Shitballs, just realised the ABs aren't being broadcast anywhere in the UK that I can see. Anyone found anything otherwise? Looks like I'll be watching after it's uploaded to across the Ta$man - @pakman you in?
I thought it was on Prime with the other AI's, but it isn't. Will do some digging - a VPN might be in order...
EDIT: STAN (with a VPN if you are in the UK) looks to be the only option so far. Will DM if I find anything else.

Nika? I’m sniffing a Georgian with Japanese heritage there. Very suss.

WR seems determined to turn this guy into a ref. A pet project.

30 mins after an AB team naming and only 5 posts about it...
Better side than I thought they'd name, the mid-field has potential, both ways!
We're going to leave a lot of points out there with Ennor as centre. I don't know why they persist with him there - he isn't a centre.
For someone who’s not a centre he’s started there a lot at test level. 100% of the time if I’m not mistaken.
Ennor was dreadful at Centre against Italy last year.
And 1-12, 14-15 were any better? It wasn't until DC came on we actually played some footy.
Edit: DC started I see but the team was complete shit not helped by a ref who turned his arse cheeks to the ABs.
The first 30 minutes or so were scrappy as you would expect with so many new players. But we won 47-9 - which is about the average points spread against Italy since we started playing them. So hardly a "compete shit" performance, esp. since Foster was giving plenty of rookies like Lord, Vaa'i, QT, De Groot & Lomax starts. It was Christie who really excelled in that match.
I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar against Japan. I'm happy with that if it gives the new guys experience and an opportunity for the likes of Sotutu to build combinations.
PS: Did you know that Foster's AB's broke the world record for the most Test tries and points scored in a calendar year in that match?
It was nothing less than rancid.

@Damo And 65,000 fans in a big stadium. If it is a headless chook, classic Foster performance by the Blacks, it could be a long night.

A couple of cards by the crazy Georgian would make things more interesting
