All Blacks vs Tonga
-
looking at the team lists, i am honestly more interested in watching the curtain raiser then the "test"
This is a tune up game. The top 23 have to play as much as possible. But then we have to hope no one gets hurt. Everything to lose, fuck all to gain. A necessary evil.
That horrible mix of going through the motions without revealing anything, but not going soft enough that you get hurt (or lit the fuck up by a fired up Tongan).

@Rembrandt Live on SS1 before the AB test.
-
It's going to rain all week this week with rain on Saturday.
AB's are going to have a nice pitch to play on after that curtain raiser...

The NZ Barbarian legends have 4 halfbacks in their squad. 20 mins each I suppose as Tonu'u hasn't gotten any smaller in retirement.

@Bovidae maybe he is propping?

A RWC tune-up game on a saturated, muddy pitch in the rain against Tonga in Hamilton. What could possibly go wrong?
