England vs All Blacks

Tu'inukuafe is much better (and bigger) than McDonnell. I won't even mention that Cantablack no.8.

Besides, Mitchell is in the other camp this Sat.

I'm not convinced SBW is better than Keith Lowen

So, which All Black is a dab hand at milking cows? Sopoaga reveals all

Lima Sopoaga, the former All Black fly-half, and current Wasps star, runs us through those in the New Zealand lineup out to beat England on Saturday at Twickenham.

Power Ranking the All Blacks based on Lima Sopoaga anecdotes

Lima Sopoaga recently delivered a handful of anecdotes about each All Black in this weekend's lineup. Naturally, we decided to rank everyone based on his assessment.

@nevorian said in England vs All Blacks:

@mikethesnow haha that would suggest England are going to score a try?

I think (think) @mikethesnow was suggesting a margin between 16 and 21. Five points isn't a 'canter'.

Correct 👍

16 Tests for the ABs is like 50 for other countries

So Jerome "we have a deal" Garces is the ref this weekend. We rarely win convincingly at Twickenham and I'm not expecting us to pump them this time. We should be on high alert

[canefan]

If he keeps it up he will supplant Barnes on my refs wall of shame

@booboo oh makes sense. But is a canter less than a trot less than a gallop. I expect the ABs in a gallop 16-45

That's a pretty wide errrr....margin you have on your margin.

@bovidae @taniwharugby Thanks. Something and nothing really though, I mean you wouldn't want them to be saying we're encouraging him to stand back and admire them would you? Really?

[Crucial]

Interesting graphic in Stuff today showing how teams use (or don't use) their reserves...

[Catogrande]

@crucial That is interesting and I think illustrates two things about NZ. Firstly that the depth is that good that it is never felt that the team is being weakened by using the bench (not sure I agree, but it would seem to be the view). Secondly that Hansen and co are very good at providing experience for a large group of players - building for the future.

I hope none of the team have ordered a Malaysian takeaway tonight.
Maybe I should go and block all deliveries scooters from the gate

Always thought you were a top man!

@crucial a Caucasian man was arrested in south west London on Friday night for assaulting Asians attempting to enter a top rate hotel, whilst screaming about not bringing sickness to the Blacks. Authorities are confused.

@bones Rieko and TJP were on South West Trains yesterday evening handing out free tickets and doughnuts.
