All Blacks XV v Munster

So how are you Blues guys feeling about the representation of your dominant Super tight 5 these days?

slightly off topic: response to a comment to a mate about this being a strong second XV was 'would it beat the Blues forward pack'?

I genuinely had to think about it.

I genuinely had to think about it.

I think the Blues forward pack at full strength would be stronger to be honest. Front rows about even, Pat T + Darry in front, and Blues loosies stronger.

It's a pretty decent team despite the injury withdrawals, but I wouldn't expect a heap of continuity as there's: no established front row combos, no lineout combos, no 8-9 combo. There is 9-10, but then by playing Lam at 13 instead of 12 they lose the 10-12, and there's no 11-14-15 combos. Lots of good players, but could easily be a bit of a mess.

So the guys not playing this game are, I think: Ma'u, Eklund, Delaney, Parker, Higgins and McLeod.

@Chris-B you forgot Sotutu 🙄

@Bones I'm not running round with a petrol can and a box of matches.

That sounds exactly like you, actually.

NZXV selection is an exciting team with a good coach but Munster are no mugs. Hoping for a great game.

So anyone else had issues with even getting the NZR+ app to send you a login email?

[KiwiInLondon]

@Bones yes it been a massive pain in the arse for me.

You can get around it by pressing the “3 line” drop down button on the top left hand side. You can still press it even if that message comes up. Select the log in option and log in. Should stop the issue once you’ve done that

[Bones]

@KiwiInLondon yeah only problem is I don't think I have a login!

[Bones]

@KiwiInLondon did it on the website instead and all good, Chur!

Those in the UK might want to check if you can still watch on NZR+.

The match will be streamed live and free into over 150 countries (excluding New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom) on NZR+.

[Steven Harris]

Munster look very well coached plenty of deception off attacking plays

[sparky]

0-0 after 18 minutes. Anyone got an audio link?

[Steven Harris]

Plummer very fortunate with that kick from the penalty
