    Jesus makes you feel old when little kids who used to turn up to training with dad are representing NZ. Go on Salesi!

    He looks pretty good. The droppsie was a fuck up but he looks to have that special balance on his feet that enables him to go on after a tackle attempt. Could be a goodun.

    We are missing a stepper / ball player in the middle to create some doubt in the opposition defence (Koroi). We are going wide early most of the time and it's a bit predictable.

    Our defence has also been a bit weak (that call on a high tackle for Curry was bullshit).

    Why they made that hothead Baker a co Captain....seriously? The Fijian should get a game off for the shove in his face though.

    Yeah think so. Hasn't played since North America tournaments but can't remember what happened to him....

    @machpants Nothing that wasn't expected.

    They've added quite a few new players the last two tournaments, because we're missing quite a few players, either to injury or the NZ U20s: Joe Ravouvou, Caleb Clarke, Vilimoni Koroi, Andrew Knewstubb, Joe Webber, Ngarohi McGarvey Black, Trael Joass ...

    We've got nothing to play for the last two tournaments because we can't finish higher than 3rd anyway, and would have to play a lot worse to drop to 4th. The last two tournaments are a good opportunity to develop players and to give the newbies valuable game time against good teams.

    The Cup Quarter Final will be a tough one, too. I'd expect us to play for fifthe place again, for that reason:

    QF:
    NZ v South Africa
    k/o 10.42pm

    Higgins is delighted, naturally, to announce Ireland lead USA 17 - 00 at half time in their quarter final!

    Higgins also anticipates a comfortable Ireland victory at the aftermatch function as well!

    Now that was an example of how a shit pass from one of the Kiwis can lead to a SA try several phases later. Really sloppy.

    7 - 0 SA

    If that tackle penalty just before the sa try is deemed a head high then the game is ruined.

    Haven't kept up with the 7s team much lately.
