he said you shouldn't be playing a different position for your club and expecting to have the skills for that position come test time.
have to think that is aimed specifically at the SB move, and given he worked with SB when he was at the 'saders, quite a telling comment?
But hey hope SB proves all the doubters wrong!
Hope so, hope he has a Kaino like match.

I think he was referencing the Irish 10 in the Maori game who plays 12 for his club. But his comments are valid for SB also.

An interesting interview with O'Gara re tonight's test. He claims SH team follow the man on D whereas Ireland and the North follow the ball. He believes with enough bodies in motion NZ defensive players get confused and allow space and opportunity.
He also made reference that the NZ backline has not got a lot of minutes together and if Ireland take away time and space it should be interesting.
He also talked about players needing minutes in the position they play in test matches, he said you shouldn't be playing a different position for your club and expecting to have the skills for that position come test time.

Sounds like we are a bunch of simpletons.-lol

Gotta say I love test day, makes doing my chores and other things easier knowing I have a game to look forward to tonight. I hope you all enjoy your Saturday and get your jobs done so you can enjoy the rugby guilt free.

Same to you mate. Wife is out at her friend's wedding which I somehow managed to get out of, so it's me and my 3 boys at home for a boys night in. I've had ribs in the slow cooker all day, to be served with onion rings, chips and beer. Can't wait for the first test of the year, bring it on!

Interesting to hear your opinions. I think as an Irishman I'd say we only have the edge in the starting props (reserve front row is a big step down), Josh Van Der Flier and Henshaw. I'd give it to the All Blacks in every other position.

And if you're right, that really speaks to how poorly coached our team is

Had a brisket in smoking for a few hours. Dinner between tests
I've started drinking so I can get nice and ranty on here during the game
Happy first test day everyone
Carn the fucking All Blacks!!

I'll probably take one of my wife's anti-anxiety pills 20 minutes prior to kick-off (I'm not kidding)

Like you need the drink to get ranty, it's just a bonus.

Though the most fun I ever had was after the Perth debacle when I was pretty pissed and went right the fuck off.

ABs by 10
Reece first try scorer

ABs by 6. Me shitting myself on the edge of the chair as Ireland attack in the dying moments.
