Interesting Shag saying , we want to play two playmakers ,
The argument he makes seems to make more sense with Beaudy at fullback and Richie and first-five. Having two points of attack to take the defence's focus off one is a great idea in theory, but if the English defence start forcing Barrett to make errors I expect McKenzie to as well. When the poor option taking happens it seems to be contagious with those two.
I suspect that might be the longer term plan , but want to ease Richie into it ,
In this game he will get game time at 10 , Beaudy back to FB ,
I would not be surprised to see him starting next year and McKenzie back to the bench

@mn5 pretty sure when Ben Blair (our last midget 15) played at Twickers we lost...

Yes, rather worrying.
Also the following year when Caleb Ralph had a shocker too.

Tu'inukuafe is much better (and bigger) than McDonnell. I won't even mention that Cantablack no.8.
Besides, Mitchell is in the other camp this Sat.

I'm not convinced SBW is better than Keith Lowen

@tim not bad.

16 games is not a veteran.

Fucking veteran...

@nevorian said in England vs All Blacks:
@mikethesnow haha that would suggest England are going to score a try?
I think (think) @mikethesnow was suggesting a margin between 16 and 21. Five points isn't a 'canter'.
Correct 👍

16 Tests for the ABs is like 50 for other countries

So Jerome "we have a deal" Garces is the ref this weekend. We rarely win convincingly at Twickenham and I'm not expecting us to pump them this time. We should be on high alert
-
If he keeps it up he will supplant Barnes on my refs wall of shame

@nevorian said in England vs All Blacks:
@booboo oh makes sense. But is a canter less than a trot less than a gallop. I expect the ABs in a gallop 16-45
That's a pretty wide errrr....margin you have on your margin.
-
@bovidae @taniwharugby Thanks. Something and nothing really though, I mean you wouldn't want them to be saying we're encouraging him to stand back and admire them would you? Really?

@crucial That is interesting and I think illustrates two things about NZ. Firstly that the depth is that good that it is never felt that the team is being weakened by using the bench (not sure I agree, but it would seem to be the view). Secondly that Hansen and co are very good at providing experience for a large group of players - building for the future.

I hope none of the team have ordered a Malaysian takeaway tonight.
Maybe I should go and block all deliveries scooters from the gate -

@pakman you're fucking joking me! Free tickets. They were a struggle to find at the club even for 150...
I kid you not. But if you don't have big tits you'd probably have scored the doughnuts! BTW I got a pair for 75 each via Team All Blacks. Not great seats, though.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.
I'm in fucking Wales, in the middle of a fucking typhoon, with a motorcycle as my mode of transport, and a weekend of full day “meetings” clashing with all the rugby.
Cold, pissed off, and some other pricks, probably english, are getting free tickets to Twickenham. -

I've got some pretty sizeable moobs these days.

@catogrande no, I think there needs to be a certain amount of admiring, afterall, this is the best team in the world he gets to watch close up.

@bones said in England vs All Blacks:
@crucial a Caucasian man was arrested in south west London on Friday night for assaulting Asians attempting to enter a top rate hotel, whilst screaming about not bringing sickness to the Blacks. Authorities are confused.
Police looking for Crucial evidence?
-
Of the apparently 16 players missing for Ingalund is it possible to get a list and rank them in terms of their position?
As an example NZ is missing the number one and number three ranked LHPs (Moody, Hames).
Even just a list so we can start trying to work out how badly affected the Poms actually are.
Thanks in anticipation.

In forwards Vunipola (M and B ) missing and would be in top 8. Launchbury, Curry (T) and Robshaw all out and they are borderline starters. That takes a lot of bulk/go forward out.
In backs Tuiglai would have been in 23, and Watson a starter.
A fair number of other lesser lights. Jonathan Joseph would be close to starter and second and third best LHs and no. 2 (and possibly no. 3) no. 8s crocked.

Shit, I just had the visual of multiple London based ferners creating competing moob-cleavage, parading around in front of ABs.

Tuilagi's fairly theoretical these days, given how long he's been off the scene. Wouldn't say he's a guaranteed to have been in the 23. In fact I've not seen anything to suggest he's actually still injured this week. Joseph and Watson are the main losses in the back line.
Talk of 16 players out is a little disingenuous given the players missing tend to be clustered in a few positions as you say. Definitely bare bones stuff at loosehead (Vunipola, Genge, Obano, Mullan and Marler if he counts out) and 8 (B Vunipola, Simmonds and Hughes). Still got first choice (or close to) options at lock, TH and hooker. A bit make shift on the flank.
Backs in general have a few out, but it's still not a million miles away from first choice. Players like Ashton and Slade (despite his poor game against SA) aren't the worst options to come in. Not a fan of Te'o at 12, but Eddie seems to like him.
Injuries certainly shouldn't be any kind of excuse if it goes badly wrong tomorrow

@bones Rieko and TJP were on South West Trains yesterday evening handing out free tickets and doughnuts.
Now I know that is fake news because for starters finding a Southwest train that is actually running is as rare as an English back that runs at a gap. When you do find one you certainly wouldn’t be able to move around passing out doughnuts
