I think it’s a good reason not to select Beauden Barrett and why he’s on the bench. Brain fades tend to run in the family
Beauden's yellow card was the turning point in the last game.
In hindsight Beaudie taking the drop goal 3 wasn't the best option either in that game. The issue with taking 3 in that scenario is with the kick off you end up back in your own half from the following restart. Would have been better off keeping England pinned back in their own half.

Interesting that the last 4 red cards by an All Black are
Ofa - Blues
Scooter - Saders
Jordie - Canes
Cane - ChiefsThis is in no way an endorsement of selecting more Highlander players

Robertson's rolled the dice with Scooter in that regard. Could be the making of him though.

why isn’t Sititi starting
Experience, I'd suggest. SP has been around the AB's for some time and Wallace hasn't. It'd be a bit weird if he's doesn't get a cap in the next two Tests though.

Um, yes it is!

this is just cruel!

@Landers92 understand Haig being there. Unsure about Gilbert

Though, after Jacobson got car5ded because he tackled with force, maybe you whiny bitches are right, and rugby really is a game for faeries now.
we live in debauched, effeminate times. Gone are the days when you only got red for having the temerity to be the best player on a team that was beating the ABs AND you laid the (legal) tackle of the decade on the AB ten.

My first thoughts , not a lot different to what fozzie would’ve picked.
I suppose when razor sprinkles his magic dust over them it will look much different.
it's a very "balanced" team, so no obvious pointers to a way they will look to play.
And in reality, there aren't THAT many ways to play winning test rugby anyway.
Fixed.

He only got a yellow for that. The red came for his karate chop to a throat 😂

@DaGrubster must be piss easy to get a black belt in NZ/France.

Not as cruel as jokes about Foster and Hansens waistlines

I like Razor having a proper press conference with journos on team naming and not a premade internally produced video.
Good shit
I think we starting to see NZR (and Razors etc) setting a more professional/marketing orientated plans with ABs. The series on Razor , and the one that got me is the ABs now have a commercial manager as part of team. Her job is to look after the sponsors etc requirements and make sure the team is sold even more. I sure this is all part of it (and quietly think we starting to see the changes od being involvd with Silver Lake). I won't be surprised to see players names on jerseys etc in near future, and anything else that will help sell things. It's the way of future.

Fuck I had forgotten about that. That was shit then, let alone now.
But yeah, it was two yellows.
That saffer pack was mean as fuck. I miss them. These days they are somehow blacker but also more homogenised.
From brutal to boring: the sanitisation of south African rugby.

The match is a confirmed sell out.
Excellent
So less than 800 or 600 tickets is still correct….
