    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.

    Aaron Smith for MoTM. Closely followed by King Read

      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.

          @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.

                "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

                12. Chris Jack
                13. Jerry Collins
                14. Richie McCaw
                15. Rodney So'alo

                Never heard of that Rodney So'alo fella.

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

                            Fucking Norwegians have turned on us... forecasted precipitation is growing.
                            Goddamn Scandinavians, might have to go over and seduce some of their women - just for, you know, the principle of it all.

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

                                      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.

                                      JK would eat Jerry Collins for breakfast

                                      Would be more interesting if Neil Francis was not a complete dick.
