@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...

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

anyway, yea, Bledisloe this weekend, wooo! Can't wait...

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

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....

@nta it's a matter of perception...
All games are a trial, I played alongside and against some ABs, therefore those games were early trials.

@bovidae said in NZ vs. Aust - Japanese yawn edition:
Does the naming of this team give us any indication of who will be on the early flight to Heathrow?
Maybe only Ofa and Pat T will be in the mix but Naholo is now likely to start vs Japan.
I've been thinking this.
The unpicked: Ofa, Coles, Patty T, Fafita, Papali'i, TTT, Goodhue, Naholo, Barrett (J).
Of which JG already off and that leaves two extras.
BBBR to start against Japan.
The last bed is quite intriguing. Cases can be made for Harris, Moody, Karl T, Smith (A), Mo'unga, ALB and even Benda (although less likely).
The starting XV against Japan is going to look decidedly barbarian?!
even the fucking domesticated RA journalist has no fucking idea about the front row.
