RWC: 3rd/4th game All Blacks vs Wales
-
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.

Reckon he's the best going at the moment
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)

Swansong for Gatland (and Wyn Jones I think?), bronze medal and a first ever victory over the AB's.
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.

1905 d'oh.
1935 was one of the least successful All Black teams (lost two tests on tour) but captained by my Mum's uncle.

Jack Manchester?
They were adjusting to the 3-4-1 scrum from the 2-3-3 IIRC. Major change in play for the AB's
Didn't they lose to England as well?

Obolensky's match I think?
-
@Catogrande Ahh, so England are the instigators of poaching then. At least they have set a high level, a Prince no less. Still I'll settle for a Tokoroa Matai or a possible Nadi Ratu.

Perhaps RWC Mickey Mouse Final is an apt thread title name for this thread as well?
