RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia

@Bovidae said in RWC Week 2: All Blacks v Namibia:
Dane Coles is about to achieve something no All Black has for 102 years.
When the veteran hooker is injected off the bench in Saturday’s (NZ time) Rugby World Cup match against Namibia in Toulouse, he will, at 36 years and 279 days, become the second-oldest All Black of all-time.
Ma’a Nonu still looks in good enough nick to smash this record out of the fucken park
As a back no less.
I’d take him over any 12 in the squad, even Jordie.

@nostrildamus maybe....i mean Dmac has over a hundred super games and 41 tests....you'd hope he wouldn't need too much baby sitting
I just don't see the need to play BB against Namibia.
Whilst I agree in isolation in relation to BB, as I said somewhere else, keeping BB for this game gives you a better look at Roigard and DM
Throwing WJ into 15 just makes the backline potentially even messier
I think playing BB this game is completely about seeing other players rather than him

Coles is older than Whitelock?

Havili, ALB, Clarke, Beaudy.....fucking hell
Is it me, or is that starting XV very similar to the one that ended the game against France?
Maybe they are looking for more cohesion/game-time from the A team replacements.
TWM do watch the breakdown!

That is a sensible counter argument but I'm trying to build myself up into a dark maelstorm of despair here!

@nostrildamus my bad, apologies!

Hoping the guys deliver a strong performance, no significant injuries and no cards.

Wonder if it's a nod to Namibia. Sign of respect as we don't play them in the 15 man game much (if at all)?
