that is a pretty damn strong side, even more so when you look at the weapons on the bench.

@taniwharugby Must be the first time this season that they play their strongest squad and all their All Blacks are fit and healthy. Geez, 12 ABs in the starting line-up, 3 on the bench, not to mention possible future ABs and others who have been in the ABs environment.

The same Dagg that retired? Or are we talking Fred?
Neither of them really count, but get your point. Show off.

Team could be slightly stronger, we are missing Dan, Richie, Andy and Leon

They are just lucky that they aren't playing the mighty Jaguares.

@Crucial Yep Shaking at the knees at that prospect
Typical arrogant kiwi!
Kiwis rugby fans being arrogant is like a Pope being Catholic or Bears shitting in Woods
I mean the mighty Waikato Chiefs who "check notes" have a NEGATIVE points differential & won 7 games this season
They're just going to roll into Buenos Aires and win
They are on a massive 3 game winning streak
Includes beating the excellent Reds and amazing Rebels + a game play in a Suva sauna

Seem to recall, counting against that awesomeness, the Jagulars beat the Blues.
The Blues!
Woot! Woot!
But this us the Inbred Island derby thread, so enough of the awesome Jagulars

Fergie, Hoppy and Grizz would also be welcome additions. Not to mention Caleb Ralph and Ben Blair as well.

Mounga would be better served looking to play the game in the Crusaders' half.
