    It’s only Ireland

    Scott, Beauden or Jordie at 10?

    Take your pick, if only Kane was in the squad.

    it’s only Ireland

    Greg Kane? He'd be long in the tooth!

    theres a name i havnt heard for a while

    Irish fans who have been very cocky when it comes to playing us in recent years seem very pessimistic about this one

    Their squad is thin and they’ve suffered a fair few injuries. Their incumbent flyhalf is a revolving door who struggles when put under pressure. Their props are weak as piss.

    And their coach seems to favour one province over the others to the detriment of the team.

    That’s all a sideshow though. Trouble is it’s too far away from RWC pool play for the plastic micks to wank themselves frothy over a good but flawed team.

    Your props aren’t weak just not dedicated to their craft.

    Dunno about that. Razor finally jettisoned Havili and Blackadder this year......

    Oh, you mean the Irish.

    So the All Blacks to allow another game that should be a comfortable win to go right down to the wire?

    @Smuts Easy win for the AB's so? I'm not going to disagree. Like last year, it's the first game Ireland will have played in months, against one of the world's top teams who've just played a tournament....yeah, we've no chance.

    So you will be fresh and hungry. And at home.
    So ABs are underdogs.

    Razor thinking he only needs two players to beat Ireland is the height of arrogance I must say. He should really name 15 of them.

    But I hear Charlie Ngatai will be named so he only needs one other player to feed his one man scrum and throw into his one man lineout.

    We got this.

    Keep the faith! But don't show this to Nepia. There aren't enough tissues.

    What the fuck was ever the point of a media "Possible Team".
    Either claim a "Predicted Team", or even "Preferred Team", put your name on it; or just fuck off.
    "Possible team" - that's AI-speak. And inherently... ignore.

    @Kruse In Foster's era, Knowler and the other influential writers all got leaked the team a couple of days before the official announcement.

    Unknown knowns team? That would break up the Crusaders frontrow and I think it is interesting they'd still start Lakai then add in Sititi. If true looks like QT is backing both 12 and 13.

    So - "Leaked Team" ?
    As pointless.

    The pitch is tighter than a ducks arse.

    Won’t be much space out there.
