Springboks V All Blacks
-
I’m always underestimating.
When I predict the All Blacks by 10 they usually win by 20. When I say by 20 they win by 25+.
I won’t ever do it again.

Get on with naming the team already....ffs

Is that because you make the predication based on your Canta-blacks selection and not on the actual selection?

@shadowtrooper yep, can genuinely ask, when is the team named?
-
@Stargazer WHEN?????

@taniwharugby So everry time the ABs lose to a team, they disrespect (or underestimate) them according to this author? What a bullshit. They just made too many mistakes and the Boks played wel; nothing to do with disrespecting (or underestimating) the opposition.
I believe every now and then when we are on a winning streak a sub par performance is on the cards ,
I don’t believe it has anything to do with how we view the opposition, just our own mental edge is not quite where it should be .

5pm NZ time.
Is that disrespect for naming the time when convenient for the NZ nightly news?
-

New Zealand: Ben Smith, Waisake Naholo, Jack Goodhue, Sonny Bill Williams, Rieko Ioane, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (c), Sam Cane, Shannon Frizell, Scott Barrett, Sam Whitelock, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Karl Tu'inukuafe. Reserves: Nathan Harris, Tim Perry, Ofa Tuungafasi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Richie Mo'unga, Ryan Crotty.

@unite not sure, given they usually name at 5am which is when I am asleep, even more disrespectful
@SouthernMann that is interesting as Crotty has been doing a little bit of media this week and that is usually an indicator they are looking to start.

Hell of a long Flight for Dmac to carry water rather than be with family

After Hansen fails to read my emails and names the team on Thursday my expectations go down considerably

There’s still one more practice and if one of Barrett or Richie get hurt in that, he needs to be in Saffaland just in case.

That was my preferred starting 15 - I'd be pleased.
Not so sure about the hooker researve (although to be expected) plus no Dmac or ALB...
That reserve hooker probably had his best stint as an AB last weekend. So hopefully continues on the up.
