Christie again
FFS. Let's hope Smith stays on for the full 80 minutes again.
(unless the AB's have a big lead with say20105 minutes left).As we found out last week, we're better off just sending Aaron to stand behind the try line for 5 minutes either side of halftime and play with 14.
with at most 2 more games in the black jersey...good bloody luck getting him off the field i would say
I'm hoping the try line is on the field this week.
Pretty sure selections reflect this
You've heard then

Watching the Stan preview, 2 things spring to mind:
- It’s extraordinary that SBW is getting paid to speak; and
- We are going to put 30 on Argentina on Saturday

@DaGrubster the day of that 'greatest game of Rugby ever' in 2000 in Sydney, the entire team was in a lappy bar in town drinking and err cahorting. Didn't seem to impact them that night, maybe they should do it again lol
Well yeah, cheap buffet innit
Beware the clam chowder!

And Jordie should have been 12 long ago.
Anyone know how many Super Rugby Games Jordie has started at 12 before Foster put him there?
Probably as many as he started on the wing or at 13.
When he filled in at MF during the Lions tour I knew he could do it, as did you. It took a while but everyone else eventually caught up mate...
Hate to rain on yours and @Rancid-Schnitzel little parade but if you got back through the TSF history books you will find that I was a very early advocate of him playing 2nd 5 when he was just a young pup playing for Canterbury. And sure enough Razor got my emails back in 2016 and played him there….

Don't want to turn this into a "4 Yorkshiremen" skit but you would also find that I too was advocating for him around that time. But it was a no brainer because he was playing for the NZ U20s and Canterbury at.....farking 12.

Let's hope he carries that 2016 U20 knockout stage form into the Argentinian semi then.

Well as he played 12 for NZ U20s and was always a 12, he also always said he preferred 12 as a position it was certainly nothing new. He played there for Canterbury and had a few games for Canes there, can't remember how many.

Always looked like a utility type with his skills , can understand why he didn’t play much 12 in seniors in the beginning because he was just so tall and skinny looking , and then he started looking at home at fb.
, but i thought it was always a possibility he may return there down the track if he bulked up .

Just an interesting question in my mind, for the semi's this weekend, have we ever been in the situation where 3 of the 4 teams have suffered a loss before semis and were second in their pools?

Not unsurprising when the general consensus before the tournament was that this RWC would be the most openly contested ever

When they asked him about the value of Nuggie to the team, it was just embarrassing

@voodoo Argentina to score 31?
Damn you!
But seriously, I have us WINNING by 30 tomorrow. All this talk of overconfidence in the team is nonsense. They’ll have prepared well, they know what’s ahead.
I’m going with 42-10

@voodoo I think there are enough there with hurt from 2019 to remove any complacency, especially when we put Ireland out last time in the 1/4 too.

I am going to be pissed off if the ABs win on the weekend. I have been really calm during this cup, having resigned myself to a limp AB effort. Now I am slowly starting to build hope and if we make the final I will be a fucking nervous wreck. Damn you Fozzie.
