Whoever is persisting with picking over the hill guys like BB, whether it's Razor or someone higher up forcing his hand, they need to be binned. They are damaging our legacy

I not just saying that because I think like it or not BB probably the right choice.....at this stage.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion Dan. Here's mine: let alone the ABs, BB wasn't the best choice for his Super team. And in all honesty, I think he probably wouldn't have been the best choice for his NPC team this year either.

Beaudy was on a McCartney esque farewell tour for the last few years, where he tried but couldn’t hit the high notes.

But now he has morphed into modern day Bob Dylan. He charges a fortune and everyone himself included knows he won’t even try to play any of the hits.

Brilliant

Not clear to me how ABs will use backline bench, absent injury. What would be trigger for bringing on DMac, and for whom?
And is Leicester injury cover or will he be primed to, say, replace Caleb at 60?

Just did my part for NZ rugby. No broadcasters in Canada have the rights for today's game - so the game is available as a PPV via the NZR app - $16.

I'm strangely ambivalent about this. I just don't think we're going to improve until we get some competence in the backline attack coaching and fix the loose forwards.

When you look at it there are some fine players there. Lakai, Parker. Sititi, Savea, Carter, Clarke, Jordan. QT, JB.
We seem to be lacking in leadership and organisation.
New captain?

This guy mentions a bunch of average players and doesn't even flinch at ignoring Roigard.

And we have the gall to call Robertson a shit selector.

Half an hour to go.

I'm predicting an AB win by ten points.

@MiketheSnow Pitch looks terrible.

Andy Farrell did a Jurgen Kloop and spent five minutes staring at the All Blacks doing their warm up drills

Razor likes to do that too.

[Jet]

No matter what happens today, I have still won as many world cups as Brian O Driscoll and Johnny Sexton.

They can both go and fuck themselves.

@African-Monkey It's a Rassie thing too apparently.

"I watch the opponent warm-up to pick up cues."

Picture quality is a bit milky, production a bit suspect… or is it just me?

[sparky]

It looks like there are many more Ireland fans at the game than AB ones.

[Victor Meldrew]

Prediction: An easy win for us.

[Jet]

You'd never accuse Jordie Barrett of vanity.

That haircut is criminal. He should be on a watchlist.

If there are petty cards or too much TMO I'll lose my fucking shit.

I wonder were the reffing crew given a tap on the shoulder to say "we are trying to grow the game here, ease up on the douchebaggery".
