So let's not go looking for early excuses.
Oh no when Kiwis say it, it is level-headed rational explanation

be like soap..
Luckily the Aussie forwards will bend over first then..
Let the best country who still don't know who their government is be the winner on the day.. -

The EOYT squad is usually named the Sunday after the Bledisloe 3 test and the Mitre 10 Cup semi-finals, so - if it's the same this year - that will be Sunday, 22 October.
There is no point trying this factual stuff around here.The team will be named on a Thursday.

@unite The Bledisloe 3 team will normally be picked from the RC squad, but obviously - because they've come home from travelling - they could call up players who are not in the squad if they wanted to.

Hi! Iām from wales but a huge all black fan,will be going to the game in Cardiff with my son (which will be his 1st all black game) anyway was hoping to go take him to their hotel to get a few autographs and was wondering if anyone knows what Hotel they staying at? Thanks š

@family-man Hi, awesome to take your son to his first AB match! Enjoy! I don't have an answer to your question about their hotel, but you may want to follow the All Blacks' and the players' social media accounts. Sometimes they organise open trainings or other events in the cities where they are staying, and there are usually opportunities to get autographs etc.

Hi @family-man another thing to watch for is opportunities at an adidas store or outlet. Usually lots of sponsor stuff happens when in the NH

@stargazer Cheers
So will Hansen give those that have had a heavy work load a spell and use a few of the squad that have had little minutes over the RC in this one? With the current injury list that is likely to be pretty risky I would expect. Wallabies have been steadily improving over the RC since the first RC match.

Referee: Wayne Barnes (England)

Sounds like Matt Duffie will be on the All Blacks end of season tour,spoke to a family member a couple of days ago,he's been told to put his November wedding on hold,great reward for a player that's got incredible ball skills when it comes to anything in the air,not to mention deceptively strong and quick..!
Could spell the end of the Bus..! -

Hi Leyton.

Not sure whether Liam Napier's opinion is based on any rumours or facts ...
The All Blacks are unlikely to call up a replacement for Nehe Milner-Skudder in the final Bledisloe Cup test in Brisbane next weekend. Waisake Naholo, in top form in his return to test rugby against the Pumas in Argentina and again with Taranaki in the Ranfurly Shield defence last Wednesday night in New Plymouth, is expected to take Milner-Skudder's spot on the right wing for the Wallabies. With Rieko Ioane on the other wing; Damian McKenzie at fullback and David Havili proving he, too, is comfortable with the step up, the All Blacks have plenty of cover for now. That alone speaks volumes with Milner-Skudder joining Israel Dagg, Jordie Barrett and Ben Smith on the unavailable back three list after dislocating his shoulder in Cape Town. Provided he passes his concussion tests, Beauden Barrett offers further cover by sliding back to fullback and pushing McKenzie to the wing later in the match if needed. The All Blacks are, however, certain to include one, possibly two, extra wings in their end-of-year tour contingent. That may pave the way for Tamanivalu's return, with Matt Duffie and Julian Savea possibly fighting it out for another outside back role. ...
The next crop of New Zealand halfbacks will also have to continue to bide their time with Tawera Kerr-Barlow expected to go on the end of year tour, despite soon departing to French club La Rochelle.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has also declared he won't take an apprentice north. Rampaging Wellington hooker Asafo Aumua was favoured for this role but, if he is to make the trip, he will need to edge out Nathan Harris.

Meanwhile SammyC will be pissed off and see it as a NZR plot to disadvantage Canterbury.
