some idiot has decided to put it on the same time as the AFL grand final.
That's irrelevant to a NZ audience.
Some idiot has decided to play the Perth test at 10:45 pm NZT.
My neighbour who I get on with said yesterday I’m having people over for the grand final , you coming .
I said love to mate but the Allblacks are playing at the same time and my team isn’t in the grand final ,
He looked confused and said , But it’s the grand final ,
"But it's the All Blacks, not two suburbs from Victoria"
Brisbane are in it too …. but they are still Fitzroy in Melbourne, so yeah
They get bigger crowds than rugby. 60K at Marvel or 100K at the G for a regular season game is crazy
What else is there to do in Melbourne? Attend a protest, get macheted? At least attending a sporting fixture you're reducing the odds of being present during a home invasion.

Obviously cocaine hasn't stuffed him up too much.
1 test try apparently. So either not such a fan of the white line or needs to go to specsavers.

Owen Franks would be appalled.

Not that far back surely. The one in SA when it was do or die time for Fozzie was the most compelling since then. Or any of the games vs Ireland. Most interesting Bledisloe for a long, long time though.
Yep
Thought we had to make significant changes after 2015.
2015 was clearly the last hurragh for that style of play; going back as far 1995.
Successive coaches have tried to stick with a style of play that has become more and more ineffective against the serious opposition. Kind of a boring and predictable watch.
The "aura" has just been slowly slipping, slipping, slipping . . .Hansen was Henry II (which was ok), and Foster was just Henry III (which was not ok), and Robertson is starting to look like Henry IV (which is very much not ok!)
What we need now is something like Henry I !
When Henry came in after Mitchell he had carte blanche.
We've been needing some carte blanche since 2015, and we might get it tomorrow.
And if we lose, then we'll definitely get it. -

Franks' world record is safe.

@ACT-Crusader given our DNA has always been heads up, click counter attack rugby and or dominant forward carry’s then everything about the numbers tells the story re tactics, player selection. The gloss is well and truely off this coaching team. Big weekend.

Any reason why?
The Curse of the Meldrews. I have a late-night social event on Friday and will have to get up at 6am to watch.

NRL would never do such a thing. Rugby are amateurs in a professional world
Is it NZR's job to allow a few Victorians to catch a passing glimpse of a game they're not interested in, and are never going to be, or to provide a better experience for their own fans and local kids who are never going to watch a game they're not interested in?
And I do wish people would stop blowing smoke up League's arse.
Everyone does know both unions have to agree on the time of tests don't they?
Basically when the game was set, I pretty sure noone from NZR would have a clue there a final for AFL on at same time, and I bet RA just forgot. Noone online have even realised until the last month. -

AB's by plenty tomorrow. Playing at Eden Park and coinciding with Week A of our on/off rotation of giving a fuck makes us basically unbeatable.
Score prediction 35-15
It would fit with the pattern - one good performance and then an absolute shit one. Can't figure out if we're bouncing along the bottom or it's just teething problems with a game-plan now into it's second year.
At least Robertson hasn't been panicked into making wholesale changes and is giving players like BB time to familiarise themselves with the new environment......

Was going to like but can you please clarify 35-15 to who?
Does my opening sentence not povide a guide?
You expect me to read three sentences and remember what was said in the first one?
(OK... going back to upvote)

We have done the hard work to create that space in the first place which has been the disappointing thing when we haven’t capitalised by handing the ball to the opposition with a kick

Firm breakdown policing
I read that as breakdancing. Might be in trouble.
We should be ok - Razors got better moves than Raygun
He's getting older though.

I'm going to stick my neck on the block and say a NZer with AB coaching pedigree will be the winner tomorrow.

The 9 tv adverts have turned up the volume to 11. Watch out ABs, the Wallabies have "fire in their eyes".
