Matt Todd officially ruled out for the rest of the World Cup, Hansen calls up Akira Ioane to reunite with brother in key clash against Wales.
Owen Franks called up to get one last chance to score a try in Black.

It was caught on camera, I didn't even know they had knees.

It’s the ABs every match counts, look forward to watching them frontup again.
Yep, I'll watch it with the boy (6) who has really gotten into this WC, first time he's showed any interest in watching rugby.
Can't always win everything, sport has plenty of great lessons to teach young people - notably here that losing sucks so instead of sulking you should make sure you learn from it and improve.
Hope the ABs put on a great performance and put that philosophy into practice.

Savea, though, looks a likely absence with a knee meniscus problem. Otherwise everyone is available with Todd back on deck after a shoulder issue ruled him out for the semifinal. The team will be named on Wednesday.

@Tim haha so much could be read into (made up) from his comments...
Well I told Steve we had to start Sam, Crottz, Bender and Reek, and we should do this to counter their expected game plan, but, well, you know, he's the boss...*
*I just made that up.

Shook his hand and said well done and happy birthday. Couple of other Kiwis chimed in that they were proud of him.
Cheers, Kieran Read's a top man. May his flagon always be full.

The worst part of that article is that Foster still intends to go for the main job. FFS Tenure does not always mean talent, the amount of people who still get promoted based on age (perceived experience) over skill is astounding, NZ rugby better take note.
Fresh blood please

Sparky's team (assuming Ardie is out hurt) for Bronze Medal match:
Moody, Coles, Laulala, S Whitelock, Tuitupolou, Cane, Todd, Frizzell, Weber, Mo'unga, Ioane, Crotty, Goodhue, Reece, BFA
Coltman, Moli, Ofa T, Retallick, Read, A Smith, B Barrett, SBW
Gives more of the squad game time. Gets the players who finishing up a chance to be on the field at the end.
