We avoid Barnes and Garces.
No complaints with Nigel Owens officiating of the All Blacks to date.
Wasn't Owens in charge against SA in SA when they bypassed protocol on a try decision when it screened at the ground?
That was Clancy.
Owens had the Wellington test last year and one of the tests with Donald at 10 in 2009. Maybe one more Bledisloe loss in there somewhere?
Clancy, the Irishman with the French name? Figures
That would be Clancě.
Can't get much more Irish than Clancy, except maybe O'Clancy.
Alain Rolland is the Irish ref with a French name.
That's an epic fail on my part. I'll just sit in the corner and let the grown ups talk

Gotta feel for Aki (or anyone that finds themselves in a similar position) all the work to get to this, then a momentary lapse and your dreams are gone!
That plus Henshaw would have been selected for the next three games so Aki gets an extra 3 weeks off after the tournament too!
I haven't been hugely impressed with Owens this world cup. If he keeps on as he has been going, Ireland will have a huge leeway at the tackle, breakdown, ruck, maul.

@Bones as long as we adjust too...
The thing being, it requires an adjustment for us. It's Ireland's bread and butter...

Weather forecast looks shit. Is this a negative for us? The game slowing down will benefit the Irish but we are a pretty decent wet weather team as well.
it looks like the heavier rain is in the middle of the day , hopefully eased off by gametime

So supposedly a source close to the team have passed on to a mate (and so on)...so take with a grain of salt*.. Anyway they believe that unless injury occurs the team was announced internally yesterday.

- to their credit, they did predict the first team exactly, but I still have no idea who the source is. However sharing for the fun of it anyway

@bayimports Not sure about Jordie ahead of BFA but pretty happy with the rest of the team.

perhaps given now Jordie can play 10 at a push?
And @cgrant I agree surely its Ofa

@bayimports We've already got two tens so I don't think it's that.

Risky game to play two hookers. And give Aaron or Ben a debut there.

I was curious as to how good Coles would be at tighthead. Guess we'll find out.
Mobile pack anyway.

For those that are held up on numbers, its interesting.. if I go to edit mode
Smith is 9 and Coles in 16
So either a bug, or one of you funny buggers has a great edit feature

Remove the dots after the numbers and it’ll work
The software thinks you’re adding an ordered list and gets confused
