Frans pays price for not giving away scrum penalties?
Ox hasn't ever let you guys down either has he? Also do you think Wiese is better than Vermeulen? If the tempo picks up like it did in the first 5minutes, think Vermeulen could be exposed.
I'm an AB tragic!!
Lekker boet!

Something you're not telling us @pakman?
@dmx will be instituting proceedings @Bones for implied slander by your confusing me with him!
I'll countersue for implicitly being accused of Biltong fetishes.
That's what I was implying! No confusion here...
Just because I have been known to demolish a bowl of Biltong doesn't make me a Yaapie!
... but it does help...

fuck i love All Black fans
Not 7 days ago this site was awash with how good the selecting was, how maybe we needed to come around on Fozzie based on the improvement in play, and in players, and the new depth we had created
A week later, after a game we fucking won, and it's "get rid of the guy who last week was the long term answer at 6" and "oh we all knew this was coming with Foster he's shit"
We are fucking insufferable. Well, not me, mainly yous
i have a different recollection...there was more of an acknowledgement he had finally started picking sides most of us would be been picking last year, more of a "well done" to the slow kid in class when they did something good
and then we saw he may have picked an acceptable team but he forget to give them a game plan
-
@mariner4life And once again, we won!

@crucial I think Lionel Richie wrote that song for Faf De Klerk:
I long to see the sunlight in my hair
And tell myself time and time again how much I kick into the air
Sometimes I feel the tryline is too far to go
Hello, I've just got to let my backline know
'Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely as I never kick to you?
Tell me how to win the game for I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, oh hang on, someone's injured.. -

F*ck me, a harsh crowd of revisionists. I suspected (70%+) this would be a scrappy dogfight influenced by the refereeing style like the 2015 RWC SF and won by a single score. It was, and the ABs won -
- Without 4-5 pretty automatic starters depending on Paps vs Sam Cane (touch n go, they're not dissimilar)?
- Having definitely uncovered a set of new/raw talent 2 years out from the next world cup, way more upside than the Boks?
- In a game for sure that the Boks were up for 110%?
- ABs playing badly by all acounts ...
- With novice leadership?
Tough crowd. That 2013 unbeaten side had some squeaky-bum moments and brainfarts along the way. Just about to watch a full replay.

So assuming ALB's fitness, if we slot him back to 13, it makes the 'dropping' of Bridge (out of 23) less of an issue, because is pushed out by the best 11 anyway.
As Jacobson was sickness, assume he is back, so Ardie goes to 7, Luke to 8 and Akira stays at 6.
I reckon Webber deserves a start, not sure there is a case for looking good v a tiring Bok defence, they never got out of 2nd gear and with all the breaks, how could they get tired
Which then goes to the bench: Paps in for Blackadder, Mounga will likely come in for Tupaea.
Otherwise same 23 I think...I cant see them resting anyone given it is the last game of TRC (unless they feel someone is farked)

pretty much but i would have richie in for Dmac and either keep quinn or have reece on the bench
seems harsh to drop blackadder as if not for jordie i thought he was almost MotM...but not sure how else to make it work
-
@kiwiwomble i think with Reiko as the back up 13, ALB can go to 12, plus they loves them some Dmac so that's why Mounga comes in for Quinn for me.
I think Paps will be more suited to a tight forward battle, while Ethan played well, I think Paps plays with a shade more size, even though I don't think there is much between them.
