Fuck it. I'm 5 pages behind and not catching up. Did I miss anything?

Slight suggestion Roigard was implicated with Telea (Rugby Direct Podcast) but was a selection decision.

Anything else?

Well this aged well ...

I didn't know you could grow a shiitake mushroom cloud out of hair, that was seriously impressive, Leicester!

[Bones]

@nostrildamus even I can do that.

That scraping sound you hear as journalists run out of things to ask at media conferences....

[Dodge]

They’d be the only team in the world not doing it if they didn’t.

Saw this yesterday, press conference.
Andy Farrell and Jonny Sexton both cool as a cucumber.
NZ journalist: "Jonny, what do you think of the All Blacks aura?"
Jonny surprised " I haven't thought about it"

Cringeworthy

At least the end of two decades of suffering from Foster's inconsistent coaching marches ever closer....

It will all pay off when the ARU announces Eddie Jones replacement...

Don your tinfoil hats, its wild conspiracy time - NZ Rugby has long accepted Fozzie won't bring home the RWC this year so had entered a deal with France to ensure friendly refereeing decisions from NZ refs throughout the tournament in exchange for supporting a future RWC bid and a few test series.

The best Fozzie could hope for was taking a dive in the final so is going out all guns blazing in the quarters.

The Saffas will go out in quarters to dubious penalties and cards and a French try from a forward pass the ref missed.

The only hope for redemption are a plucky Fijian team that weren't included in the fix and England refuse to share their portion of the kickbacks with Fiji in-spite of going out in the quarters...

@Frank all blacks by 9

[BerniesCorner]

Can't believe what NZ rugby has gone through last 4 years. However whatever happens I'll accept with grace and move on.
In my world ST 2, Paps 7, DMac 15. Roigard bench. SB captain.
Super excited. Proud as hell if the AB eight can do the business. Best game since I was at RWC 2015 final.

@BerniesCorner that lineup may be what you see in 2024

You backing one of Ratima, Roe or Fakatava to overtake Cam? 😉

[stodders]

@Bones who knows. Robertson may select Mitchell Drummond 😂

@junior I saw a post in a Saffa page telling Kiwis to watch out, Suzie had been spotted in France...

[sparky]

@Derm-McCrum

I’ve seen that face from Mike Catt since Jonah Lomu ran though him and over him at Newlands in 1995.

[taniwharugby]

@BerniesCorner clearly not enough kiwis had clicked on the donation tab on Stuff and not enough subscribers to NZH premium, so they sent the budget journos?

@MajorRage said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:

Oh fuck your Foster. Seriously fuck you.

Roigard shits over Christie, everybody knows it.

You fucking arrogant Twat. So glad your gone on Sunday.

Was not going to be negative but totally agree. Foster may be a good bloke but have completely had enough of him.

sudden death matches with the enemy at the gates are not the moment to enforce protocol - absolute madness

Well said that man.
