England vs All Blacks

@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.

@pakman you're fucking joking me! Free tickets. They were a struggle to find at the club even for 150...
I kid you not. But if you don't have big tits you'd probably have scored the doughnuts! BTW I got a pair for 75 each via Team All Blacks. Not great seats, though.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.
I'm in fucking Wales, in the middle of a fucking typhoon, with a motorcycle as my mode of transport, and a weekend of full day “meetings” clashing with all the rugby.
Cold, pissed off, and some other pricks, probably english, are getting free tickets to Twickenham. -

I've got some pretty sizeable moobs these days.

@catogrande no, I think there needs to be a certain amount of admiring, afterall, this is the best team in the world he gets to watch close up.

@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.
Police looking for Crucial evidence?

Of the apparently 16 players missing for Ingalund is it possible to get a list and rank them in terms of their position?
As an example NZ is missing the number one and number three ranked LHPs (Moody, Hames).
Even just a list so we can start trying to work out how badly affected the Poms actually are.
Thanks in anticipation.

In forwards Vunipola (M and B ) missing and would be in top 8. Launchbury, Curry (T) and Robshaw all out and they are borderline starters. That takes a lot of bulk/go forward out.
In backs Tuiglai would have been in 23, and Watson a starter.
A fair number of other lesser lights. Jonathan Joseph would be close to starter and second and third best LHs and no. 2 (and possibly no. 3) no. 8s crocked.

Shit, I just had the visual of multiple London based ferners creating competing moob-cleavage, parading around in front of ABs.

Why can't the system handle negative likes 👎🏾?

Would it look something like this?

Tuilagi's fairly theoretical these days, given how long he's been off the scene. Wouldn't say he's a guaranteed to have been in the 23. In fact I've not seen anything to suggest he's actually still injured this week. Joseph and Watson are the main losses in the back line.
Talk of 16 players out is a little disingenuous given the players missing tend to be clustered in a few positions as you say. Definitely bare bones stuff at loosehead (Vunipola, Genge, Obano, Mullan and Marler if he counts out) and 8 (B Vunipola, Simmonds and Hughes). Still got first choice (or close to) options at lock, TH and hooker. A bit make shift on the flank.
Backs in general have a few out, but it's still not a million miles away from first choice. Players like Ashton and Slade (despite his poor game against SA) aren't the worst options to come in. Not a fan of Te'o at 12, but Eddie seems to like him.
Injuries certainly shouldn't be any kind of excuse if it goes badly wrong tomorrow
