England vs All Blacks

[canefan]

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

[canefan]

If he keeps it up he will supplant Barnes on my refs wall of shame

@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]

Interesting graphic in Stuff today showing how teams use (or don't use) their reserves...

[Catogrande]

@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

Always thought you were a top man!

@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.

@bones Rieko and TJP were on South West Trains yesterday evening handing out free tickets and doughnuts.

[Bones]

@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.

[taniwharugby]

@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.

Police looking for Crucial evidence?

[booboo]

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.

[pakman]

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.
