All Blacks XV v Uruguay

Grooter

Heard this game isn't being broadcast on Sky, disappointing it's 2025 we should be able to see such a fixture

Bones

@Grooter doesn't appear to be being broadcast on any channels remotely accessible over here either.

Bones

Fucking idiotic that you can't go to an NZR resource and easily find out how to watch.

I'd say that CLW has been added to the AB squad.

Gun loose forward trio, great balance - although I might shove Withy at 8 on attacking scrums.

McLeod and Fihaki a bit pedestrian but otherwise like the backline too. If Ennor could stop dropping the fucking ball he could be what we hoped Rieko would be.

@Bones Went to Flo Rugby or Sports, nothing there either. Why organise this game at significant expense, and not even organise a broadcast. NZR fucking useless.

So, so amateur. Is Robinson gone yet?

Tim

@Bones We can only hope

Bovidae

I am hoping it will be like the Barbarians game where Sky were late in confirming live coverage.

Good side. I think it will win comfortably against Uruguay.

I love the back three. Loose forwards very fine with three men whose workrate is high.

@Grooter last time I went we grabbed a hummer limo between about 15 of us and it was less than 20 squid a pop - return from Clapham.

That lineup looks useful.

Yep although the midfield certainly makes me hope no All Black centres get injured anytime soon....or ever.

The Front row looks no where near test standard.
I hope no more front rowers bite the dust.

I know every time Ennor gets a mention you jump on it and call him shit, but he was deservedly man of the match in their last game.
In terms of how much I'd be worried if any of those 23 guys had to fill in for the ABs, he'd be in my 'least worried' category, with Dalton, Fakatava, Beehre.

Good point I should mention McLeod too, not sure I’ve ever called any player shit though ?…..but anyway there’s a bunch of guys ahead of them both so the ABs should be ok.

nostrildamus

I'm just amazed Ennor has had a relatively injury-free run! He def deserves this level based on previous form.
Yeah the front row, I don't know, but the backline looks ok to me actually. Would be more dangerous of course with Tangitau.
