All Blacks v Argentina - Nelson
-
.
.
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.@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.

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!

I don't see why Read couldn't cover 7, with what we now expect from our openside.
Read has covered, and ended up playing at 7, before. He was much younger then of course!
It will be interesting to see if L Whitelock comes on to play 6 or 8.

@chris-b triggered as fuck.
Enjoy the Jnr ABs game you've been given
@mariner4life You'd have been disappointed if I'd not bitten.
Give my regards to Stu on Friday and Saturday nights!

And punctuation?
As Mark Richardson used to say no one likes a corrector.
As Mark Richardson meant, if he was smart enough to realise it - "nobody who always gets shit wrong likes a corrector".

Fuck... spelling and punctuation are about the only things I get right in life - and not even them all the time. Hence the focus.
Also - glad to see irony, in all its forms, whether intentional or not. -

Ian Foster explains why Mo'unga wasn't released for Mitre 10 Cup (video in article):
The more and more I hear Foster talk I think we are in good hands going forward after Shag.
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Foster talked up a storm for the Chiefs too. He's a likeable man, who knows a lot about rugby.
What he couldn't do was sustain good performances in his teams. Something was wrong with the way he mentally prepared them. The Chiefs were fragile, even when winning.
Also he couldn't sack his favourites. Promising players who were promoted but didn't deliver (de Malmanche, say) were never dropped.
He's not a terrible coach, but we have better options.
Please don't compare those swamp rats from the Waikato to the AB environment thats like comparing a zephar to a procshe

We're talking Chiefs, not Waikato.
The year after Foster left, the Chiefs team won the Super Rugby competition. So perhaps it wasn't the environment after all.
If Foster is head coach of the ABs, expect the same. Some good wins punctuated by inexplicable losses. Good stretches followed by terrible ones. I do not miss the Jon Mitchell or John Hart eras, and do not want it repeated. They both talked a good game too.
The quality of players will only ensure wins if the selector picks the best players in the first place, and motivates them correctly.

Didn't John Mitchell have quite a good strike rate for the AB's? Third best after Hansen and Ted?
