    Got a feeling on the bench they will go for Christie over Roigard as well , experience needed

    can we get one of the "fluffy bunny" filters set up for the word "experience"?

    experience at being bang "average"? he's only got 19 tests so hardly a veteran who has been through some shit and come out on top...playing smith for 60-70 minutes is the fucking experience we need

    Ask yourself, in the last 15 minutes when everyone is tiring, and we want someone to do something brilliant that might just turn the game, does Roigard or Christie spring to mind?

    i say this as someone that actually quite liked christie...roigard every day...its just such an obvious step up

    This week I sort of feel the same as the Aussies fans did last week.
    Hoping we win and keep the WC dreams alive, also in the back of the mind thinking we could be going home after this weekend, what a shit feeling.

    We have more hope than they did!!!

    The hope will ultimately bring you down with this team. I am resigned to NZ not winning the cup. We may lose this weekend or the next or the next. It will most likely happen. I have accepted that. As a result I am not at all nervous about this week.

    I still want NZ to win though and they have my support.

    I'd forgotten that Barnes reffed the third Irish test...

    Interesting that BBBR can point out the quality of Ireland's ruck play and their exit, and yet we aren't particularly good at either...

    I wonder if the TMO should ultimately be replaced by AI. Just as chatGPT can rapidly summarise large amounts of information into a document, surely they could do the same with replay decisions. Set parameters, and allow the tech to see what are considered correct decisions, pretty soon it will get the idea and probably be far more consistent than the guys doing the job right now

    Its all about setting parameters. I don't know if you have used chat GPT. The tech is amazing. Build a bank of correct decisions, especially in terms of tackling, and it could be taught to match up similar situations and make a ruling based on that

    @canefan not sure I'm with you then.

    Wouldnt you be setting parameters for it to allow stuff to be let go?

    It is either a knock on/forward pass, or it isnt, it is through the gate or it isnt, no leeway really?

    I wouldn't use it for everything. The thought occurred because I read that article about Irish test 3 and Porter getting away with a similar tackle to Angus. AI should be able to recognise that both incidents were similar enough to warrant the same penalty

    @frugby Laulala will be in 23. Otherwise agree.

    To me it seems they like Newell as their impact man in 18, guess we will see.

    I just had flashbacks to the "tactics" employed in the last test against the Irish, i.e. putting up a bomb on every single farking attack. Good Christ I hope the Guts Trust have shelved that winning approach.

    It pains me to say it but we also don't really deserve to win. Ireland have been consistently excellent for such a long time and it would be kind of unfair for what is unarguably their best team of the RWC era not to even make the semis. But fůck that hippy bullshit. Those fůckers have always been baying for our blood, regardless of the opponent or situation. Would be bloody hilarious if we win because Barns missed a forward pass.

    I'm sorry but IMO that is nonsense. If - against all expectations - the ABs can rise to the occasion, play better than Ireland and beat them, they fully deserve their spot in the semis. It would be different if our win was the result of a howler by the offiicals.

    Please read my entire post. I talk in the context of prior form and consistency. God knows, we've been on the receiving end of teams who've served up shit but then pull something out of their arses when playing us.
