@voodoo said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test: @mariner4life said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test: 3 weeks ago we picked 5 locks, now we have 2, after 1 game. That's quite the attrition rate. One assumes Patty T will come straight on to the bench. God help us if one of the starters goes down early. Didn't you play lock bro? Time to book a flight... Lol considering even at my playing weight I was about thr size of Ben Smith this place would fucking erupt I mean, even I would log in to rubbish my selection

@mariner4life isn't that the beauty of the fern? i would say even the worse AB was an order of magnitude better than any of us...but we call them shit and we'd all put on the Black jersey in a heartbeat if asked

I was a toss of a coin away from AB selection. No - sorry, the point I wanted to make is that I'd be crippled for life in the first tackle, so I am "unavailable for selection"!!!

Surely any 10 anywhere in NZ is in with a chance following that precedent.

@Nepia Mitch isn't without hope. @Kiwiwomble is right - and you never know whose Mum is reading your posts! (Who was posting about SP wearing his AB gear on the golf course?)

@Chris-B said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test: and you never know whose Mum is reading your posts ha, well I can assure you there have been (are still) some relatives of NPC/Super players on here, IIRC there was a mother at one point too....or at least someone in the whanau using the mums email account

One assumes Patty T will come straight on to the bench. God help us if one of the starters goes down early. Me too. On the plus side, he's experienced and a good leader. I recall 1 or 2 games when Pat T really stepped up, plenty of others when he was OK to anonymous. If he's in the 23 (as appears likely) let's hope it's the former.

Harder, faster, meaner, they play another game But fuck yes I will keyboard warrior the shit out of them, because I'm not comparing them to me, I'm comparing them to their peers Clean a ruck Ardie you faerie!!
