RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

@BerniesCorner said in All Blacks 2023:
No dinks
Squeaky clean discipline
No nervousness
DMac involved
Roigard involved
No shovel shite crabbing
Direct high tempo p n goes
Mounga kicks everything
Possibility of scraping through.
Looking forward to this more than anything since 2015These are all achievable for this group. A more simple, direct plan reduces pressure on the players, reduces the penalty count because we can do a better job of controlling the breakdown. It will be super frustrating if we don't do these things and lose playing loosely. Game plan and selection are on Foster and his group. He needs to set the team up to shine

Don't get your hopes up or it will end up in tears for you. Don't fall for Fozzie's trap. It is what his teams always do. They beat up the weak and lose when it matters.
-
I fear St Denis is going to be a total green out. I hope they shut TF up for the haka.

Ireland are the best team in the world, but we fucking owe them
Owe what or do you mean own?

So which loosies would you play against Ireland given their skill intelligence and ferocity in the rucks?
-
Blackadder Frizzell and Savea

Frizzel, Blackadder and Savea.
Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know a thing about Rugby.

I'd just hope Blackadder can learn to catch in a week.

And find a shirt to fit those massive guns of his.

Any news on TL
-
@BerniesCorner Foster will update at local time 1pm
-
@game_film you'd expect Moody would already be on a plane?
They'd have had a good idea 24 hours after when the swelling usually goes down.

-
@taniwharugby given that he was scratched, he’s probably on the way or at least got his passport ready. But big call to insert him into the squad and therefore rule out TL for the remainder. Does feel like one of those stories waiting to happen though.

@chimoaus said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
The only way we win this is by nailing our exits, play for territory, maintain discipline, protect the pill, solid set piece, dominate D and build scoreboard pressure. Pretty much exactly how Ireland play.
There is no reason why we can't deliver all of that. We match that, the "team" part, I reckon we have better individuals.
Something about the sum of the parts ...
-
The crowd will be predominantly green as well.
It's an uphill battle.
A battle we must win.
F' in come on!
