RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

@Rancid-Schnitzel said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Optimism levels greatly reduced due to inclusion of Ginga.
TBH, as stupid was that is, it won't be with winning or losing of the game. It'll be foster sticking with pretty much the same tactics, esp on defence, for years. It'll be not learning the 'learnings' 🤮. It'll be lack of leadership when it gets tight. It'll be the lack of discipline when our stupid short kicking game puts us under relentless pressure. It'll be the lack of nous when it comes to pushing and working the ref.
@Machpants wonder what learnings will be in his presser...
Time for Fozzie to give us the :middle_finger_light_skin_tone: and his senior players to repay his faith in.them

@george33 can you elaborate on how you know or are you just speculating?

Talea, Roigard, Ofa , Blackadder, Sami T
Bit late homeSurely they’re all blameless except for Ethan, who of course turned their water into wine

Not for me. I understand the thinking and decision
Really though? What is the actual defensive edge he has, any idea? It's been said a lot, but there hasn't been any substance put to it.
You'd probably have to ask Schmidt. Clearly sees something in Christie we don't see. Mind you, he was the one who coached the AB's to the last win over Ireland when Foster was ill and had Christie on the bench so he clearly knows what he is doing......

I asked you, because you keep saying it.

Bit late homeif true, I wonder how many would have started, if they had better watches.

@nostrildamus assume only Telea dead cert, rest were bench at best, although did they stay out knowing they weren't being selected and only Telea blew it...although ST, slow learner?

That is my worry about the Lomax/Newell selection.
I would feel better with Laulala on the bench

You wouldn't be worried about Laulala coming on and yet again giving away scrum penalties, despite the myth surrounding him being a rock at scrum time?
Because after that scrum he'll then show you the amazing attacking skills of a prop from the 80s that's quantum leaped into the game. Then round it off by making a tackle while standing up straight.

@Kiwiwomble it's come thru my source and I ain't happy about it at all ,same as I was told Christie on bench from Monday

Everything your so called source has said over the last half a year has been so far from the truth so I doubt this is even true.
I’m starting to think you just post speculative shit to wind up the Fern.
You’ve literally just named guys that have not been selected and said they were also out late. Anyone could do that. I think it’s time to sack your source because he’s full of shit.

Weird I am seeing posts SAM T and Blackadder were out late they are non drinkers.
I can not see those 2 out on the town it makes no sense.@Chris said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:

I can not see those 2 out on the town it makes no sense.You can still go out and have a good time without drinking.
Well, I can’t but apparently it is possible

@Chris-B Its not true. George or his source have just made it up.

@Yeahtheboys lol I don’t think George has a source. He’s just a wind up merchant.
If Roigard was in that group Fozzie would have used that excuse as to why he got dropped, but he didn’t so it’s therefore B.S.
