    Man, I finally saw the snail trail fern jersey in the flesh this weekend, ugh, it is really obvious and looks childish and cheap. The jerseys they are wearing now don't have it on them, I just thought it was very subtle. Nope gopping, saving me some dosh tho

    It's obvious on the polo shirt and training top - it's not obvious at all on the actual jersey. Talk about a beat up over nothing.

      My strong money is on Havili, assuming he is fit.

      Foster drops nobody. Not for form, not for a better mix, not to change the style of play. You only leave the Foster team or squad because you are injured or retire.

        They are selling them at the local mall here. They look like shit and are made of shit material, but I saw a bunch of kids looking at them and one purchase.

        Since the Jersey and the shirts are different, my care factor is exactly zero.

          It's totally obvious on the RWC jerseys, looks crap as fuck. One was in the window in a shop, you could see the snail trails from across the street :face_vomiting:
          Can't see it on the jersey they are wearing now, as it doesn't have it. Only RWC stuff

            The social media.post the ABs put up today asking the squad if they would rather run it straight at Kaino or tackle Jonah in full flight was pretty good

            Question should have been running it straight at Jerry

            Yeah I’d agree with that,

            Jerry used to do something that was a bit unique at times , he would hit them first with the shoulder and then a slight pause while he seemed to hold them up and brace himself, then finish them with a body slam into the dirt .

            Sometimes it was that secondary action that would make you cringe for the poor bastard on the receiving end 😁

              @Victor-Meldrew Are you arguing that Foster does drop players, or that he doesn't?

              Cody Taylor is back where he always was -- starting. Despite not being the best hooker in the country.

              Frizzell is back starting too. No-one has ever been preferred to him since he made his way in. The only chance he had of being taken out of the preferred 15 was for other old-timers, so Scott Barrett can be included.

                the snail trail is definitely on their current jerseys, saw it on the weekend, i think theyre ones are a slightly different fabric or just not as obvious from a distance....but definitely saw it when close up on one of the players, Savea lifting the bledisloe for example

                      They brighten the patterns in the photos so you can see them.

                          EDIT HD watching of the Haka shows no sign of the snail trail, they are not on the non-RWC jerseys at all

                              TAB has odds for most of the first round RWC games up.

                              France $1.87 - ABs $2.00

                                    some quick googling says the hosts generally win their opener.

                                    Only England in 91 and France in 2007 have not won their opener.

                                    Of course, going on to win as host is much much harder

                                      some quick googling says the hosts generally win their opener.

                                      Only England in 91 and France in 2007 have not won their opener.

                                      Of course, going on to win as host is much much harder

                                          All Blacks have never lost a pool game.

                                          That will be put to the test.
