All Blacks vs Ireland - series decider

[Kirwan]

@booboo team looks better already!

[kiwiinmelb]

Quite possibly the biggest opportunity in Akiras career right here and now to show he belongs at this level when the heat is on

[Kirwan]

And, again, injuries force Foster to pick the right player

Ofa and Karl T on the bench together, GULP

Or not, as my inner Jeremiah would say....

Hope he has a stormer.

Fuck this NH Comms is shithouse.

Nacewa : Will Jordan is just one if those guys that doesn't make mistakes. In fact he's barely made a mistake all year.

You've only watched Will's highlights right Isa? And that's ok, but don't make shit up.

Sitting here waiting for kick-off with a mix of excitement, trepidation, hope, foreboding and nerves.

Perhaps last week was the darkness before the dawn (but we've been here before since 2019) or tonight will be a lancing of the boil that has become our crap Test performance of late, and will force change.

I shall calm you with a shot of the capital from the Bourne.

Did Kieran Read stop eating when he retired? He has lost a lot of weight by the looks.

Samisoni Taukei'aho's All Blacks absence should raise some eyebrows

The All Blacks have made a handful of changes to their starting line-up for Saturday's do-or-die clash with Ireland but it's a change in the reserves that has perhaps caused the most furrowed brows around New Zealand.

Good luck all, let's hope for 15vs15.

[Bones]

Aki closing his eyes because he can't bear to see himself sing Ireland's Call

[MiketheSnow]

Best thing about Ireland playing away is the anthem is a fraction of its usual length

[MiketheSnow]

Nugget is up for it

[Anonymous]

That's a terrible rendition of our national anthem

[Bones]

Romper stomper Jordie! Love it

Rock anthem 🤣

[chimoaus]

If only they played as well as they perform the haka.

[Kruse]

Oh good, we've spent the week changing the formation of the haka.
That'll fix everything.

[chimoaus]

Amazing how times change, I'm happy to have Barnes with the whistle.
