@mikedogz In how many of those years did we play a team like Tonga in the first test?

I looked up 2010 with six debutants - not sure I could pick them all from the lineup though!

Edit and it was Ireland in New Plymouth. Heaslip red card for kneeing McCaw, O'Gara yellow for taking out player. not a good day for Ireland.

Regatta is generally a safe bet, their website indicates that are showing it, whether the sound will be on is another story…

Screens are one thing, sound is something different.

The match is a confirmed sell out.

Excellent

About fucking time

No Quarter

We went straight into the test series against Ireland with no warm up games either, if memory serves me correct. Last year we went straight into the RC without any warm ups, though that was a condensed year due to the RWC.

I feel like we are giving the Northern sides an advantage by not scheduling a warm up against at least one of the Island nations. It also gives them a chance to play a tier 1 side more regularly so win win.

@Frank Shithouse, pedantic, weird rulings/style. Oh and the TMO is French.

Scot Barrett needs to work on talking to the media. Not a great interview.

I thought he was OK for the bit I saw. But kind of boring so stopped watching

@Wreck-Diver

I’m sure he will and will get a lot of support doing so.

Would be good to cut out his ‘uuuummmm’s

Yeah bit dissapointing since the last few ABs captains have been such interesting raconteurs

But they didn't speak for so long. Ardie's more interesting as is Jordie so maybe send then out to do the longer talks. Scott should keep it very short AND DO ANY talking on the filed

But not with his shoulder to someone lying in a ruck

Who the fuck cares?
McCaw was boring as fuck but a great leader on the field.
