Akira Ioane (7)

Luke Jacobson (7)
I’m trying to remember the last test we went into with our starting loose trio all with less than 10 tests.
Big test on Retallick to get this relatively inexperienced pack going if things get hairy.
Ha.
I glanced at that and thought that was their playing numbers.
Then realised I'm an idiot. Again.

Was Montoya the captain against SA? I assume Bosch will get very few minutes like Montoya did himself when Creevy was the captain.
I reckon Matera should be the captain. The whole controversy should be water under the bridge now.
Or Kremer, or Sanchez.

Lol this year, less than 10 together
6: Akira Ioane (2)
7: Dalton Papalii (4)
8: Luke Jacobson (2)I said test, not training run…
Yeah, right. It would be interesting last time Vs tier 1 nation
If 102-0 against a Tongan Invitational NPC side was a ‘test’ then I’ll be damned.
I’m a little concerned this will be quite a disjointed sort of game.

Kremer may get his chance after the RWC I reckon.

Happy to see Jacobsen. Reckon he's the long-term fix there. Sorry Ardie.
What the fuck ? I am THIS close to telling everyone how offended I am by this and then blocking you.
You should be offended. It is Jacobson. Not Jacobsen, he ain't no fancy nancy dead famous Danish architect. Luke Brittain Jacobson (no wonder, born in Cambridge, real Cambridge).
He's a poach?
From Cambridge Waikato (trademark Rhys Darby).

It's official:
How shitty is the graphic design on this - uneven gaps between the players, and dirty messy background
I thought it was a clever graphic visualisation of how well or badly they linked up last game, the loosies were obviously solid but 10-12 a concern.
So I don’t have to scroll through the whole thread Where is the graphic as that might explain how we were exposed close to the Fluffybunny ruck. Thanks mods for the correction.

@act-crusader which means around 30 to 40 when WC comes around. I like it.

Hearing there’s a 50/50 chance Queensland will be in lockdown tomorrow., got a contact in the COVID response team across the ditch ..see what happens .

Recent lockdown was restricted to specific LGAs. We were outside the lockdown area in Fraser Coast.
At this stage the cases seem to be South West of BNE so hopefully it doesn't drag in GC.
Maybe they can all escape to Townsville if they lock down Bne.

@steven-harris Looks like the ABs game could be in doubt if your info is correct. I Foster breathes a huge sigh of relief as he manages to not worsen his 50% win/loss record against the Argies if no play happens.

Or you could argue he misses the opportunity to as to his 79% record.
Oh yeah and he's fat.

Just on that. Was in BNE last weekend. Was a reshuffled alternative to being in Sydders for Me Boo Jr's 18th. (Intent was to send her off to Hamilton! the musical with her best buddy ... she got to go to a cat cafe and Free Guy at Gold Class cinema instead.)
No mask mandate outside but I'd say 90% of people wore them everywhere.
Probably a post for the Covid forum but somehow seems relevant here.

ALB out, Rieko at 13.
Seems like whenever we get a decent midfield combination going, one of them gets injured.
Jinxed since Ma'a & Conrad.

Tups or Ennor on to the bench?
-
it has to be Ennor, just worried his powder is so dry the bench will erupt into hellfire..

National sports journalism at its finest . . . I think I could do this job
Head coach Ian Foster has made six changes to his lineup for Sunday's match, from the one which beat Australia last weekend. But those changes don't notably weaken the All Blacks — Foster has been able to replace wingers Rieko Ioane and Will Jordan with Sevu Reece and George Bridge, without losing any pace or power in the back three.without losing any pace or power. . .
