World number 1 again if we win
I've been to Hereford twice, one fun (marine counter terrorism in a lynx)..
The Eurasian variety? You bastard, they're endangered.
(NB "counter terrorism" is a pretty good description of the state of the kitchen after I've been cooking there, according to her indoors).@nostrildamus said in Wales v All Blacks 30th Oct NH Tour:

Jordie needs to take all the goal kicks. No mucking about. The guy has had a rough deal last year or two from the management.
Sheesh, put the violins away, he's played nearly every test in the past two years. But agree, he should take the kicks. He's the best of an, compared with what we're used to, average bunch.

@mn5 I don't know, pretty big/long torso, not much neck, and have you considered that chin?!
I’ve never really looked at his jaw sorry

Taine Basham is a great name, more so if he was a prop!

It is a classic Fern conversation.
@mn5 doesn't believe the weight mentioned for Blackadder.
I joke it may be due to his sizable jaw, and provide a picture.
@mn5 then says he never really looked at jaw IN THE PICTURE!Maybe I'd have got somewhere if I said Blackadder is a fine test player for the West Indies and one can tell by the size of his guns?

Stuff not talking absolute bollocks, which is nice

It will be anything but a walkover and could be a great game to watch.
In some ways, I wouldn't be gutted if Wales won.* They play an attractive style of Rugby, the fans are knowledgeable and great post-match company and there seems less of the tribalism and bullshit you can get from other countries.
*In some ways...still want a 20+ point AB win

Wales fans are different class to everyone apart from the Scots, French and Japanese. I like most of their players too.
Still want to see them crushed by 50 points though. All Blacks forever.

Ken Owens out now?

I was happy to congratulate the Irish I worked with after Chicago for a well-deserved win and they were grace personified, but some of the Irish media commentators and comments from their players indicated they were classless fluffybunnies
