RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwiinmelb i think if he was...and we lose....then we'll find a way to make it at least partially his fault

[BerniesCorner]

If DMac and Roigard aren't there I give up

fozzie in the aftermatch - "learnings after that loss are we should have played DMac and Roigard"

@kiwiinmelb guess we will see once the team is named, but surely we have become accustomed to Fozzie throwing selection curveballs?

Well there is a team going around that has Lester replacing Telea , but that is partly injury based,

But also has Christie on the bench ,

just repeating whats going around , im just the messenger, dont shoot me

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwiinmelb @george33 has already debunked that and they have the good oil

i hope hes right,

Fozzie might be throwing fake leaks out there , crafty bugger .

It's a bit more like supporting the Black Caps, we know we have the players that can beat anyone on their day, and by fuck it'd be funny if we knocked the #1 team out of the tournament, but we probably won't. But that chance gives the game some added excitement.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwiinmelb yep, Foz been playing the loooooooooong game, all coming down to this moment...almost blew it last year, but got the boys up in SA to steady the ship, then returned to the hustle...

Honestly, it's their phase play that's the really dangerous weapon. Sexton very rarely gets involved apart from directing. JGP is the lynchpin there and without their phase play they're just SA lite.

Jesus NZ is full of dreamers, 15% at ABs 13+

[Kiwiwomble]

....i mean...15% is not very full though is it?....like if my pint glass is only 15% full im not thinking its full of beer

[mariner4life]

i think a Stuff poll where over 40% are picking the ABs to lose would be considered very pragmatic i reckon

in fact that's pretty bloody close to our own TSF poll. A forum packed to the rafters with people who think we fucking suck

[Bones]

And did I just see Christie is a chance for the bench? Zero surprise here, Fozzie gonna foz.

Really? Foz is obviously keen to flame out on his own terms

Well I'm hoping it's me that's dumb, NZH official prediction

Score prediction
New Zealand 34 Ireland 26

Ireland’s side are due to be named tomorrow (Thursday), meanwhile, the All Blacks are set to be named on Friday but it appears the selectors have a full squad to choose from..

[taniwharugby]

@Machpants Friday our time or Friday Fozzie time?

Wasn't there a period where it was consistently named on a Thursday, hence the old "when's the team named"
