One way to get Sotutu on the park.

Surprising that it's been a decade since Ireland last played in NZ:
Ireland v All Blacks in NZThere's a few AB players that are still around from the 2012 series: Whitelock, Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett
Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett all made their debut during that series

@Duluth shit that is a surprise!
is it though?
No one comes in a RWC year, so that's 2 years out.
The Lions is another one out
2020 and 2021 CovidSo that's 4 tours since. 2 for France, 1 each for England and Wales.

i didn't say the math didn't check out..just i hadn't really thought about it and off the top of my head i might have thought a top team would have come more recently

nah since we switched back to the 3 test series it's spread out heaps. And seems weird because we usually play 3 big teams in November.
And we really seem to love France touring.

The decade before the last visit Ireland were here in 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010
All Blacks have played in Dublin 4 times since the Irish last played in NZ
Covid has had an impact but it seems NH visits are getting less frequent. Don't know what Scotlands problem is.. they haven't been here since 2000

Wasn't that when we would get at least two nations here in June (which we wanted because NZRU got sick of dead rubber 3rd tests. We are nothing if not hugely arrogant)
who organises? Is it by invite? because if it is i imagine the Scots aren't the draw card, they'll end up playing the shit stadiums like Nelson, Napier, and what ever tin shed is in Christchurch. NZRU can't afford it.

Hopefully the new set up will see different teams played more often, I'm not a fan at all of the 3 game tours down here. Yet up north we travel around, sucks

i like it. Especially if we keep getting mid-week games
The geography makes it hard here. Aus and NZ is pretty doable. But through in Argentina and South Africa and it's a little much to ask the Northern teams to country-hop. Edinburgh to Paris is like 900km, or half a Queensland.

@1kiwi said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:
Just heard from Ian Smith on SENZ that potentially another 3 players may be out with Covid...
ABs, Irish, or both?

So the 'talk' this morning is that LF comes in for Jordan, QT is at 12 and SB is at 6.
You have to wonder if this is guesswork from journos or actual knowledge as there's no mention of where Clark fits, who starts at 10, whether AS is ready......
