Interesting body language… the questions about Telea were dealt with abruptly and fair enough I guess, it’s an internal issue that could be too distracting to give energy into. Foster has an air of the self righteous about him… we’ve prepared for a RWC semi all year and here we are sort of thing. I found Savea and Mo’unga to be a more illuminating pair really… focussed, humble and informed.

I think Ireland are a better unit across the park… but if anyone can smack their arses, the ABs can.

If Sexton and Beauden Barrett both suffer game ending injuries….
There we go. It's do it or go home

Guinness pre and during match. Stella to wind down afterwards.

With more gut certainty than blind hope, a stunner from the ABs and a big Fozzy grin to stuff it up the haters.

This could be absolutely epic, I hope the game lives up to everyone's expectations

I'm going Green by less than a score

Hopefully there are no injuries or cards. Hopefully it's a spectacle worthy of the occasion. Hopefully we go down all guns blazing.

Go, All Blacks!

Made the mistake of agreeing to being in a gaming round this morning, really don't remember agreeing to that. So will be taking a lot of "dunny breaks" as we attempt to speed run BOTW.

Not sure going to the kick immediately you get the penalty is a positive approach.

Yup. If he doesn't let them have their usual leeway at the breakdown, this is going to be an interesting game.

ABs so far offside there, some of them were deeper than Sexton.

There was a couple of rucks he was near and his jaws were going despite not hearing it over the mic.
