    Woodwards tweet shows how at least on Englishman doesn't understand NZ rugby and why we are who we are and perhaps they are who they are. As already said - the pressure is always on. Always.

          I'm drinking a bottle of wine and watching Pirates of the Caribbean with my boys, relaxed as fuck.

          We'll win, and when we look objectively, it will be viewed as one of the best given the players available and the level of the opposition.

            Am nervous as fuck ...

            Crows conceded a goal just before the half time siren to put it within 3 ...

            Pirates though ... excellent choice

                For the first time in my life I have bet against the ABs as an emotional hedge. Sold the ABs points handicap @ +12.5. I feel dirty.

                      Oh shit, and now I've stumbled on Return of the King, where the tattered remnants of Middle Zealand defeat the hordes of white orcs on steroids; and beasts from both the bog and the pit.

                            @TeWaio how do 30 pieces of silver feel Judas. Remember when the cockerel crows 3 times you will end up hanging yourself. 😲

                              Judases north of the border too

                              As cries of ‘Come on the All Blacks’ and ‘Greig Laidlaw should be starting’ come from north of the English border, the rest of us look on with a degree of incredulity.

                              http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/disgruntled-scottish-rugby-fans-who-13296953

                              Quite rightly the only starting Laidlaw will be doing is packing.

                                All my doubts are now put to rest. I've remembered "logic".
                                Ioane scored 2 tries on his first start against the Lions.
                                Therefore Barrett & Laumape will also score 2 tries each.
                                Sorted.

                                  found this interesting:

                                  http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/lions-tour/neil-francis-only-two-all-blacks-would-get-in-their-2005-side-new-zealand-are-now-doubted-favourites-35900468.html

                                  "That was an exceptional side and the only players from the current side that would have a chance of getting in would be Brodie Retalick and Read."

                                  I think our 2017 forward pack as a whole is much better than the 2005 version. Our current locking pair is pretty special.
                                  Obviously 2017 backline is inexperienced - but I would take Smith with one arm over Marshall.

                                  2005 team:

                                  1. Mils Muliaina
                                  2. Doug Howlett
                                  3. Tana Umaga
                                  4. Aaron Mauger
                                  5. Sitiveni Sivivatu
                                  6. Dan Carter
                                  7. Justin Marshall
                                  8. Tony Woodcock
                                  9. Keven Mealamu
                                  10. Carl Hayman
                                  11. Ali Williams
                                  12. Chris Jack
                                  13. Jerry Collins
                                  14. Richie McCaw
                                  15. Rodney So'alo

                                  Never heard of that Rodney So'alo fella.

                                        And Kaino.

                                        Really? JC was in his prime. I'm not convinced Kaino is any more.

                                          @Frye as much as I love JC, it's not a tough decision.
