    @ThecostlyJoel Welcome Joel!

    Crikey - the backs look a bit Super rugby level to me - strong Super rugby, but a bit short of Big All Black test level!

    how good would it be if they clicked though!

    Sometimes when players get thrown together, or in at the deep end, due to unexpected circumstances it takes the pressure off, they can relax a bit and perform really well.

    Telea is about the only other wing in the country I'd have near the ABs at the moment.

    Solid choice. Seems reliable and not prone to brain-farts

    @No-Quarter said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:

    We had a period against the French where we fucking dominated by using our big ball runners like Samisoni up the middle with pick & go's etc before going wide. Got us right back into the game when we were done for all money, and into a position where we should have won

    Yup. Spot on and I can recall that happening in a few other games as well.

    But then the players lost a bit of precision, made mistakes and we were on the back-foot again. We need to up our concentration and cut back on the mistakes.

    @antipodean do they throw a wild card in there with PGS?

    I think Sotutu is our wild card. Get that boy some game time

    Very unfortunate. Not a bad player and in this squad would probably be the reserve lock for the test matches as he was in the big 6Ns games.

    Ireland’s most powerful lock.

    @The-Docter Hey Doc, welcome to the Fern.

    In just 9hrs of Ferning you've made a bunch of decent points and about 17 spelling mistakes.

    I reckon you'll fit in well around here.

    He’s a starter with Ryan in the normal run of things. Was injured at start of 6N. Serious blow for the squad.

    Just heard from Ian Smith on SENZ that potentially another 3 players may be out with Covid...

    Surprising that it's been a decade since Ireland last played in NZ:
    Ireland v All Blacks in NZ

    There's a few AB players that are still around from the 2012 series: Whitelock, Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett

    Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett all made their debut during that series

    is it though?

    No one comes in a RWC year, so that's 2 years out.
    The Lions is another one out
    2020 and 2021 Covid

    So that's 4 tours since. 2 for France, 1 each for England and Wales.
