Stop it. You're making me nervous.
The rugby gods feast on the nerves of the supporters and punish the smug!
No NZer should be watching this game except from behind their couch!
can i suggest also a pub...so we're close to alcohol and sympathetic shoulders?
The pub???
Hell's bells, man.
There may be people there likely to say such things as, "Oh well, it's only a game".
Or, even fair-weather Springbok supporters.
No. Behind the couch is the only place. I've already put my third case of beer in there. The first two have been drunk already, because I'm spending most of my week in there!

i think i'll just make sure i am hellishly hungover again so i remain numb throughout
-
Nepo to replace fletcher, apart from that same 23as semi .
-
I am hoping for focus, ball retention and straight up the guts.
Currently grinding out another 72 hrs of work pretending it's a normal week. -
Hoping to see Sami Roigard and Laulala on the bench as horses for courses. I think we need to plan a rumble through the ruck fringes to get on top and keep it energised all game, and can't afford scrum penalties in last 20. Start xv stays same although I would prefer Dmac to Beauden to tire the Boks quicker in defence.

The leaked team also has Brodie staying on the bench
-
Have a bit of concern with Nepo finishing the game more so from his around the ground work. Have visions of him being stepped around and the Boks scoring match winning points.

Newell got a bit owned off of the bench vs Boks in London and to a lesser degree France opening game.
Given scrum strength for Boks off of the bench Laulala makes sense to me.
Agreed though there are risks both ways - Laulala can be a worry during phase play - though from memory was excellent vs Boks at Mt Smart.

I'm at a family weekend in Kent for the Final. I have a choice of watching it with Mrs M's children and young grandchildren (neither are really all that into rugby) or slinking back to the hotel and watching it on my own.
I'm taking a half-bottle of Single Malt and opting for the hotel room.
Been invited to a kiwi mates bar in Ottawa. I know there'll be some dumb shit Canadians with no skin in the game other than for a wind up. I think I'll stay home and sink the remaining out of date Speights I have. I can't contain the rage but at least I can mitigate who sees it.

90 hours and 11 minutes til kick-off
You're welcome
Wanted how many seconds too. It’s hard to find a good counter-downer on rugby forums these days.
-
Huh, I’m surprised that worked
