What the fuck was Bundee the mouth Aki yapping about at the end to Rieko?
Rieko might have mentioned how quiet the crowd was.
Crocodile Bundee was giving him an ear full. Two stags.

Well the green wave the journalists predicted was less Japanese tsunami and more Mexican mariachi.
Green wave, terrible expression for rugby. -

That’s why Ardie should be our 7
He is always very good at turning over ruck ball inside the 22. It's his attacking role that will need to change.

Is this a turning point for the ABs? I feel like we are just starting to click and some of the combinations, particularly off the bench are really starting to flourish.
What changes do we make for the French? I think Taylor will come back in for Aumua and Roigard for Ratima. I feel Tuipolotu is pushing a case to be a starter but he adds so much off the bench so pretty keen to keep him there. Wouldn’t mind Finau coming in at 6 and Savea shifting to 7.
I’d be happy with the following side tbh.
- Williams 2. Taylor 3. Lomax 4. Barrett 5. Va’ai 6. Finau 7. Savea 8. Sititi 9. Roigard 10. McKenzie 11. Clarke 12. Barrett 13. Ioane 14. Telea 15. Jordan Reserves: 16. Aumua 17. Tu’ungafasi 18. Tosi 19. Tuipolotu 20. Cane 21. Ratima 22. Barrett 23. ALB

Awful game. Neither side looked top 3 in my view.
But winning in Dublin is a statement.
Wind up is good.

@DaGrubster na. He did the best he could with a terrible ruck platform and still had some good touches
It’s no coincidence Roigard looked better when our subs started clearing rucks properly -

We really shut them down. I’ve got to say, I’d be all for starting roigard and having hotham on the bench. Ireland really need a refresh. Squad and tactics. But not our problem
Roigard is mustard.
It’s not even a conversation in my opinion.
It’s his jersey.
Nobody owns an AB jersey.

Shane Horgan - "South Africa on their day would have pumped this All Blacks team tonight"
This sort of comment explains why Ireland have never won a QF.
Ireland are ranked 1 and beat SA in SA. If you truly believe you are worthy of this, you don’t say things like the above.

What a season Sititi is having, this time last year he hadnt played super rugby, now he is a bolted on starter in the AB pack, seems in good nick too despite coming to the end of what is no doubt a massive workload he has put in, in his first full professional season, and just 22 years old!
