I am looking at this match with the expectation that we need to win by 20 plus. If we don't we have failed and our expectations have been lowered which is a dent to our so called "aura". If it is a tight game it is all on the coaching which I have been critical of since day one. Never approached at AB game with such an apathetic attitude. Thanks Foster and Co.

I'll be stoked to win by 1 to be honest.

But doesn't that show how low our expectations are? WTF.

We're ranked 3rd i the world, Ireland 4 the (thanks fitter), it's just realistic

@broughie no. Even during our heyday of McCaw etc, we still had very close wins (and losses) against NH opponents.

@mariner4life Cannot even see what is happening. I never watch the last 5 minutes before kick-off. Listening to some 80s metal now.

Okay, you do you bro!!

[Machpants]

[broughie]

@mariner4life likewise. And you agree with me that Cane should not be starting.

[Mattasaurus]

So if we win does that mean Fossies selections were good

Question for you Kiwis. Who, if any of the Irish would ye take in an AB team?

I'm nervous about this first test... I just hope it's a close game and we don't get pumped.

I wouldn’t pick one Irish combined…

Wouldn’t mind that chap who used to play for Waikato

Looks like 2 sweepers
