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

Bovidae

McCaw captained the ABs 111 times and lost 11 (including the Baabaas) and drew 2.

I'm still bitter.

Fuck Reads captaincy. Percentages mean zilch when he turns to water in the big game.

These All Blacks are like the dog that shit on the carpet - won't be coming inside again for about 6 months!

Bovidae

Gats has made 9 changes.

Hallam Amos, Owen Lane, Jonathan Davies, Owen Watkin, Josh Adams, Rhys Patchell, Tomos Williams, Ross Moriarty, James Davies, Justin Tipuric, Alun Wyn Jones (c), Adam Beard, Dillon Lewis, Ken Owens, Nicky Smith.

Reserves: Elliot Dee, Rhys Carre, Wyn Jones, Jake Ball, Aaron Shingler, Gareth Davies, Dan Biggar, Hadleigh Parkes.

NTA

Fuck yeah. Go squaddies!

Play with a bit of freedom.

That's a good team. With the Welsh having injury worries and a short turnaround, this could be a +25 point win.

No chicken counting

@Cyclops 2003?

You're right! Panic averted.

We're on a roll. One in a row. Looking to make it two.

I watched that on a barge on the Thames surrounded by Saffas. Good times.

Looks like it'll be fast and loose.

NZ lots - lot less Wales

@MiketheSnow Pretty sad Wales has lost some top players to injury We've just lost 2 loosies - Ardie and Luke Jacobsen before the games even started

@Kirwan I was away in Spain, so was easy to not watch.

Bovidae

Based on the team changes for the ABs I have decided to watch this game now. I'm particularly interested in how Ioane and BFA go.

I’m going to throw it out there that most of you who said you wouldn’t watch the game still will. You are all All Black supporters regardless.

I will sheepishly put my hand up to be in that camp

Can't miss Read & BFA's (and the others) last games.
Also very keen to see how Rieko goes.

I may tape the delayed coverage and watch it in the morning if I don't hear the score but I very much doubt that.

I still have a video recorder and like to be able to store the game away

@Hooroo I still have one too, one of those burner ones where I converted all my tapes on to DVD
