@booboo NZ POlitics one IIRC....
Oh no wonder. Just going off the title that sounds like the most boring thread ever.
I suggest going to the "Alternative from Stuff" thread and trying to find some sort of seafood that hasn't been mentioned in the last few hundred posts.

@mikethesnow I met Mr Duckham when I was a kid - he even passed the ball to me and I got his autograph - definetly a top bloke

@pakman said in England vs All Blacks:
Anyone ever seen him play there?
I don't remember Ta'avao playing at LH for the Chiefs or Taranaki. Cron obviously thinks he can.
The only other option was Reuben O'Neill who has played both sides for Taranaki this year, and that was one of the reasons he went to Japan.

What happens when SBW leaves the field after 20 minutes then Crotty 10 minutes later?
Ardie to 2nd 5/8?
No way. He's too tall.

No way. He's too tall.
The pass trajectory is fine. From the ground via halfback to 6'2 BB to 7'2 Ardie.

That's unlike you @ACT-Crusader.
Are you suggesting a Hurricanes backline? -

Ofa is not a Loosehead, should have selected Perry.
Funny how Ta'avao and Ofa have both swapped sides.
I think I might trust Cron on this call.
Not saying it's wrong. Just noting this is the opposite to where they first played together at the Blues/ Auckland

@catogrande actually a pretty stroong looking side.
Who's missing apart from a Samoan and the Tongans?

Well, there's the Fijian... Also Curry, Robshaw, Launchbury, Watson, Joseph, all out injured and all likely to have started. Marler retired.
Edit: That sounds like an excuse in the making but not meant as so. The way we've been playing I don't think the injured guys would make a heck of a lot of difference.

If you have a system that relentlessly flogs its players 13 months a year, then you get a load of injuries. Zero sympathy.

@booboo they wouldn't be expecting Goodhue to see out the full 80 either would they?
Not really sure. Umm ... where did I discuss Goodhue?
I think that's referring to the
@gunner - What happens when SBW leaves the field after 20 minutes then Crotty 10 minutes later?
@booboo - Ardie to 2nd 5/8?So... of the 3 mid-fielders, 2 have reputations of breaking down, and the other is playing first game after an infection which causes one to "run out of gas" very very quickly.
Ardie at 2nd 5/8 suddenly looking like something that might really happen. -
@catogrande yeah, there doesn't seem a huge amount between them and those that have replaced them.

This will be a proper test of how DMac handles 15.
Yes, Ironically. All those games at 15 he played against Sth Africa, Wales, the Wobbles, Argentina. France and Scotland were a walk in the park....
