All Blacks v Tonga

[Bovidae]

@kirwan The World XV would have done.

I was supposed to be at this game, so I'm super looking forward to it for my lockdown Saturday. Although the combo with the Maori game was why I was most excited to go.

Don't know why Clark gets the love this year. His form in 2021 was really, really poor both in defense and attack (he seemed to be running around like a headless chook). I would put Bridge in there ahead of him at the moment. Ioane light years ahead of them both though and if Ioane isn't at centre he should be starting at 11.

He had a misdiagnosed injury he was playing through. Even on one leg he's more effective than Bridge.

He could probably hop faster than Bridge runs.

Who came on here to White Knight Bridge and point out all these amazing “stats” about how he’d beaten loads of players etc. I hope whoever it is comes back……..

I'ver seen a winger less keen to beat a man on the outside, always settles for being tackled. If he's not put into a gap by someone he's pretty ineffective.

Just saw that video of Fozzie on Facebook and it was captioned.
If my earlier theory is correct then the ABs will score 16 tries (that’s how many times he said “really “)

Boots should be black. I can tolerate a small white logo of sorts. Nothing more.

Maybe three stripes at a push.

All Blacks have played Sydney in the past. This is nothing new.

Don't bring up that game.

The ABs have often started the season with a game against a PI team in the last 20 years. The problem is that the options for the next tests are limited in a Lions tour year. Even the French team to play Aust will be under-strength.

They've played Sydney more than once.

Says "Not available in your area", but a bit disconcerting that can't find any info on actually what area it's available in....

You silly old fluffybunnies

The best pair of boots I ever owned were blue and white.

Even the traditional old mizunos I owned in the 90s had a fluorescent yellow highlight to them.
