you’ve said this. No one else on Earth agrees with you. This AB backline is garbage.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 6:03 pm That last minute win will be a huge confidence boost for the All Blacks. Their backline look very good

The pack looks decent though and I think the big pack Ireland have selected is a measure of how Farrell rates the keewees.Sandstorm wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:32 pmThis is the second time you’ve said this.

Agree. The poor sod's being forced into a role he's simply not capable of playing. The trouble is, unless Mo'unga's bought back from Japan in chains, there isn't anybody else.
This is the consequence of years of Foster infatuation with BB.

I think you know vokol about the All Blacks. The English backline defense were opened up nicely and yes there was still a bit of Felix Jones tactics left there.Sandstorm wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:32 pmThis is the second time you’ve said this.

I meant as a unit. Yes, Tele'a scored a lovely individual try & Jordan is great on a counter-attack, but BB and D-Mac are not making the 10-12-13 axis function properly. So as a backline, they're rubbish at the moment.Certain Navigator wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2024 5:46 amWell, apart from Jordan and Talea.Sandstorm wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:32 pmThis is the second time you’ve said this.

Fuckety fuck! I've agreed to go to a quiz night on Friday evening not realising this was on then!! Fuckety fuck.
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
They can't possibly drop and fumble the ball as much this week, so if most of it sticks they are in with a decent chance.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 6:03 pmI don't agree.

“It was a pet, not an animal. It had a name, you don't eat things with names, this is horrific!”
So the blame can be put at the feet of the English ball carriers then, shame England shame
