@MiketheSnow said in RWC: 3rd/4th game All Blacks vs Wales:
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.

Ah. Thank you for pointing that out. I genuinely didn't know.
I consider myself suitably schooled and will administer the requisite uppercuts accordingly. -

Just because you Welsh haven't learned to spell properly after all these years.
@Billy-Webb Didn't I say something about school days?

@Billy-Webb Close. Alun-Wyn - with a hyphen. Alun-Wyn being his given name. made more complex by the somewhat confusing Welsh alphabet. U instead of A, LL (being Cl), dd (being f), csi (instead of x). Plus many more I am sure.

Eish.... Third time lucky for me then. Or is it fourth? Or fifth? I will now exit the stage with whatever shred of dignity I still have remaining...

Yep.
Liam Williams, George North gone in the backs.
Jonathan Davies and Hadleigh Parkes broken but playing.
Not many scoring opportunities if these four aren't firing.
@MiketheSnow Hadliegh Parkes? Wales is screwed.

Often much correlation and causation.

The play-off for the Rugby World Cup 2019 bronze medal between New Zealand and Wales will be available live on Spark Sport and with a one hour delay on TVNZ 1 on Friday 1 November. The match was previously scheduled to stream solely on Spark Sport, but the Spark team has made the decision to show the match with a one hour delay on TVNZ now that the All Blacks are part of the play-off.

[edit - split from another topic]
Whatever happens in this game I would like to see this 2 Haka thing put to bed. I have never been okay with it. It smacks of us picking and choosing who is worthy of the special one and who is going to get the contractually obligated one.
Will they do Kapo Pango this week because they are hurt from their loss and have departing players. Or will they do Ka Mate because who honestly cares about a 3rd place play off and Wales are losers as well.
We look like total cocks pulling out our special haka, and then getting spanked.
Choose one or the other. Or one for home and on for away.
But this special haka thing just gets on my nerves.
-
So we are striving for a record third Bronze medal! Yay us!
May as well end the Hansen era with a loss to the welsh but we will win as Wales look a bit poke.
-
at least we have three gold to with it!
