@Winger Twickenham is a shocker for atmosphere. Too far from the pitch.

@KiwiMurph yep, plenty of us here were critical of the lack of decent minutes Vaai and Lord (when fit) the last couple of years, instead relying on the durability of Whitelock, BBBR and SB, that was pretty durable TBF.

That's true but I don't think anyone was suggesting to start the inexperienced guys without a proven entity alongside them, which is largely the situation NZ are in now.

Anybody have an opinion on trusted sites for obtaining tickets AB v France 2024
Thanks

[BerniesCorner]

@sparky There's no tickets on sale at the moment on that site.
Is it likely they will become available

[Bovidae]

No Christie.

[Bovidae]

[KiwiMurph]

Pleasing to see some changes

Narawa can't have impressed during trainings.

Thought they might take a 5th lock. I presume Lord will be in and out of the squad

Hopefully Love is back to 100% fitness

Havili the luckiest

No Christie.

Am surprised it took so long for the AB coaches to realise that he's shit.

[Frank]

+1 for No Christie
-1 for Havili

I think he's been unlucky. He should have replaced Reece at HT in SD to give him some meaningful minutes. And then he received two shit passes.

Gives off the impression of being a touch casual.

Soooo AB career over for Christie?

Lord is also in the squad as an "extra".

[Bovidae]

Are we ever going to get an injury update on Samisoni Taukei’aho?

[No Quarter]

We seem to have a lot of fullbacks now if they are thinking of Jordan at 15 as well. Hopefully they are looking at Jordan on the wing.

It's no good being able to play multiple positions if you are not good enough in any of them. Havili shouldn't be near this squad, Crusader bias strikes again.

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae No need, George Bell has overtaken him permanently now.....

[ACT Crusader]

Not over until it’s over. Weepu got dropped from squads and then bought back in.

But the AB selectors will have seen how the attack changed with swifter service.

[Machpants]

Why do they insist on putting BB as a 10? He never plays there, it's just weird. I guess then they'll hav eto admit they put all their eggs in one very small brave basket!

All part of the master plan of rolling Havili out for the two Springbok tests.
