Well he does have "indefinite leave to remain from marriage." I know how I'm going to interpret that sentence...

It does sound like a euphemism for "fuck off and don't come back".

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck the Irish, let's get the frogs.

France will be tough, tougher than the Irish I suspect. Hope the ABs are up for it.

[KiwiMurph]

@nostrildamus 8 day turnaround might help

We are building each week. I expect significant improvement, win or lose

[Bovidae]

Darry gone and Cane in doubt for France. We could see Savea at 7.

Replacements to come from the AB XV. Holland?

Yes he is

[Machpants]

It will probably be lord or IWL tho, I reckon

[Bovidae]

Lord is already in the AB squad. I doubt whoever gets the call-up will play against Italy. Cover and tackle bag holder.

Yup. Unless one of the top 3 get scratched midweek Darry's loss makes no difference

[Canes4life]

@canefan it’s more for the Italy game as I doubt Barrett or even Va’ai will be involved in that match.

Fair call. A shame for Darry more than anything. Judging from what Argentina did to them, Italy won't present much resistance. Lord will have a chance to push his claims

Hi does anyone have any info please. UK / EU travel requirements are changing apparently.
Live in UK indefinite leave to remain from marriage. Have NZ passport only with sticker in it.
Travelling to France for Paris test. What do I need?

If you can’t get back to the UK, head to the beach in Calais.

I’m sure there is a small boat you could jump in and you will be back in Blighty in a few hours

[nzzp]

I'm quietly stoked by the wins over the last two weeks. England we were favourites, but damn we outperformed against Ireland.

We won't know for 6-9 months if that was a statement win or not. I hope it was, but that Irish side wasn't what they have put out previously. France will be another good barometer this weekend - if we win there I think we go to number 1 or very close to it ... which would be a very nice way to finish the year.

Fihaki was so underwhelming again against Georgia.

Worst outside back in the squad. Even Tupaea is better

[Billy Tell]

Regardless of people’s feelings on Fihaki the big story is Holland. Getting closer and closer to being an AB. There has got to be a Netflix drama in there somewhere.
