Obviously someone connected to either the NZ Selectors (Fosters Mob) and/or the NZRFU does not agree you you given this three year contract awarded little more than eight months ago

@Higgins NZ Rugby loves giving long contracts to has-beens.

Ardie/Scooter/Paps.

That's fucking awful - bring a 7 on at 8, move a slow footed lock to 6, and move the 8 to 7.

Mex is adamant Paps is not a 7.

what is he then? update: 8? Ok. That might have some merit. But he needs to play there. Didn't catch why Mexted doesn't like Gus or Hosea at 8.

if the loose forwards are dominating who is letting Ardie down to win 2/8? Did a journalist ask him?

That doesn’t mean he is an automatic AB selection though. Shame he is tied to NZ could probably pick up some good dollars up north

[Donsteppa]

Unless there are some late arrivals, it's not looking like a sellout.

[Machpants]

First time ever I'll be happy with a loss

[antipodean]

Is this weather going to stick around or pass through?

@Machpants I'm still buzzing from our win earlier, not sure I want to watch

Lol yeah, don't ruin there moment

[Higgins]

@Nevorian But he will still be getting paid big money whether he plays or not. On top of the retainer part of the contract there are various top ups payable on assembly, whether you take part in training, part of the matchday 23 or part of the starting 15. Either way he will still be taking home decent money and the use of a Ford motor vehicle (or at least it was part of the package a few years back) that could be better used on another prospect.

That are we are reactive team that can't string together consistent performances and likely to lose knockout games because of it.

Also probably rely on emotion to "get up" for the odd good performance that papers over the cracks of poor selection and poor coaching.

Great summary.

[KiwiMurph]

Plenty of empty seats.

Wish there was some empty seats around the Board table

[chimoaus]

Fuck I hope they play better than this singer.
