The Silver Fern

I think Tomás Albornoz has had some stellar games, but I might confuse them, the Argies all look & sound the same to me for some reason (it's racism. I'm racist).

Sacha Feinberg-Mom... Mong... The South African kid.
Even though the Saffers (at least their government) love their gays-and-jews killing Palestinians, they have unearthed quite the jew...el at first five. Should have been sent off for an early shower against Ireland, but man, what a breakout season for the guy. Flashes of brilliance amidst otherwise solid showings.

Ardie Sa- hah, who am I kidding, it's Ben Earl. Weighs 200 kgs and runs like Usain Bolt. If you believe the English press, that is. He is still a very good player, bulldozes his way through other would-be contenders, who would rather flaut their godliness in the Social Medias

Pieter-Steph Du Toit. If ever there was a player deserving of winning the POTY award three times it would have been... Richie McCaw. Ah, he did win it three times. Well, he would have deserved a fourth and fifth time, probably, because he was so good.
What was I talking about again? Ah, Pieter-Steph Du Toit is a brilliant player, tackling machine, never runs out of gas and doesn't need an invisibility cloak because he's not a jackal like McCaw was. Wow, McCaw was so good, loved him stealing the ball upside down back then... Remember his try vs South Africa in the corner to tie it up before Dagg scored the winner?
Anyways, Pieter-Steph is excellent.

P.S: Did I mention who my favorite player ever is?

Eben Etzebeth has come leaps and bounds from the overhyped Brüno-lookalike from the mid 2010s to being a powerhouse lock any team would love to have

Malcolm Marx because, even though he might not be the best lineout thrower, he is a very good player - especially at the breakdown - and it is not his fault that Rassie should have been sanctioned far more for his tirade during the BIL tour in 2021.

Red Card for me, horrendous tackling "technique"

Kolisi must be one of the worst singers on Rugby fields, which isn't that important, but had to mention after that performance

This must be some system with coming to the inside and leaving the wing unmarked. What shit defence

Embarassing defensive performance

@sparky said in Wales v All Blacks:

Simon Parker and Scott Barrett have been rather invisible.

I noticed Scott Barrett very visibly conceding an unnecessary lineout penalty by tackling a lifter. Haven't noticed Parker.

@Tanifulla said in Wales v All Blacks:

Reiko has been good so far too.

Only conceded 14 points by jumping at the bait instead of trusting the defence

Second time Ioane didn't trust the inside man and ABs paid for it again

Suck it Razor you loathsome looking lunatic

Race to the bottom with these teams

@sparky said in Wales v All Blacks:

Weirdly low key build up. No one yet asked when the team is going to be named?

When the ABs lost between 2010 and about 2020, I usually felt pretty gutted (2017 BIL test with SBW's red card the lowlight), like it ruined part of my day. Ever since Fister's reign and then especially since Robertson took over, I've become a bit apathetic. Also, Wales look pretty shit right now.

Wow, tuned in at 21-0 and then watched from 65 mins onwards, Argies absolutely immense in those last fifteen. Townsend pulled a Razor during half time, it seems

Prendergast looks like a circa 2008 random internet video of some Russian getting out of the car to start a brawl.

At least England deserved the win. They've got some good players and played decently well.

Whoa Cunningham-South has the body of a fat lesbian
