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?

Obolensky's match I think?

@Catogrande Ahh, so England are the instigators of poaching then. At least they have set a high level, a Prince no less. Still I'll settle for a Tokoroa Matai or a possible Nadi Ratu.
@Higgins Political and economic migrant, same as Willi Heinz.

Perhaps RWC Mickey Mouse Final is an apt thread title name for this thread as well?
-
You would assume Read, Crotty, SBW, Bender will be in the side as it is their last test for the AB's? You would then think some of the players that have not featured may get some minutes, Moli, Ioane, Weber, Coltman, Frizell. Then a dash of the top 15 who have a point to prove.
Or maybe Shag wants to put out the strongest side to ensure the win. I guess we sill see soon enough.
-
So the team is named today right?
Does Hansen risk (his reputation) starting Cane and Rieko?
-
@Nepia why would Cane be a risk?
TBF, a few players like Crotty, Ioane and BFA, havent played for almost a month!

Because he should have started last week. :angry_face:
