All Blacks vs Scotland

[No Quarter]

Bloody hell I finally get a break from work to come and join the meltdown over the latest team naming and it's not even named yet? On a fucking Friday? What the hell is going on in this world??

Are the AB fans actually worried about Finn Russell?

We're more worried about Fozzie.

I don't apologise for voicing my displeasure with the head coach of the ABs.

I voted already, so what?

@No-Quarter Settle. We're all playing on Sunday, so naming pushed back to Friday here on Thursday Island.

Island Time is a thing so that's some time mid-arvo Sunday

He’s directing you to the thread to moan about Foster. It’s tiresome having the same bleating bleed into every discussion.

[Bovidae]

Based on last week's team announcement I assume either side of midnight NZT for this team.

Edit: 12:30 am again.

[Bones]

Interesting.

Why move Jordie from 12 for fuck sake.

I expect nothing out of that midfield.

[Stargazer]

I expected/hoped Aumua and Harmon to be named on the bench. Not happening.

Smith and Mo'unga getting a well-deserved rest not un-expected.

Beautiful effort bro.

Fuck me dead

Foster reading 'The Eddie Jones Story'?

[Stargazer]

@Steve In order to be able to give RM a rest, they needed to move BB to 10, which means Jordie back to 15 (in the absence of Jordan).

Obviously, it's a bigger step from Jordie to Perofeta at 15 than from Jordie to Havili at 12, who has played well at 12 since the Ellis Park test, even if he has been leapfroged by Jordie. So this line-up makes sense.
