Rest easy boys
Outside of RCs, Aus have no chance
Not wanting to sound arrogant, but we will only lose if we allow ourselves to lose. If we turn up with the right mindset we should be comfortable winners
-
@canefan Am confident the ABs have the skills and strength to beat the Aussies, just hoping they will have the mindset to withstand the pressure the old foe will def bring to the game and if any of the boys cop a red. If the Wallabies get ahead esp early will be interesting to see how the team cope. They have done okay prev but in this game who knows. A good precursor for the World Cup but I don’t want this to be the time/place for that lesson .
-
An early RC for the Wallabies as they lose their minds trying to physically impose themselves.

If Chieka was coach? For sure. Eddie might have some tricky moves, not sure they will allow them to hold us out for a full 80

My only concern for tonight is that the Fern collective appear pretty happy with the team named, which probably means they've got it completely wrong given our track record of incorrect analysis etc etc
Last time the Fern was happy with the team was Perth 2019 wasn’t it? Didn’t go so well.

The game prior to that was a draw vs Boks in Wellington. Hardly great form....

I’m happy comparing the side to the last few years , it’s an improvement on that so that’s a good thing .
not because I think we can beat everyone.
The jury’s still out on that .

In Auckland CBD pub, some big beer bellied guys in abs shirts are downing 750nl bottles of lion red. They won't remember the game🤣
Fuck, never seen bottles that small.
I guess these big tough guys can't hold their drink! -

That could be a great Fern thread. What’s the most pissed you have been for an All Blacks game but still remembered every piece of play lucidly?

Pretty much every test I watched from the mid 90s to the end of the 2000s

Several banana skins on this on. Three in a row against big teams, Wobblies due a win and hurting and a bit of over-confidence poss. setting in.
I'd be happy with a win on this one, no matter how scrappy.
In London for a wedding so watching could be patchy...on the other hand that might mean The Curse of the Meldrews is less likely to strike...
