@l_n_p Blues supporter? I like you even more now 😀

I don’t

Any Blues fan who joined before May this year is a triumph of optimism over reality. Genuine fans, and clearly outstanding people.

Jacobson and Paps are a big loss in the loose. Blackadder has a chance to rectify the errors made last week.

A makeshift 7 is a big challenge against the Boks. I'm nervy

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus I didn't realise Paps was injured too, chuck him there and that was my preferred loose trio when we left nz to face sa

24 degrees, 70 percent humidity.

I'm not sure we've got Ardie 7/8, Akira 6/8 and bladder 6/7. As long as they are clear in their roles as a trio, should compete well

That's 2 of each position! 😜

I think Blackadder will go much better at seven. Hopefully he adds accuracy to his work rate and doesn’t miss a 100 tackles this week.

Sotutu on the bench is going to add impact too.

FFS Stan SBW talking about Akira and they have accompanying footage of Reiko. Sonny onto it though to his credit

[KiwiMurph]

@nevorian very poor from Stan.

[Nogusta]

Keep an eye on the haka formation tonight 👀

It's stretching things a bit with Akira - but, we've almost got a 6 playing 7, a 7 playing 8 and an 8 playing 6.

Hopefully it confuses the Boks more than it does us!

Home game this one, normally ok with those 😜

[MN5]

Nisbo your attempt at Te Reo was fucken embarrassing.

[broughie]

@nzzp nerves are always good. I’m confident.

HEat and refs favour us I hope. Fastish game and we should get there. Feels an underpowered AB unit though - missing SamW, SamC, Azza, and now Luke and Paps.

Edit: refs style- and based solely on the Roar article on them supporting quick ball and pinging cynical play!

Depth is really getting crazy good again

@taniwharugby said in All Blacks vs Springboks I:

@nzzp mounga, alb...

yeah, thought of those two immediately after posting. Craft beers y'all - fuzzy brain time

[broughie]

@nzzp certainly would be good to have them. Bldg depth though
