@voodoo Top four teams in that pool are all ranked very closely, that's probably not a good pool of death. But it will be hard to call

@Kiwiwomble Why would you feel embarrassed by something that didn't happen (head contact)?

because no matter how some try to sugar coat this
he dived pointed shoulder first at a player on the ground away from teh ball (it was in no way a "clean out") and it was good luck not good management that meant he missed the head. He still hit the base of the neck which is still dangerous and shitty.
These two points are not incompatible.

I think i this is very relevant
(Ireland) in their last 23 Tests, stretching back to June 2021, they have picked up just two yellow cards.
France, who throughout 2021 and 2022 were vying with Ireland for that top spot, were almost as well disciplined, being shown one yellow and one red over that period.
(ABs) Between 2020 and 2022 they played 35 Tests and were shown 16 yellows and three reds

Two words; absorbing tackle.
Lies, damned lies and statistics.

@Machpants I wonder how Australia ranks, I have a feeling they are as bad or worse than us. I don't have the stats but I assume teams that struggle get more cards due to defending more. Not sure.

@chimoaus and wasnt there a period where we were happy to play without the ball pressuring with our defence and then using our counter attack, now our defence isnt the weapon it used to be, and our counter attack isnt either.

@chimoaus there’s a very real probability the Wallabies given side of the draw that they are could go deeper than the All Blacks

As to cards I don't think they were worse than us, but similar. However they are also shit when NOT getting cards

So, who plays six against France, with Frizell injured? Barrett, Vaa'i, Jacobson, Papalii, or Cane?
Do we need a poll?

First two needed to cover lock. LJ wasn't effective against Boks, so Paps is last man standing?

Barrett is an 80 minute player when he isn't getting carded, so if BBBR is fit then BBBR and SW at lock, SB at 6
If there's a need to sub one of BBBR or SW then SB goes to lock and Vaa'i or Paps to 6

Really think we should have come over earlier and had an extra warmup game against Japan or one of the island nations or even played in Japan.
@SBW1 and risk losing to them? You know Foster would have played the E team.
