RWC: 3rd/4th game All Blacks vs Wales
-
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.

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.

at least we have three gold to with it!

I don’t care what people think about the merits of the match but if we lose to Wales it’s an unmitigated disaster.
I’d be confident the team will include all those retiring or moving overseas and that we will win handily enough.

Rather him than Garces again

Wayne Barnes given the whistle.
Whippee doo.
I think Wayne should go out in style by disallowing Wales a match-winning try off a pass that clearly went backwards.

Nup. He talks too much.
I like that young French ref. Reckon his game management is very good.

The threepeat is back on! -
The All Blacks will become the first team to win three bronze finals if they beat Wales this weekend. It’s coming home! -

Barnes has morphed into a pretty good ref IMHO.
Way, way better than Garces & Poite. (not that's much of an endorsement)

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.

Well, I guess the 1953 Welsh win was fake news.

Not to mention 1903 and 1935.

Deans scored in 1905.
1935 was probbly fake news.

The 1953 Wales win was the subject of one of the best sports books I've ever read - Dragons & All Blacks.
Highly, highly recommended.

1905 d'oh.
1935 was one of the least successful All Black teams (lost two tests on tour) but captained by my Mum's uncle.

Jack Manchester?
They were adjusting to the 3-4-1 scrum from the 2-3-3 IIRC. Major change in play for the AB's
Didn't they lose to England as well?
