RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
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.

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.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.

injury aside
i think the only changes to the 23 that the coaches would have picked for the quarter back in August are DMac and Roigard to the bench, and that's through sheer weight of performance. Otherwise this was mapped a long way out

@ACT-Crusader that's nice
-
Would the fern go into meltdown if Christie was on the bench ?
-
@kiwiinmelb i think if he was...and we lose....then we'll find a way to make it at least partially his fault
