Doesn't feel like a Bledisloe test week. Could be because it's a dead rubber? Maybe because it is in Japan? Maybe because it's already Wednesday and Hansen hasn't baited Cheika yet.
Don't expect the last one to happen this week as the most rancid bait will be saved Eddie no doubt.
Plus the team hasn’t been named yet.
When is that by the way?木曜日
You're a d&*k!!!
That did make me smile as I really do want to know what time it is announced. -

It's well after 0500 Japan time, so the team naming is late!
Holy shit! More therapist's bills! Ahhhh

Ireland's ace halfback Conor Murray will not take the field against the All Blacks in Dublin on November 17.
Murray has not fully recovered from a neck injury that has kept him out of all rugby this season and it is still unclear how long it will be before he plays again.
Murray, along with Aaron Smith, the best halfback in the world game at the moment has targeted a return for the Six Nations next year."I'm itching to play, I'm pretty much fully training and I feel good. It's just making sure it's right and the lines of communication with Munster, Ireland, the national coaches, everyone has been clear and they're happy I just get it right and make sure I come back ready to go, rather than pushing it," he told media.
Murray said the injury was one that could not be pushed and he needed to be sure his neck was strong enough to return to play.
He had prepared himself with having to sit on the sideline for Ireland's Test with the All Blacks.
"As a fan, it's really exciting, this November is going to be really, really cool," he said.
But while he couldn't take part it would be an opportunity for someone else.

@daffy-jaffy Massive loss for Ireland. It would be the equivalent of us losing BBBR.

I watched the Eden Park Wallaby test again last night. We smashed them, but i didn't think we were that great. Murdered them on turn over though, and smashed them on defense. Retallic was massive, and i think BB's 4th try is the try of the year so far.
BB's kicking game was a real mixed bag, some really nice touch-finders, but his high kicks were way to deep to contest.

So he over compensated in Pretoria where they were way too short and left us vulnerable to counter attack?

Quite seriously, when is the team named? 5pm my time?
@rotated has been posting. IIRC he usually knows about those things.
I don't know for sure, but outside of RWC where WR set the deadline, but for the last few years it seems like they always try to release for Thursday early morning NZT regardless of where the game is played.

Akira was born in Japan. Might still have his j-passport. Hello, instant eligibility. How wild if Jamie Joseph rang him up this week and said "hey big fella, fancy a run next weekend against some of the loosies they picked ahead of you?"
Haha, cue AB's first ever loss to Japan, most ignominous moment in NZ rugby history, oh look at the highlights reel, there goes Akira fending off Dick Frizzle, FFSFifita and Dillon Hunt (AGAIN) en route to the tryline"
He's only one man. And there goes his ABs eligibility

Well I trust his opinion more than yours. Especially as you keep pumping Whitelock.

Relax guys..... geez...Japanese passports aren't given away willy-nilly. It is based on parentage not where you were born / or any other common sense criteria.
