Regardless of the team.
We owe these kunts a towelling.
Into them like rabid dogs.
I want to see kapa o pango. Exocet clean outs, and Nigel’s in their debenture seats crying into their Pimms and Diet Coke.
Let’s fucking have it.
Less exocet cleanouts. PSDT did one last week. Didn't work out too well.
The croccodile rock'nroll is the new tune.
I want to see heads coming off like akin to when a teenager dismembers a daddy long legs limb by limb.
Now I know you're trolling
I just want to see serious mongrel. Not backward steps.
Genge put on his arse.
Sinkler mauled over the advertising hoardings.
Marcus Smith asking his agent to reconsider the love island contract.Farrell renewing his truck driving license.
Allblacks by 20
I'll add, I wanna see them going backwards so hard, Johnny May (why do Poms and the Micks insist of referring themselves as Johnny etc?) packs on the blindside again.

A reserve 9 who was launched out of the squad as yesterdays man and is now back in the squad.
Makes perfect sense to me. Fakatava getting injured reduced his options for the 3rd halfback role. Christie wasn't that flash last week & TJP grabbed his chance & did pretty well.
But hadn't Weber usurped him at some time this year? If I recall correctly?
Christie, Favakata & now TJP have usurped Weber

Happy enough with that. Would not have DH and ALB on the bench though.
Think that’s the end for Akita just has not taken his chances.
Delighted for Telea. He did take his chance and gets a deserved start.
Akira is far too loose for England IMHO
The only one I would swap is David Havili for a winger. I would have Shaun Stevenson personally and cannot believe that he has not been picked for the Full AB's. That or Sevu Reece. Any body but DH. He has shown fuck all at this level. I hope to fuck Will Jordan get better for next year. I think ALB is just rusty and I rate him. Akira Ioane has so much promise. Cannot understand why he has not made the step up.
-
@canefan How is he too loose? He's been playing tight, close to the ruck all season, a role he is unfamiliar with as he is more of a wide running 6/8 which is more his game, and has done a decent job in there. Not fussed at the same time that Frizzell is there, and Sotutu also gets a reprieve, so I expect to see Ardie potentially spend a bit of time at 7, unless Sotutu doesn't come on at all.
I swear some people just complain for the sake of complaining on here lol. There's nothing wrong with the side. There's a couple of spots up for grabs heading into the WC, but compared to the shambles of a side we had in 2019, we're in a better place now than we were then, despite the people who want Fozzie to fail.
-
If we can get some ascendency going into the last 20 with scores close or leading, Sotutu on the back of a forward pack going forward is gonna be awesome.
-
Weather forecast improved, cloudy with sunny periods.
I'm hoping for a massive AB forward effort. We can do this.
Off to a London Pub. Really looking forward to this one. -
Can see them targeting CC. A little bit surprised he's starting to be honest

I cant remember the last time we played well against England
-
Pretty big game for foster ,
A win and you could argue they are now on the right track finishing off the season with 7 straight wins or whatever it is ,
A loss and it’s here we go again

Twickers is not an easy place to play for us

Yeah. We will be back to square one....
The World Cup is salvageable, but he needs to drop a bollock and start making tough decisions...Cane and Beaudy immediately come to mind.

A very predictable team. The only question in the forwards was who would start at hooker. Personally, ST starting makes more sense to me, and then you bring Taylor on in the 2nd half. As long as ST gets at least 30 mins. Barrett at 6 was a given, as I and many others said before the team was announced. I don't know what to make of the selection of Sotutu, as Savea isn't going to be subbed. If Papalii is the man who is replaced then maybe Harmon should have been on the bench. Bower's performance against Scotland is rewarded as he jumps Ofa.
A huge game to see if Ryan can get the forwards humming.
Havili on the bench is a poor selection. Put Reece there to cover the wings and add some genuine impact, ALB provides cover in the midfield. Most importantly, there is less disruption.
Clarke to score a double.
-
I don't give a flying f*** if the ball doesnt get passed Jordie.

“Playing England is something we don’t get to do often so we are excited for the challenge.”
Foster certainly won’t go down as a groundbreaking innovative orator.

Sotutu, ALB and Havili are a strange bench.
They will disrupt rather than supplement the starting line up.
Each of their introductions (barring direct injury replacement) will involve a reshuffle.
Jordie, Rieko, Ardie and Dalton are 4 of our 5 best players, Samisoni being number 5.
You aren't hooking them unless they are on one leg.

I actually think TJ and Weber have surpassed Christie and Fakatava, and would be close to WC selection next year.

Lol how does Caleb Clarke keep getting picked? Why not move Telea to the left and bring Reece back in at 14? He’s a lot more dangerous.
