"It is" great being a pedant.

I think the worst of the dark clouds is blowing over for me. Still gutted as but hey, we were beaten by a better team on the day. Keen to see how we respond against Wales, and don't want to miss the last appearance in black for the guys moving on. I think our tight 5 is going to ignite ALL of the remaining powder!!

That was s pretty good meme. In 2009. And if you ignored every other cup that wasn't the World Cup.
It appears to have been made with the England Soccer team in mind.

@Toddy I first noticed this in the Lions series. Of course, I want the All Blacks to be humble and gracious.
But in the past couple of years, it has spilled into political correctness. Never winding the opposition on there coach up. Talking about out wonderful our opponents are. Etc.

I want Rieko to go well but if he does it's going to piss me off that the coaches didn't play him back into form in the lead up to the WC.

@No-Quarter his job will be easier if our forwards front up...

You don't think he's playing a different mind game? The pressure discussion on Ireland worked a treat. Pity he couldn't bring it against Eddy

I was a little underwhelmed by bridge to be honest ,
Was all for his selection initially, but in the end , just think he Lacks a little strike power .

Really looking forward to this game. I kind of get why some fans don't value the 3rd/4th place match up but I don't share the perspective. I want to see how our guys perform post last weeks drubbing. If we thrash Wales...which I am hoping they do, then last week was a blip...like Perth. Still not great and an indication of an underlying issue. If they win/lose a close one then that's the level we are at, there's work to be done but the basic platforms are solid. If we get thrashed then we need a major overhaul at all levels.

I would just like to see us come out and rip into everything.
theme song for today .. Bob Marley redemption song

Fox Sports team predicting AB's will win with a big margin...lets see...

NZ Lots - Lot Less Wales
Best we can hope for is to score more tries today than we have in the tournament to date
Let's have a high scoring barn burning thriller

Funny how front rows in every team look similar.....
