Careful, that's South EB. You're almost back to the bus garages there, that's pretty much Pencarrow.

About right. Welly would also be the "west bank" (sort of).

Ouch to both of you. There's always a better smart ass isn't there. Didn't think one would be from Ireland and the other from the Middle East (bourne).
Oh, and GFY's
Best ever! @MN5 is gonna be gutted he didn't think of that one.
I fucken am. That's fern gold right there.

CF snr says that was the way back in the day. You found out you had made or been dropped in real time
They used to announce the team in the sheds at Athletic Park after AB trials games with all the players - successful or not - present. On the radio.
Built character apparently.

@derm-mccrum said in AB EOYT 2018:
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

Yeah a lot of the Ozzies on the roar say the same thing. Wallabies best 7 is Pocock, tho he is a bit of a one trick pony

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
losseto 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 -
Is there a game on this weekend?
-
There is a high likelihood i won't even watch it.
Cox Plate is way higher on my agenda this weekend.

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

okay, first, who is the big chance at Ellerslie?
Second, yea man, watching Winx run is an absolute treat. Small but quality field too, picking a winner in the "Winx Out" market won't be easy.
oh, this isn't the racing thread...
We would have to be asleep to lose to the Wallabies this weekend (which has happened before)

Ricky Baker is running in the 75 1400 or 65 1400, most likely 65 as has a better draw.

@mariner4life just trawling...before TRC all the media were telling how much better it would be if we lost, then we did and OMG, the sky was falling!
I will record and watch in the morning (I rarely watch the non 7.35pm k/o matches live these days, plus as I am playing rugby myself that day, not sure if I will be able to move to do anything)

@taniwharugby I think kick off is 7pm NZ time?

@nepia is it, oh ok...just been hearing talk about them showing the game at the Auckland match, I just assumed it was afterwards.

The Meads Cup and M10 Cup finals have been scheduled so that Sat has 2 live games leading to up the Tokyo test.
