Bledisloe 1

@Derpus you bore every team to death with the 5 minute long welcome to country land acknowledgement stuff.

Your players must be far more used to enduring that stuff than foreign teams. You have your own advantage.

Of course the Haka is an advantage. It's a literal war dance. They did that shit before war for a reason.

Deal with it.

Amazing. Every single word of what you just said was wrong.

[The Docter]

Can the real ABs finally show up?

[voodoo]

Imagine being an international forward and putting your hand up to say " yeah, the opposition dancing and yelling at me before kick-off really psyches me out, I very much wish they would desist".

The backs I can understand

Based on @Duluth 's challenge in the other thread

Tonight is an interesting indication on if the ABs have really learned things in their last 3 games. One one hand did they note what made us good in the two wins? But most importantly, what made us so very ordinary in the loss?

I expect the ABs to win, and win well. But then i feel like i always think that.

But the Wallabies aren't so shit that if we go away from the tough forward stuff, stand fucking shallow, and go side to side, and our attitude isn't there, they can't tip us over.

A solid pragmatic performance will net a double digit win. A good performance will net a 20-pointer

Getting tipped over by this Wallaby team missing that many good players would be the worst result of the comp so far. Yes, even more than that fucking Argentina performance.

Pretty bloody quiet in the thread, any ferners there want to share a picture.

And if any fluffybunny suggests "self-control" - well... fuck ya. That's not one of my things.

Quelle surprise!

Seems a bit strange to see Hosea back in black but nice to see, will keep an eye on him...

Marvel Stadium .. should have got Nick Fury to do the singing...

a 9:45 kick-off (probably actually 10pm - cause Australia)

It's looking like I was overly optimistic.

[nostrildamus]

Oz commentator says Wallaby backrow is huge---are they? Leota is 1.9 108kg...Samu not that big? Valetini is I guess..

Well you don't read as pissed so there's that..

[pakman]

Cue 10 minutes of dignitaries smoking Wallabies gold?

[nostrildamus]

Lighting in the stadium looks cool, will the Batman appear?

[MajorRage]

A moments silence for the Queen.

First picture ... Eales holding up the World Cup!

[nostrildamus]

Sam Whitelock looks more and more like Thorin II Oakenshield..

[Machpants]
