<p>if you going to be the crazy Blues fan, at least be realistic and start fangirling over SBW</p>

<p>13 in a row</p>

<p>how bad would the scoreline have been if the aussies hadn't bugged the ABs room</p>

<p>Do Hansen & co even talk to Super Rugby coaches about All Black selections? Why would they have any input other than updating Hansen about a players physical and mental fitness at the time selection decisions have to be made?</p>

<p>perhaps that's how Ofa became an AB.....Shag had too many meetings with ultra-optimistic Sir JK</p>

<p>This is a lot worse than what the Chiefs allegedly did during their Mad Monday. Expect to see Coles sacked tomorrow</p>

<p>Anyone know if Coles is playing?</p>

<p>Yes he is!</p>

<p>replace them with mild mondays</p>

<p>if its 50000, then it would average out at 337 words per game. I think thats ok. Though the price is a bit high - maybe pay that price if he does a signing</p>

<p>who do we replace him with? Naholo, Smith and Dagg as the back three, but omitting Julian will open a spot in the wider squad. Maybe pick Moala as centre/wing cover?</p>

<p>what constitutes success and failure for this? Will we be happy with a medal or does it have to be gold?</p>

<p>how about the game in Argentina? any chance of slipping up in that?</p>

<p> How do you not overcome a side one man short for 60 minutes? Ridiculous</p>

<p>Ask the Springboks</p>

<p>Ben is listed as 94kg (and 1.86cm) in the ABs/Wales series programme</p>

<p>Does anybody like the new bonus point system?</p>

<p>The series are good fun. You really appreciate seeing the other teams now, knowing that they won't be back 2 years later. Would really love it if they could somehow agree to a Springbok tour (or ABs in the Republic). Maybe they could do it when the Lions are in Australia, and the Argies can play France</p>

<p>I'd like Sopoaga to start</p>

<p>Ben is the best full back and the best right winger in world rugby.</p>

<p>nice to see Beaver getting some recognition. Captain Beaver!</p>

<p>Sivi was pretty bloody good , he could play fullback too. I was at the second lions test in 2005 and he had a huge game , not far behind Richie for my motm .</p>

<p>was the second test the one where DC played the perfect game?</p>

<p>when Messam returns from 7s duty maybe he can try to copy Grey's antics</p>
