All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson

[Nepia]

Shit, is that the 'B-ist' team we've played in a long time?

[mariner4life]

Shit team in a shit location. lucky the Warriors are on

[Stargazer]

I'm a bit surprised it took this long to sell out.

When the All Blacks and Argentina take the field on Saturday night, it will be in front of a sold out crowd of 21,480 fans with Trafalgar Park’s capacity increased with an additional 14,872 temporary seats installed especially for the Investec Rugby Championship Test match.

This is translated by google, but you'll get it:

The squad traveled on New Zealand Thursday afternoon to Nelson with the team confirmed to face the All Blacks, on Saturday (4:45 AM of our country) , for the third date of the Personal Rugby Championship.

After the preparation days in Auckland and some tests, Mario Ledesma decided to make four changes in the team regarding the XV that defeated South Africa in Mendoza, a few weeks ago.

In the forwards, Santiago García Botta will enter instead of Juan Figallo who is already back in his club, Saracens. Tomás Lezana , on the other hand, will have his first match as a starter in the tournament, replacing Pablo Matera who will go to the bank.

Martín Landajo , who played his last game since the start, against Scotland in June, will return to wear the number 9 shirt that before the Boks used Gonzalo Bertranou. His reserve will be Tomás Cubelli and the Mendoza will have rest.

The remaining modification is the departure of Bautista Ezcurra who will be as substitute and his place in the center of the court will be occupied by Jerónimo de la Fuente , who played a few minutes in Mendoza but who was not from the start in the national team since 16 June, when he faced Wales in Santa Fe.

In the bank there will be three new faces: Juan Pablo Zeiss , Julián Montoya and Gastón Cortes . The man from Los Matreros still did not make his debut in Los Pumas, while the hooker from Newman who lost the start of the tournament due to an injury and is now recovered. For its part, the Cordoban pillar will be waiting for its first match in the Personal Rugby Championship and against Tier 1 teams.

I assumed he meant Nelson, my old home town, so I got suitably triggered just in case.

@stargazer Matera on the 'bank' - the Argies aren't even giving us the respect of playing their A team.

I went down there for a canes game a couple years ago , apart from the result we had a good time at Trafalgar Park .Nelson’s a nice spot , good to see the provinces get ab games I doubt the pumas would sell out in one of the big cities.

[Donsteppa]

That's an "interesting" loose forward trio & reserve.

Nelson is a great spot as a little kid growing up. I last went there a few years back and there's some cool bars near the cathedral.

Ignore him, MN5.

What would a fucker who lives in Cairns know about locations? He's choosing to live in a swamp, inhabited by nasty, poisonous biting creatures - and that's just the people, don't get me started on the wildlife.

In fact, do. Go to the beach - get eaten by a crocodile. Go for a run - get bitten by a snake. Go for a shit - get bitten by a spider. Go anywhere and get bitten by dengue-ridden mosquitos or some other fucking insect largely unknown to science.

Go to the pub and be entertained by Tex Morton and his pet bantam, Stu - singing "Blue Bayou" - a song about living in a swamp.

In summary, he wouldn't know a good location if it bit him on the arse - and in Cairns it probably will!

@chris-b thats before the fact it's so hot you need to go swimming, but oh no, cant do that cos the beach is closed; Stonefish, Jellyfish, sharks, more snakes, Salty's and god knows what else!

[Chris B.]

@taniwharugby It's got a "Donald Trump's Shithole" stamped all over it!

[MN5]

....and they've got XXXX which makes Lion Red look good.
