    Agreed. The guy who made it was Welsh

    Considering the worst-tackling No.10 in O'Gara's era was Wales' Stephen "Revolving Door" Jones, look likes a classic piece of Youtube fake news...

    Some info from Japan:

    The Bledisloe 3 test is far from a sell-out; still many tickets available.

    The following players from the 51-man ABs squad will play for World XV in Friday night's match against Japan: Dillon Hunt, Jackson Hemopo and Nehe Milner-Skudder.

    Other notable NZ players in that World XV squad are: Andy Ellis (c), Ma'a Nonu, Wyatt Crockett, and the side is coached by Robbie Deans and Scott Robertson.

    There are also quite a few South Africans (Adriaan Strauss, Willie Britz, Harold Vorster, for example) and Australians (a.o. Sam Carter, Ben Alexander) in the team , as well as Leonardo Senotore (Argentina) and Tonga's Nili Latu.

    Apparently Reece Hodge has broken his ankle. Rumours Folau will move to centre.

    Haha oh shit not much point selecting wingers if the ball has to go through him.

    Hooper plays most of his game on the wing anyway, so no loss

    The funny thing is that Hooper would make a decent midfielder

    It’s a pretty decent trick though. The problem is the balance of the losse forward trio.

    Aussie haven’t had a decently balanced loose forwards trio since Finegan, Smith and Kefu were doing their thing.

    Not as much as Ardie would.
    In fact Ardie would be head and shoulders better 😉

    Not a very good one.

    Verb
    losse

    to let, to allow
    to let have
    to leave undone
    to leave in possession

    Doesn't feel like a Bledisloe test week. Could be because it's a dead rubber? Maybe because it is in Japan? Maybe because it's already Wednesday and Hansen hasn't baited Cheika yet.

    Don't expect the last one to happen this week as the most rancid bait will be saved Eddie no doubt.

    Plus the team hasn’t been named yet.
    When is that by the way?

    This post sounds so familiar...
    If I could be arsed, I'm sure I could find similar ones from last year pre-Bledisloe3

    Amen!!

    We will be tearing back from Ellerslie (hopefully after another win this week)and then settling in for some Winx Magic.
