I’ve never really looked at his jaw sorry
It's Kaino-like.
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?

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

I'd go for:
Moody/Taylor/Laulala/BBBR/Whitelock/Papali'i/Aioane/Savea/Nugget/Barrett (B)/Tuapea/ALB/Rioane/Jordan/Barrett (J)
Bench: Samisoni T/Ofa/Karl/Vaa'i/Blackadder/Weber/Mo'unga/Reece

BB was always going to start with this being his 100th, so not surprised.
Great to see Blackadder start at 6; not so great seeing TJP start, but maybe that's because of preferred combos? TJP-BB and Weber-RM?I'd probably have picked Reece over Jordan, but they picked the right set of wingers.
Is Ofa injured?

Happy in the main with that team. Hats off for BB for making 100 tests.
Disappointing that we are not starting Akira. We need to trust the power. I continue to be disappointed that we are not selecting younger Half Backs ahead of TJP.
