NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition
-
@machpants spoke to Jack Goodhue on Saturday,still looks ill to me..
-
@steven-harris your have to think the AB drs wont let him play if he isn't right.
Expect he won't be able to do much fitness stuff either, so maybe a role off the bench v England?
The coaches might wanna see him and SBW in the mid field, I think most fans would wanna see ALB-Goodhue.
-
And in a huuuuuge surprise, 24 players named...
Seriously, if we don't murder that team by 25 we have spent the week in Roppongi
With Folau at centre i definitely think we have missed a trick with our midfield. It's not one we need to run over, we just need their midfielders to continuously make defensive decisions. Lots of out-the-back plays to blind wingers and fullbacks?

@snowy said in AB EOYT 2018:
Glandular fever is debilitating, had it in my late teens. Took about six months to get over, could still do stuff, just got really tired.
Ruined my All Black career.
me too! got it at uni, couldn't stay awake. kept playing rugby for a while, was told that was a very stupid idea.
ruined my AB career...

@mariner4life said in NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition:
Shit midfield, are we just going to keep picking them hoping like hell they come good, but rely on ALB to come on and sort it all out?
Its a pity gesture.
ABs by 40.

@mariner4life same for me, except instead of glandular fever, it was chicks and beer...

yea well, those too (except chicks, i didn't get those)
Being small, slow, and generally hopeless didn't help much either if i am honest

Thus destroying the myth that every Kiwi who comes over here to play rugby was an AB trialist back home.

@crucial said in NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition:
I somehow think the ‘Tongan Thor’ (dumb name alert) is going to be in reverse in the last half hour. Laulala and Karl T is one fucking destroy unit of of a propping combination alone plus they will have a fresh BBBR behind giving it a nudge.
Yeah, our Islanders are stronger than their Islanders!

haha that is a running joke at the Mariners! We had a few come through "yea i trialed for the Blues" sure you did champ, and that's why you last a half in prems in Cairns.

speaking as a Blues fan i'd suggest that adds credibility to their claims....
