Italy vs All Blacks

[Tim]

@allblacksfan72 Ah, had forgotten he was on tour.

[Tim]

@nepia Thought they might still be giving him limited minutes.

[Machpants]

Each three minutes vs Italy like one normal minute, 1/2 an Irish minute, so no probs Coles doing the entire 80!

[Bovidae]

I'm expecting to see a forward pack of:

Tuungafasi
Coles
Laulala
Tuipulotu
Retallick
Fifita
Papalii
Read

Reserves: Harris, Tu'inukuafe, Ta'avao, S Barrett, Savea

Hopefully an ALB-Goodhue midfield.

[Steven Harris]

For all the commotion that was made about releasing Matt Todd from his Japanese contract,he hardly played 20 minutes in the 2 most important tests of the tour..what was the point..?

[taniwharugby]

has Fifita played 8, although could put Savea at 8....

I know it'd be raw, but put Read on the bench and start Papali'i, Savea and Fifita

whats the worst that could happen

A lot of ball running and no one doing any work ?

[taniwharugby]

@mn5 we'll be scoring soooooo many tries to make up for the last 2 weeks, we wont need to!

Dalton would have to have one of his 25 tackle games with that combo.

It'd be like Jonah rugby.....Fifita could bump off all 15 on the way to the line.

[taniwharugby]

@kirwan again, won't matter, we will be running in soooo many tries, we wont need to make any tackles.

@tim said in Italy vs All Blacks:

So what's the pack going to be?

They are hardly a pack anymore. More of a whimper.

Yes still angry. Well sulky.

Reuben Thorne is awarded a retrospective knighthood?

[taniwharugby]

@donsteppa I'd of thought Italy winning, but ok...

[mariner4life]

Put it this way, if we lose to Italy, then i want everyone sacked. Everyone.

Sacked ? don't you mean killed ?

And the squad has to stay in Italy. Citizenship revoked.

[taniwharugby]

@donsteppa exiled to Somalia would be better!

fuck off, that sounds awesome. Villas in Tuscany are pretty cheap. Drop them somewhere shit.

No, that's harsh. They can come home. It's just they have to move to Palmerston North.
