@booboo Interesting interview just now by Drew Mitchell with Eddie Jones, who seemed less lippy than normal and said something about how this game was a chance to spin the wheel and check out some younger players ahead of the World Cup.

Said something quite different in an interview with Goldie just now. He wants to put us under pressure for the first time this season, surmises that the ABs fast start this season is down to the players trying to back up Fozz with the backdrop of the Foster Robinson situation. Having fun trolling a little bit

The fast starts in the last 2 testaare unusual for the ABs. Of late we have been slow off the blocks.

If we start well again tonight that would be a good sign.

How late are they running tonight? 10 minutes?

[TJ]

I thought Stevenson had left the squad? Have seen him lurking around in the warm ups.

This is going to be a bloodbath

If that happens, I wonder how much it will damage their belief in the new way Eddie wants to play.

I reckon they’ll be ok - they’re still fucking Australians after all, they never stop believing

[Tim]

@TJ Nah, been training with them this week. Cover for Narawa, I guess.

[Tim]

Crowd size?

Yeah, I cut off the show I was watching in time for the haka and now I have to sit through the fucking anthems.

Normally I’d say boo-hoo, but if our anthem is as bad as last week then I genuinely feel for you

[Tim]

Get on with it FFS!

Hope the Aussie performance is as amateurish looking as that Aussie Morris dancing

[voodoo]

Aussie haka was pretty sweet

@Tim lol at the random kid going off on a tangent.

First Bledisloe Cup game between two Samoan by-descent captains?

Fat chicks in active wear? Yeah nah

That must've been the Bruce Pascoe mob doing the Welcome to Country.

I quite liked that, haven't seen it before, and the girl pronounced Maori and whanau better than any of our commentators.

[nostrildamus]

Our 13 looks bigger than our 8. According to Blackdragon maths that means Ardie to 12?

This is some shit anthem singing

Has anyone listened to the Sky TV alternative commentary?

I'm actually watching this in French at a house in London. Interesting experience.
