We'll be fielding Neil Jenkins and a few supporters the number of injuries we've got.
Is it that bad Mike?
If so, it's a pity for Wales who of the 2 teams, probably have the most to gain from this match. Swansong for Gatland (and Wyn Jones I think?), bronze medal and a first ever victory over the AB's....I wouldn't bet on that one, Jones (it's Alan-Wyn, not Wyn-Jones BTW) has already had more swan songs than Sinatra and he keeps coming back for more. Legend or nutter? Bit of both I guess.
Ah. Thank you for pointing that out. I genuinely didn't know.
I consider myself suitably schooled and will administer the requisite uppercuts accordingly."and a first ever victory over the AB's...."
More schooling, Wales have beaten the ABs, it was just a fair while ago

The play-off for the Rugby World Cup 2019 bronze medal between New Zealand and Wales will be available live on Spark Sport and with a one hour delay on TVNZ 1 on Friday 1 November. The match was previously scheduled to stream solely on Spark Sport, but the Spark team has made the decision to show the match with a one hour delay on TVNZ now that the All Blacks are part of the play-off.

at least we have three gold to with it!

I don’t care what people think about the merits of the match but if we lose to Wales it’s an unmitigated disaster.
I’d be confident the team will include all those retiring or moving overseas and that we will win handily enough.

Rather him than Garces again

Wayne Barnes given the whistle.
Whippee doo.
I think Wayne should go out in style by disallowing Wales a match-winning try off a pass that clearly went backwards.

Nup. He talks too much.
I like that young French ref. Reckon his game management is very good.

The threepeat is back on! -
The All Blacks will become the first team to win three bronze finals if they beat Wales this weekend. It’s coming home! -

Barnes has morphed into a pretty good ref IMHO.
Way, way better than Garces & Poite. (not that's much of an endorsement)

Well, I guess the 1953 Welsh win was fake news.

Not to mention 1903 and 1935.

Deans scored in 1905.
1935 was probbly fake news.

The 1953 Wales win was the subject of one of the best sports books I've ever read - Dragons & All Blacks.
Highly, highly recommended.
