It was caught on camera, I didn't even know they had knees.

It’s the ABs every match counts, look forward to watching them frontup again.
Yep, I'll watch it with the boy (6) who has really gotten into this WC, first time he's showed any interest in watching rugby.
Can't always win everything, sport has plenty of great lessons to teach young people - notably here that losing sucks so instead of sulking you should make sure you learn from it and improve.
Hope the ABs put on a great performance and put that philosophy into practice.

Savea, though, looks a likely absence with a knee meniscus problem. Otherwise everyone is available with Todd back on deck after a shoulder issue ruled him out for the semifinal. The team will be named on Wednesday.

@Tim haha so much could be read into (made up) from his comments...
Well I told Steve we had to start Sam, Crottz, Bender and Reek, and we should do this to counter their expected game plan, but, well, you know, he's the boss...*
*I just made that up.

Shook his hand and said well done and happy birthday. Couple of other Kiwis chimed in that they were proud of him.

Cheers, Kieran Read's a top man. May his flagon always be full.

ABs have been badly effected by the loss 🥺
It's worse than we realised!

The worst part of that article is that Foster still intends to go for the main job. FFS Tenure does not always mean talent, the amount of people who still get promoted based on age (perceived experience) over skill is astounding, NZ rugby better take note.
Fresh blood please

@MiketheSnow Whatever team is picked by Hansen, the forward pack will need to redeem itself and perform much better at the breakdown.

We'll be fielding Neil Jenkins and a few supporters the number of injuries we've got.

Is it that bad Mike?
If so, it's a pity for Wales who of the 2 teams, probably have the most to gain from this match. Swansong for Gatland (and Wyn Jones I think?), bronze medal and a first ever victory over the AB's.
Hansen would normally have been tempted to give some of his fringe players a run. But the risk for NZ is that they lose 2 in a row at a RWC (last achieved in 99 I think?) and that they give up their record against Wales.Welsh fans likely to be the more chilled of the two sets i would think come Friday.

Legend or nutter? Bit of both I guess.
