All Blacks vs Ireland
-
Tbh it’s been a very very long time (probably since the Wallabies of 2010-2011) where I’ve had such an overwhelming desire to see the ABs take the opposition players heads off
-
Watching highlights of that quarter final again and New Zealand players scored some great tries. Lester, Bundee, Ardie, Jameson, Will.
We know what Ireland will bring but on paper their bench seems lacking impact imo. Healy was world class back in the day. He’s now 37 and there because no one else has really stepped up.

That's pretty aggressive questioning. -

@KiwiInLondon Man I’m sooo hoping we see a 2004 France-esq performance; I honestly think we’re building into it. Would be great to see a bunch of the newer guys step up and own it on the ultimate stage.

I was at that game. Magnifique
From the Guardian:
"The New Zealand front five more than matched their French counterparts, leaving the All Black back row of Richie McCaw, Jerry Collins and Rodney So'oialo to run riot. The celebrated French trio of Olivier Magne, Serge Betsen and Imanol Harinordoquy were utterly eclipsed and overpowered."Wow.

Dublin City is wedged with chippy Karmeichel Hunts with bad dental work.
Atmosphere on baggot street can only be described as a cross between after work C-Suite charlatans and middle class febrile inferiority personified.
They will sing during our haka. They will boo from the (not so) cheap seats.
But I will endeavour to kiss one of their women and never call her back after tomorrow.

I can feel a Cam Roigard cameo in my waters.
Let the boy cook with 30 to go.
I'm expecting all our young guns to have big showings - Williams, Aumua, Sititi, Ratima, Clarke, Jordan, Tosi, Roigard. This will be the game folks will point to in three years and say, 'That's where it all began, that's when the All Blacks really unveiled their next generation talent to the world.'

Betting odds are solidly towards Ireland. My completely irrelevant "vibe" is that it should be closer.
@Tim
I can't believe those odds
This AB team is on the cusp of something good. -

Can we pin this to the top of every thread for ever?
